I have returned from my adventures in the far-off land of Broadwainica
Don't ask about the subject...I was trying to come up with some faux-Dungeons & Dragons/C Average type title...it didn't work.
Went up to the Six Arms for a nutritious lunch (a Boca burger and a bottle of Lucky Lager), then got my hair cut. It's...er..different. Actually, it's like it was about a year ago (sorta spiky). After that, I went up to Cell Square and Disc Go Round (which isn't Disc Go Round anymore, but I can't remember what the new name is) and purchased new muzeek, some of which is old stuff that I never got around to buying, or stuff I've never heard but thought I might like:
Didn't find any French pop, tho'.
Now I'm home. John Zorn is playing at Benaroya Hall tonight. Why am I not there? Cuz I spaced and didn't get tickets in time, cuz I'm a lazy ass and waited till after the frickin box office was closed. I suppose I could have just sauntered down there and tried to get in anyway, but I didn't. I have only myself to blame. I suck.

Ensemble Nipponi - Japan ~ Traditional Vocal & Instrumental Music
Hot Water Music - Fuel For The Hate Game: I've noticed that Stacy seems to be listening to these folks pretty often...figgerd what the hey...
Nine Inch Nails - Pretty Hate Machine: Lemme put this in perspective - the first time I heard "Down In It" was on MTV's 120 Minutes when I was in the 8th grade. If that doesn't date me, I dunno what does.
Polecat - High Pressure System: Local, sorta emo/not-quite-hardcore stuff. In fact, a lot more emo than I remember from seeing them live.
The Smashing Pumpkins - Adore: $4.99, folks. Whether or not you realize it, they were a Chicago band, hence Brad Wood being all over this record. I'm still waiting for Billy Corgan to start a supergroup with Steve Albini and Al Jourgensen...they could call themselves The Uptight Frontmen of Chicago Ensemble. Hey - it's an idea.
The Twilight Singers - Twilight As Played by The Twilight Singers: Say goodnight, Mr. Dulli.
various - Natural Born Killers sdtrk.
various - Rawkus presents Soundbombing II
