This has to be my favorite show so far this year, easy. And, I proved myself to be a complete idiot by half-ignoring Ogre when I bumped into him on the street...
Can you guys knock something around for me? Some of you have seen it before, but check out Collection Browser. So it's a collection of my CDs, with extra Amazon-Link goodness. I hope that works, I have little idea how that works, but it searches for them anyway, so as far as a user is concerned, it works fine.
The Treo 700w is not the worst camera phone in the world. Since my involuntary unemployment, I've had to relinquish the Treo, and tonight went out with an LG POS. I have no idea what the model is. Phone sucked, but at least I was entertained.
Pogues at Avalon. Perfect time of year to see a band I've wanted to see since I was old enough to care about decent music. Every 6 months there is another report about how Shane MacGowan should be deader than Keith Richards, and I always worried I'd never get my chance to see this.
Everyone should check out Baby Rock Records "Rockabye Baby!" instrumental re-interpretations of modern rock artists. We have the Tool one and just got the Nine Inch Nails one today. They're super creepy (especially the Tool CD). We don't have kids. I guess that makes us creepy too.
Well, I haven't felt like that big a dork in quite a while...
...and I'm a pretty big dork.
Show was about what I expected, music wise. It was way too treble heavy though, which kind of bugged me.
One thing I didn't expect was the crowd. I guess I didn't really know what to expect, but it was the most polite, well behaved, tidy, obedient bunch of folks I've ever been around at a show. Maybe, maybe Rasputina, when they made us all sit on the floor so everyone could see, could even come close.
These actually came out really good. I attribute that to me being At. The. Stage and to the lighting being very photo-friendly, not to my camera phone which still sucks.
