Revolting Pitbull Ministry

I saw Pitbull Daycare, the Revolting Cocks, and Ministry at the SOnar last night. I tripped some major balls, to say the least. Very Rarely are all the acts in a concert so good that you declare that particular performance to be "the best concert you've been to", but last night was the real deal. Pitbull Daycare, the obligatory unkown band, turned out to be a really good metal band. I never headbang before the main act, but this was definately an acceptable exception. Then, the Revolting Cocks and Ministry put on a great show. All three bands really worked the crowd and just made a sweet concert even greater. The fans also seemed to be a lot more into the concert than any other concert I've been to. Thats why I have to say that, even though Ministry wouldn't go into my top 3 bands, it was a "most excellent performance" dnnnnneow *air guitar*

DVD Extras Just Aren't Enough

I got UNderworld : Evolution on the DVD today. Now I love the movie, it has great featurettes of all the stuff you want to know about, like effects, script changes, costumes, etc. One question: Where the hell are the deleted scenes? Was the one perfect movie that had no mistakes or editing done at all? No, because that is impossible. I haven't been this disappointed by a DVD in a while. Last time, it was the original Sin City's lack of any features, but this time it is due to the lack of the one thing a dvd must always have. I consider that subtitles, surround sound, scene selections, commentary, and deleted scenes are parts of a dvd, not special features. That's why its dvd. No one pays 20 bucks for a movie so that it looks good, they pay for the shitton of extras that make the movie rewatchable. I can't believe this DVD doesnt have deleted scenes. On a better note, I'm going to see Ministry in bmore tonight. I cant wait to not be able to feel feelings anymore.

Warnphoria: de-Evolution

Hey everybody, I'm back. I won't go into why I had to delete my page before because it doesn't matter. Just know that I am back. I have decided to come back now, because I have changed quite a bit since last year, not so much in appearance as mentally and morally. I want to talk about music right now. I am into classic rock, hard rock, and industrial music. So I listen to a lot of Zeppelin, Nine Inch Nails, Ministry, Monster Magnet, Pearl Jam and the likes. However, I am starting to get into to some different kinds of music. Thanks to a certain person, I started listening to the Bad Brains, a hardcore band from DC that was active from late seventies through the eighties. The Bad Brains are one of the best bands I've ever heard. Thus, I started to get a little more into punk and harcore, genres I had ignorantly disdained in the past.

This leads up to last week, when I saw Nine Inch Nails for the second time. Two bands opened for them, TV on the Radio and Bauhaus. TVOR was really, really chill. I'm talkin skip work, sit in a lawn chair and drink in the sun all day chill. Bauhaus, though very awkard on stage, had a great, heavy sound in most of their songs. I feel like a year at college has really, to be corny yet serious, expanded my mind. Now that I got that out of the way, be ready for more light hearted posts in the future.
