I'm the queen of the world. I bump into things.

What can I say? I was totally psyched to see Norwegian ass-kicker Ida Maria kick the North Star's ass and she delivered. Her whole band brought it, actually. It was particularly spectacular to hear her pull off the smoky vocal acrobatics that make Fortress Round My Heart such a powerful piece of work. Damn. It was shocking to see the entire house sing along to "I Like You So Much Better When You're Naked." Guess that's the single. I thought "Oh My God" was the big one. No matter. Pretty much every song felt like a hit.
