bands i saw friday., cold cave iggy pop, then i was a pussy and went to bed, meaning i missed shonen knife and liars, saturday boredoms residents ruins the xx james chance and les contortions sunday boredoms (again , you'd be a fool not too) the tiger lillies daniel johnston the raincoats. then i drove home at half midnight, got in at 3am. best band live was boredoms , obviously residents was great,and ruins was definately a good choice . i was less impressed by the xx and tiger lillies, i dont get what the hype is with the xx , maybe they will grow on me. iggy pop has funny skin. if i was gonna fuck a man it wouldnt be him. video is from first boredoms show.

ok, so these got withdrawn and had stickers put over the word lysol and the writing on the spines blacked out with pen, my copy was a blacked out one with the sticker very well removed from the cover showing almost no signs of being there, but the spine cant ever be replaced so i got another copy, and ill keep both now unless i get desperate for cash.

i couldnt say it better myself so i stole this from chunklet.com
The Two-headed Beast of the Decade: The MP3. Yes, I download a lot of stuff. For example the stuff Henry and I (by far mostly Henry) post on this very site. But I confine my DLing to what it should be: oddball, unreleased, live, hopelessly out of print, demos, and the otherwise unattainable. In that aspect the MP3 is a priceless treasure. But if you went to some blog-spot or torrent site and downloaded a lousy bit rate version of the last Torche album (for example), you can fuck right off. You have nothing. And deserve it. And don’t give me that tired line of “but I live in a tiny, squalled, town with no cool place to get stuff”. If you have computer for stealing it, it’s easier than ever to mail order anything over the web. Like I’ve said before, I can’t wait until some 16 year-old Russian kid invents the super virus the erases every MP3 library in the world. Then what will you have? Jack fucking squat that’s what. I’ll have my LP, my CD, my 7” – for they are objects. But you? You and your precious download just screwed everybody from the musicians themselves, to the graphic designers, to the engineers, to the pressing plant workers, to even the poor slobs that stick the damn things in a box and tape it up. Not to mention, ya know the fucking stores that kill themselves trying to remain a part of the culture. MUSIC IS TANGIBLE. I can hold a record in my hand, place it in your hand, and keep it on my shelf. You, you Internet only asshats, can - right click, save as, fuck off.
