this week was interesting….

so i saw The East Village Opera Company in concert at a venue about 15-20 minutes very chilly walk from my dorm…
it was spectacularly terrific, reminded me why I like artists like Yngwie Malmsteen and The Mars Volta…while EVOC didn't exactly redefine opera or make me want to go out and watch Rigoletto or anything, it was an amazing musical experience…

ok, ok, so the male vocalist had a voice so pretty it was almost effeminate (just in singing, he sounded like a completely normal, leather-clad guy when he talked), and there wasn't quite…

1. You go to a party, sit down and take MySpace pics.

2. You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years.

3. The reason for not staying in touch with your friends is that they don't have AIM/LiveJournal/MySpace/Last.Fm.

4. You'd rather look all over the house for the remote instead of just pushing the button on the TV.

6. Your evening activity is sitting at the computer.

7. You read this list, and keep nodding and smiling.

8. You think about how stupid you are for reading this.

9. You were too busy to notice number five.

10. You…

Soso, my fellow audioscrobblers…these are albums that I've been listening to a lot (rather obsessively, if I might add), and so they've been jiggling, warping, and otherwise completely rearranging my charts around….

Antics

Yeay!!!…pretty much my first Interpol album ever…my brother bought the special edition w/the remixes and videos..videos ok, remixes superb, especially Public Pervert …C'mere makes me think of old times and people, opportunities lost.

Overall, I give it a double thumbs up/yeay!.

Rising Force

Ahhh…what to say???…starts off w/Black Star, which is superbly written and feels like you're gliding down the neck of the guitar,…

….the "joys" of camping.

So, I had this brilliant IDEA when HannaH and I went to Priscila's house last month.

"Hey, why don't we go CAMPING???"

"Ok, GOOD IDEA."

Twenty-something days and over 70 tick/chigger/deep woods zombie bites later, do I still think it was a GOOD IDEA?

…………

If your IDEA of a GOOD next few days is spending all your time scratching your butt and rubbing calamine lotion over unmentionable areas to forget for one instant the horrible curse of the chiggers from hell, then yes.

On the upshot, when I got bored, I'd start humming Yngwie Malmsteen…

I was looking at a friend's profile on myspace and listening to Muse at the same time just now….he has In Your Face on his profile, and I had Butterflies & Hurricanes going on windows media player…i think they sort of mated in my head and made this very interesting spot of music w/Children of Bodom's devilish vocals and Muse's almost ethereal undertones….hmm….

So, I walk into FYE yesterday afternoon, and what is it that I find for sale at $11.99???….only the most kick-@$$ cd I've bought in a while-ok, ok, the ONLY cd I've bought in a while, I'm poor.

I wanted to get but Frances the Mute , yah, know, four extra bucks that i ended up spending on the most freaking AWESOME muffins at Frulatti-but I diverge.

De-Loused In the Comatorium is one of the most original rock albums I've listened to ever. It's got some blues, some Latin flavor, some vocals worthy of Thom Yorke and Matthew Bellamy,…

i just graduated from high school a couple of hours ago…kind of cool except for the whole beta-club-sash-slapping-me, the tassel-getting-in-the-mouth, the not-having-mastered-the-art-of-sleeping-with-my-eyes-open, and let's not forget the getting-hugs-from-wierd-old-men-i-don't-even-know thing…it's insane…but at least preston smiled at me…that's a start..i thought he was starting to hate me…or be afraid…or maybe he was and was just smiling b/c he thought i was gonna bite his head off…hehe…people coming over tomorrow for carnitas and heinekens….YESSSSSSSSSSS……I'm My Own Enemy

i've been listening to a BUNCH of malmsteen lately…i have to say, yngwie malmsteen is one of the best guitar players ever…and i have my bum/drunk friend chris from ohio to thank for it…:D….oh, malmsteen….where have you been all my life

my favorite songs so far are Overture 1622, Pagannini's 5th Caprice, Bedroom Eyes and of course, the Zelda Theme song…i'm terrible at this markup tag thing…oh, and Flight of the Bumblebee rocks my socks…:D

the title says it all….who's willing to join me??

you know you want to…..

i can see you eyeing it……

just give in to the temptation…….
