I recollect that the first time I heard Grace play "Things" was at Terminal 5 in NYC (11/20/09) where, with the exception of "Paris" and "Medicine", I heard alot of the new album for the first time (I think at this point it was still the T-Bone record).  Grace mentioned that she had written the song for "Confessions of a Shop-a-holic" but the producers rejected the song which, she said, turned out to be a good break because it became the first song recorded for a new album.

I'm really looking forward to the Irving Plaza shows.  It will be my first time seeing the band on back to back nights.  It will be the kick-off of a crazy three weeks of music.
