I'm hating a lot of things right now,which is typical. Someone has almost rendered this keyboard unworkale. Which sucks -- its not my computer, but it still is not cool. Show some respect, dude. The space bar is something that should work... you know?
life sucks,

i played my first show last saturday. though it feels like longer than that. last friday spiraled into a drunken fight with a girl i live with who wouldnt drive me home, who got mad when i grabbbed her arm, and said i molested her. (what would i get out of that?? answer that queston.) well, we talked about it... things are okay. then we played a show together, at a friends house. i almost backed out of it. i played for about 6 minutes. a few people watched. most people said it was good. thanks to them. i wouldnt mind doing it again.. i just need some more shit to do..

ok, fuck you. im done.thought id slide in and write a quick one. life still sucks; im still broke; chicago is hot and so are you. goodnight.

progress.

----------
This weekend a friend and I went to milwaukee to see Crispin Hellion Glovers film, "What is it?"
and all i have to say is WOW. It blew me the fuck away. If you don't know anything about this movie by now, you probably shouldn't even exist. Go see it if it ever comes to your town!

The reader gave the play Meg is in an awful review, but she thought that was cool.
The play was pretty good. I saw it two weeks in a row. first to see it, second to bring someone to see it. Afterwards we went out for drinks with some friends. Decent night.

now....

Those who miscommunicate things really need to shut the fuck up (myself included.) Really, it's better for everyone that way... dontcha think? I'm not so sure things are going to be okay. It seems "forced" in all aspects. Company is nice, but is it really worth it??

Name dropping from pretentious assholes and idiot adults who have the mindset of high school boys who never had many friends who always dated the girls with low self esteem because they were the only ones they could keep. It only makes sense... right?Keep the dick and fart jokes to yourself, i'll be fine without them, thank's anyways. Donthca think tits are awesome, dude? Lame.

I smell the flu/various bacterias and or viruses. (this is a literal statement from someone who has no sense of smell.) It smells gross. Good thing I got my flu shot. Hopefully that will save me.

a few weeks ago.

I just wasn't getting into what macronympha was doing with their stage show. Two girls pworwling each others bodies, slowly, and seemed very forced.
It was funny to me that so and so was there PROBABLY to see them? Oh, he's funny.... and looking more disgusting as time goes by (it's sad.) I remember 5 or 6 years ago... wasn't that aged yet....
Wolf Eyes weren't really holding me. I dont know why. They even had this time where Dillo came up on stage and playe with them (he hasn't been an active member of the band probably for at least over a year) but I just wasn't getting into it. Haven't listened to the $20 double LP "river slaughter" yet, just cuz i've been too lazy.... and if you blink stuff like that will disappear. I remmber about 5 years ago the first time I saw them. Might have been just Nate/Aaron. wasn't shit. I didn't dig it yet.... it took a few times of seeing them on familiar bills to start getting into it... still have that first record (W.E./Nautical split 12"...mine is green but I remember some blue ones floating around. Some film website was selling it for about $30 about 3 years ago. I don't know what it's worth now. But yeah, sw them a few times after the first over a year or so and thought it was decent.. then came the night I bought the Dread LP from Nautical at a show.... took it home and it blew me the fuck away. Then after that it was like whenever I saw them they were kicking in full force, totally awesome shows, went to one everytime thy came around... which was maybe almost like 5 or 6 times a year in its 'peak'... last two times i've seen em with Connelly it hasn't been as good... don't know if i've outgrown it or if it's just getting a bit boring... I don't want to sound mean...


I was really sick that night the other week anyways..... and annoyed. it dosent matter.

question:

Why did Throbbing Gristle get back together after all these years?

I thought the "mission was terminated" ?

So I heard that 4 song TG-NOW thing they put out, and I guess it was decent... but dosen't this go against everything they stood for? I hear a brand new albums about to come out, called "Throbbing Gristle Two".....and so it leaves me wondering if they're now grouped in the same camp as such sequel bands as "Electric Light Orchestra Two" and so on and so forth???

whitehouse.

The whitehouse show was amazing.... I think it was probably better than last time they played here, about 5 or so months ago. Some asshole threw their shirt at them and it landed on Philip's head. They did this shit in between songs where theyd just shoot out noise from the omputers that I don't remember them doing last time... the other show I just remember as blasting song after song until it ended. They played a lot of the same songs (all newer, here's what I remember.... ruthless babysitting, why you never became a dancer, (variation on) a cunt (i can never tell the two apart?), dans (maybe), cruise, movememnt etc etc....) switching the one 'classic' they did last time (rock and roll) for tit pulp..... which was fucking incredible. They've been cancelling a lot of shows on this North American tour, but I wasn't worried about Chicago for some reason... closed the same way they did last time, posing during "movement2000' or whatever they want to call it now... Cheer-Accident opened, which was plesant as well. Thymmes been saying he'd give me a copy of trading baloons on cd cuz i lost mine, instead he broght the whole package and told me I could buy it again... I told him I didn't have any money but he gave me the whole thing anyways. I also asked him to put aside a you fantastic! shirt for me with serious brown and curious brown on it, and he gave me that too. But I think i'll pay him for it next time I see him....

My roomate had to leave about two or three songs into whitehouse's set cuz she was sick from some fumes Andy painted at the drop in and kept puking. But I guess she didn't get molested this time....

hey thats the '90s for ya

hey I tried to email Dave Eaves at CallD4Info@aol.com but it bouned back at me. That's the '90s for ya.

(I've been looking at the "Chicago show list" archive which unfortunatley cuts off a few months after I started going to shows...)

3/11/06 and last weekend too.

What an exciting day this should be....
I'm sure i'll spend most of it in bed, however i'll be spending the evening at subterannean (just a few blocks from my house, though i'll probably drive halfway and park somewhere on North Ave as I usually do when I head over to that "hot spot" that is the crotch of wicker park... )
Why?
WHITEHOUSE is back! Again! (They were just here 11/05/05) And opening for them is another one of my faviorite bands, Cheer-Accident. Last time the only words I had after I was stunned by whitehouse were "I finally saw whitehouse! I got choked, and Meg got molested!" And I doubt i'll have much more to say after tonights show... I can only hope that if she does in fact go to it, some fat pervert asshole won't try to finger fuck her while she's trying to enjoy who she sometimes refers to as her "favorite band" (She dosen't even like much music too begin with. Are whitehouse really even "music"?)

And for some odd reason (I think to recover from the show) I took this Sunday off of work--which works out really good-- because I signed up for this zinemaking workshop and for attending I will get $50, which will definitley help me out, as I've been hurting a little bit financially as of latley. No big deal.

I saw my life with the thrill kill kult at double door last Saturday night. I used to see them frequently (well, about once a year is when they played a show) with Joe and Dustin throughout our highschool years, and the othr night Joe baied to play video games but another longtime pal (who hadn't seen them before, only a failed attempt once) JD got us tickets in advance, which I guess was good because by the time we entered and Chris Connelly had already started his set, the show was sold out. I wouldn't have been that upset if I had showed up without a ticket and was denied entry, as I wasnt THAT excited to go... was just going to do so because I haven't seen them live in at least 4 years.... So, the show was decent, they played a lot of the old 'hits' that one should expct out of them, but I've seen them play much better shows. Jd seemed extremely pleased with it....

While I was waiting for JD to show up and deliver me my ticket I went into myopic briefly. (I had just spoken with him on the phone and it was a matter of finding parking/walking to the double door.) So I really only had time to quickly browse the new buyback book piles (nothing that interesting by the quick run through) and time enough to check right by the counter, where they keep the 'hip' stuff that I'm sure would be stolen if left anywhere else. I picked up Henry Rollins book "Art to Choke Hearts/Pissing in the Gene Pool" I know I've criticized him to some before mentioning that I sort of feel like he "tries too hard", but as I browsed through it I liked what I read, and it only ran me about $6.

Sunday morning I slept in and missed a very important appointment. I'm not going to discuss that, so i'll just mention that Sunday was hell....

Macaulay Culkin wrote a semi-autobiography (pretty weird) called "junior." I took it on loan from work, and have read a bit of it. It's sort of loose, somewhat reminds me of the 'novel' Harmony Korine did in the late 90's "A Crackup at the Race Riots" but it's really nothing like that book at all, it merley reminds me of it.
okay i'll shut up for now.

on the word "blog"

First off -- one of the reasons i stayed away from the world of "blogging" for so long because I think it's just dumb. But I think i'll have some fun with this, now that i actually started one I thin i'll make it worthwhile.

ANOTHER reason I dont like it is becauswe it reminds me of some obscene sex act--not anything good, but something more along the lines of a "dirty sanchez" or a "cleavland steamer"....
do you need some examples some examples? okay, here:

"Hey there, lookin' good... can I blog you tonight?"

"Hey baby wanna blog?"


"Then things were gettin pretty extreme-- I mean like hot and heavy.. then all the sudden, out of nowhere she TOTALLY blogged me."

stream of consciousness.

That belonged to William "Willlie" Nelson. Do you have a drink? I'd like one, thanks.I would love to have something floating around down there. I haven't seen anything fo WEEKS on end. I just dropped the cigarette on my t-shirt but it didn't burn through. I also heard a human voice that said "hummm... last night."
