Simon Bar Sinister

somebody give her the questions, mmkay?

don't blame the DJ. that hour-plus break between bands was inexcusable. even at stadium shows, there's no more than 35 minutes dead time.

They said they'd be back next year, so maybe you'll get another shot. my fave song was the second new one; really spare and beautiful.

come to think of it...how do 24 females live in the same cage without killing each other?

fuck Facebook...and I couldn't possibly care any less about this contest.

My father fought in Korea for the last 14 months of the war over there. When he arrived in NYC (he took a 6-week trip on a troop transport ship home, as opposed to flying over the Pacific), he got a bus ticket to Laredo, Texas (he wasn't living here yet). When he got south of the Mason-Dixon line, he had to drink at "colored" fountains...eat at places that allowed coloreds...you get the picture. When I hear conservatives say they're for "traditional" values, that's the first tradition that comes to my mind. I think the worst of any conservative until they prove otherwise. Unfortunately, more often than not my suspicions have been proven right. I know that's the luck of the draw, but knowing that changes nothing.

fucking great show. ya should've been there.

high five!

that tonight's gonna be a good night.

Doors are at 8. there's one opening band. Covenant should go on around 10. You should be able to make it.

jeez, I know I haven't gone to a rave in almost 15 years, but do they suck that bad now?

DGN Messenger notification doesn't seem to be working now, either. D: update: the e-mail notification is what's not working. sorry for any confusion. update2: e-mail notification seems to be delayed? they were there...just a while after the messages were posted. update3: looks like everything's right again

"Hemispheres(live)" - Rush

It's been 30 years since Ian Curtis' death, and the reach of his and Joy Division's influence continues seemingly unabated. Indeed, there's a tribute happening tonight: http://www.detroitgothic.net/index.php?showtopic=33278 if you can make it, you should...but if you can't, you can help make one here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzTw4PYfROU&feature=related

Land of DEET would be a better name, though.
