i'm not missing any am i??

thursday night was the ozzy osbourne and rob zombie concert at key arena which turned out to be awesome! i was hoping for a crazy over the top performance to kick off halloween and wasn't disappointed.

rob zombie's performance was my favorite. the stage was incredibly cool with three giant monster heads, huge pictures of wolfman and frankenstein, tons of skulls and projection screens playing things like classic horror and clips from house of a 1000 corpses and devil's rejects... so sweet! :) he played a ton of great songs and looked like he was really enjoying being back on stage.

well i was crazy busy last month with work, my car breaking, my laptop breaking, and the blockparty demoparty, but don't think i'd forget to post about the new nine inch nails album! it's awesome!!! when i first listened i was a little disappointed having hoped for much higher BPM (yeah been listening to too much trance hehe), but it still sucked me in. after buying the CD, a Rhapsody copy, an iTunes copy, and a Zune copy i hope i've done my part to help make Reznor a billionaire. it's the least i can do for him not taking half a decade to release this one. ;)

thanks kyle for telling me about ladytron coming to town!  looks like they'll be playing the showbox october 13th.  tickets can be had here for 18$ cheap.  i hope they're awesome live.

you ever listen to an album so much at some time that whenever you listen to it again later you remember so clearly all the stuff that happened in your life at that time?  i think that feeling is so cool that i do it on purpose.  this may be because my memory otherwise is so terrible, but hey whatever works.  :)  since i listened to witching hour like exclusively for a couple weeks when it was released i can use it at any time to teleport myself back to the year 2005.  fear!  ;)

i finally figured out how to get pictures off my phone so i can now post about sasquatch!  :)  it was awesome!  of course!  nine inch nails... the gorge... come on.  it's a long drive from seattle to george wa, so i took the day off work, slept in, then drove the 140ish miles.  the drive is beautiful.  i made it to the gorge in record time because 1) my car likes to go fast and 2) my foot gets realllly heavy when i become bored of the cds in my car. 

just got my ticket for sasquatch!  ticketmaster is so crazy... they give you a time limit on each page where you have to fill in your info.  you have 1 minutes to fill in your address and credit card info and select your shipping and ... yikes it's almost been 1 minutes just reading those instructions!  i need more minutes!  it reminded me of the c&c red alert 2 installer which gave a countdown for entering the like 25 letter cd key - that was intense.  :)

maybe it's just the weather, but i've been listening to a lot of autolux.

 

the new korn album is killer.  if you're a fan of good music (who isn't?) give it a listen.

 

i went shopping to get a usb cable so i could put some movies on my psp in preparation for a looong airplane flight. i was pleasantly surprised to find a nice package with not only the usb cable but also a nine inch nails dvd! it's a little cheesy cuz most of it is only parts of music videos, but hey this is awesome... a nin dvd should come free with every electronics purchase! :)

philosomatika is a great stream to listen to while working.  trance music keeps you alert and productive.  :)



nectarine plays demo scene
music which is mostly good except for the occasional long strings of
chip tunes.  i advocate using moderation while listening to chip
tunes.

any others?

i disagree that witching hour is their best, but then again i have had it looping for a couple days now...

nine inch nails concert at key arena was great. autolux opened and wasn't bad. queens of the stoneage followed and they were completely lame. but then reznor was up and was phenomenal. hurt, burn, and right where it belongs all in one performance... so awesome. and unbelievably the song deep is actually really good live. who could have known?

it should be obvious to anyone that's seen it that trent reznor's video for only is one the best music videos of all time. here's a link.

buy with teeth and experience the glory.

ladytron rocks.
