  1. Moar musik

    Void Dweller's comment on my last entry gave me the itch to post some more songs/music videos. It's all your fault :tongue:

    I'm not a huge Coil fan. I do however enjoy this song off what I believe was their last album before Johnn Balance died.

  2. I kissed another woman. It felt great. Did I 'cheat' on my husband, who I love very m

    [B]This was two days after my mother's funeral, i meet a friend from meetbi.com, Gail . and I were sitting in my old room. Gail's Mom died when she was 11. We were sitting on the edge of my old bed. We just looked at each other and it happened. No tongue down the throat. We did not 'grope' each other. Like I said, it felt luscious. Other than my husband, I never kissed anyone else. After we 'came to' Gail just said, "Wow, that was different."[/B]
    [B]It felt great. I am happily married, or am I? Did I 'cheat' on my husband, who I love very much.

  4. A few thoughts on music I like

    Sometimes I can be a bit snobby when it comes to things I'm really into. I don't mean to be a dick, I can just be a little annoyingly picky. Like with beer. I know what I like (mostly stouts and porters), and I try to avoid most of the watered down knave-swill that a lot of my friends drink.

    Same goes for the music I listen to. I've managed to find some pearls in the slag heap, but a lot of "modern" music doesn't really impress me. I prefer to stick to the classics as a general rule. This especially goes for Metal, where old school is always the best. So much newer Metal is just boring in comparison.

    Same blast beats with way too much wierd sappy sounding snare and obviously triggered digital sounding double bass? Check. Same incredibly downtuned guitars with way too much reverb? Got it. Obnoxiously low gut-puking interspersed with hissing and or/shrieking? Uh-huh. Partying now.

    Metal is still very special to me. A lot of bands I like do some or all of those things at times. But I've become a lot more discriminating about the Metal I choose to listen to. For one- sick of all the satanic/occult schlock. Tired of one dimensional "Metal Bands" hiding behind computers and keyboards and shit. Do I have something against keyboards? Not at all. Rick Wakeman is freaking amazing. My problem is these guys like Alexi Laiho who use so much in the way of effects that their shit ends up sounding less like Metal riffing and more like fucking nintendo music.

    I'm sick of pointlessly convoluted "technical" stuff that guitar students drool and get hard over. I have nothing personal against Steve Vai and Joe Satriani and Yngwie Malmsteen and John Petrucci et al. They are very talented people. But frankly, to listen to them or see them live is like being jacked off upon with a guitar. Either that, or it's completely sterile and has no [B]soul.

    [/B]That said, I had a lot of fun during my heavier years of concert going. Here's as complete a list of every band I've seen as I can muster.

    Tool
    The Melvins
    Circle Jerks
    Lower Class Brats
    Obituary
    Napalm Death
    Morbid Angel
    Today is the Day
    Tiger Army
    Reverend Horton Heat
    Hank Williams III
    Assjack
    Koffin Kats
    Benedict Arnold
    Housebroken
    KMFDM
    Combichrist
    Flogging Molly
    Nile
    Origin
    Hate Eternal
    Arch Enemy
    Slayer
    Hatebreed
    Contorted
    Paths of Possession
    Cannibal Corpse
    Vile
    Exhumed
    Hypocrisy
    Amorphis
    The Faceless
    Warbringer


    That's most of em. Slayer damn near destroyed my hearing. I was front row for 2 and a half hours of feral madness. A twisted contorted churning sea of sweaty bodies screaming with delight. Quite primal, really. Lost hearing in the right side for 3 days. I was about to see a doctor when my hearing thankfully came back. Tom Araya was staring me in the eyes as he played the later breakdown in 'At dawn they sleep'. Every word his eyes got a little wider still.

    The most violent show by far was Circle Jerks/Lower Class Brats. Punk shows are not for the faint of heart. My shit got whipped good at that show. The next morning I was sitting outside in my car before work and I noticed my black flag shirt I wore to the show had a bunch of blood on it. Upon inspecting my wounds I determined that only about half the blood was mine.

    These days I've mellowed out a tad. Been big on Iron Maiden, Swans, Liszt and Handel. Still love death and thrash metal, but totally lost taste for black metal. Never had much of a taste for rap or at all. I don't care how jaw droppingly innovative people try to tell me it is. I just don't go for it. I like some electronic and/or industrial, but like anything else I'm picky as all hell.


    My main goal as a listener is to not be one dimensional. If it makes me come off as a tad snooty, well, whatever, As I said, I just have a pretty good idea of what I like.


    If you were bored enough to read this I hope you found at least some of it fun and/or entertaining.
  5. But seriously....

    Things are getting better. Little by little, I keep peeking a little further out of my shell to see what's around me. I owe this in particular to my friend A. She was in a musical a few months ago at the local Playhouse. They needed someone to work the curtain, pull the drops and move scenery. Somehow, a few months later I'm about to make my stage debut as Moose in 'Crazy for You'! For the life of me I never thought I would be any good at singing and dancing.

    Before my theatre adventure I was depressed, sleeping too much, smoking way too much herb and just being a bum in general. Also, I got a really nice bicycle for my 30th birthday. I blew the engine on my pickup truck about a year and a half ago, so I'm thrilled that I don't have to necessarily take the bus everywhere I go. Granted, my current lifestyle is not without it's limitations. I can only get what I can carry in one shot shopping. Also, people drive like fucking maniacs in FL and I've very narrowly avoided getting run over a few times.

    Aside from that, my life is full of blessings, from my little tuxedo cat to my fiancee who I've known since high school.

    La vie est belle. I knew one day I'd be able to not only say it but mean it as well :suave:
