do they not sell Djarums in Canada?

the only show that I'd have any kind of a shot at would be Cleveland, and it ain't much of a shot. :(

I'm glad this thread started the way it did...but it's not meant to be just a "roots of industrial" thread. I'll be posting more of that type of thing, to be sure; I'll also drop in some newer stuff, and I encourage others to do the same.

that sucks. shouldn't we be a "hometown" gig at this point?

glad to see the interest in this thread! :D check this out - it's Mycenae Alpha by Iannis Xenakis, a Greek composer who died a few years ago. I think you'll like it. perhaps I should explain the visuals: those scrolling drawings are the written notation for the composition. A UPIC machine "reads" the drawing (that's what the vertical line is) and plays the corresponding sounds.

funny you should mention that; i saw a story on the news a couple of nights ago about some state (might've been this one) contemplating the institution of a tax on soda. using the $$$ to help fund med care and such.

something for the knitters here:

let's begin with industrial's precursor in the music world, musique concrete: ...there may be purists who take offense at this claim; feel free to do so.

all I can suggest is to write something every day, even if it's just a few words.

1) clove cigs are the only ones that shouldn't be banned. 2) there goes the goth scene. glad the Lab's not around to see this.

just went and checked. if there's going to be an opening act, it hasn't been announced yet. there's no "Skinny Puppy wsg tba (to be announced)" on any ticket site, the ROMT's site or Skinny Puppy's site.

i just assumed it was an east side thing.

didn't Gorgoroth's main guy come out of the closet about a year ago?

lots of science-y books various mythology collections Grimm's Fairy Tales ...don't remember the name, but it was a Dr. Seuss book about letters beyond Z Childhood's End - I was 12 when I read it for the 1st time. I was Catholic when I started it and an atheist when I finished. Velveteen Rabbit ...if I can remember the names of more, I'll post 'em.

most embarrassing moment, by far. 1st breakup was good and easy. what were the most comfy shoes you ever owned?

Your Attention Span is Long You're attention span is amazingly long. You can concentrate well, and your mind doesn't stray easily. Even if you have a mundane task to complete, you can get it done easily. Because you don't get distracted, you accomplish more than most people. Your self discipline is your greatest strength. You can will yourself to do almost anything. All you have to do is put your mind to it. How's Your Attention Span? Blogthings: Take a Quiz.
