..april 14, 10:33pm..
ton of
good shows coming up at the 9:30 club. (schedule
here). among them:
4/15 They Might Be Giants
+ M. Doughty (ex-Soul Coughing)
4/26 Goldfinger
5/12 Elliot Smith
5/26 Primal Scream
(with Kevin Shields of My Bloody Valentine on guitar)
5/29 The The
6/01 George Clinton and
Parliament/Funkadelic
6/15 MDFMK (KMFDM)
6/19 Sonic Youth (with
Jim
O'Rourke) + Stereolab
of these, Sonic Youth i
am definitely going to (unless it sells out within the next couple
of days). i would love to go to the Doughty/TMBG show too, but it's tomorrow
night and i don't have much money at the moment. Goldfinger's new cd sucks
(so i hear) so maybe they suck live now. Elliot Smith is kind of pretentious
but i hear he's good live. i'd like to see him some time, but it won't
be this time. NIN is on the same night. i wanna see Primal Scream just
because of the amazing Kevin Shields. i hope i go to that show. The The
i would love to see too but probably won't because it's the night before
the HFStival and the cost is $25 plus service charge (ridiculous). George
Clinton would be an awesome show that would go on forever. however it's
$35 which is pretty annoying. i can tell you now i am not going to that.
i think i'll be out of town around then anyway. KMFDM i am not actually
a big fan of but i like them ok.
there are other musicians
playing this month that i like. krs-one i've seen before. violent femmes,
talib kweli, ben folds five i have minor interest in. negativland would
be a funny show. mouse on mars and patti smith would be good to see too.
me'shell n'deceocello is also a great musician. but when everything is
said and done i bet i'll only be seeing NIN and SY as well as the HFStival.
still, that plus ryuichi sakamoto and the toasters is an ok start for 2000!
..april 11, 08:04pm..
i have
to write this. i would just be further angry with myself if i didn't. you
see, i've had content i could put up here all month. oh yes. but i forgot
it all. i get ideas in my head while very away from keyboard (often
in chemistry or pre-calculus class) but i don't remember them a few hours
later. sometimes i do and dismiss them as being boring.
well
today's update will be truly boring for you, faithful donotreader. but
for me it will hopefully be enlightening.
short
quips:
*things fall apart:
damn good book. extremely slow to get into it, but i ended up reading 2/3
of the book in the last week and 1/3+ of it in the last 24 hours.
*wu-tang clan: excellent.
i love wu-tang. especially the production. rza is a sheer genius. also
great is the funkstörung remix of wu-tang's "reunited".
*pretty hate machine:
i've listened to this album and its demo version exclusively for the last
16 days. i've heard other songs of course but no other musical album in
its entirety, save moby's animal rights 2 and a half weeks ago.
hence this month's graphic, which, by the way, i made the day of or the
day before april 1, not just now.
here's where you can stop
reading. this be a list of things i need to accomplish this month.
