Simon Bar Sinister

stop bullets in midair

The greatest live performer I've ever seen (6 concerts between '83 and '98), and I can't imagine anyone ever reaching those levels again. Oh, and if you haven't heard his latest album "Blackstar" yet, what the hell are you waiting for?

Two absolute titans; I got to see Bowie live 6 times and Motorhead at least 4. Trust me, I know how lucky I was.

"Is Your Love Strong Enough" - Bryan Ferry

BABYMETAL is coming to DETROIT!

How good are you at building things out of LEGO, really? Because Michigan's LEGOLand is seeking a master builder! get paid to play!

A LOT of Public Enemy lyrics; the first one that comes to mind is, "You singers are spineless/As you sing your senseless songs to the mindless." Probably my fave couplet ever. Always liked Morrisey's lyrics, even as his songs got worse and worse. Never really been much of a Springsteen fan, but damn, do I wish I'd written the lyrics to the opening verses of "Thunder Road": "The screen door slams, Mary in dress waits like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays ...and on through the "and that's alright with me" line. The song goes to shit after that, but damn, is that opening brilliant. ...maybe more later?

every day is goth chick appreciation day.

Hatsune's touring North America next year! http://gizmodo.com/hologram-pop-star-hatsune-miku-announces-2016-us-and-1742320852 Closest date so far is Toronto. I doubt there will be a Detroit date, but there's still one city to be determined, so maybe Chicago still has a shot.

Holy crap...some guy flipped out on an Aer Lingus (Ireland's national airline) flight, BIT another passenger, AND THEN DIED. The passenger who was bitten has been hospitalized. Is the zombie apocalypse here?!! https://twitter.com/gillyarcht/status/655911411722395648

The Crofoot is tweeting that the show got cancelled...but they're also saying it was supposed to happen tomorrow night and not tonight. WTF?

Nights are getting longer, haunted attractions are getting ready to go, what could be better?

While heading north on Woodward about an hour ago, I noticed that Roseland Park cemetery (Woodward @12 Mile in Berkley) Had a banner hanging on its fence advertising jobs for counselors, so they're looking for more than one. Info here: for the living.

The show's at the Crofoot in Pontiac on September 24! Prurient is opening and tix are $25 in advance. Get on it! look here

This show got moved to the Fillmore, which is a huge jump. :D
