UPSIDE DOWN

Sure, why not. After shitting blood for a week, 2 days ago i started throwing up blood. So now my eyes are officially the only orifices that i haven't bled from. And who knows, coughing up and sneezing blood doesn't get you anywhere, but bloody tears...That shit might get you put on display in a church somewhere in Mexico next to the taco shaped like Jesus.

No but seriously this does really suck. The doctor says it's probably from the painkillers they gave me, those apparently fuck up your stomach. I think it also might have something to do with the fact that i went to a Gutter Twins show 4 days after the surgery....and got shitfaced. But It was totally worth it! Ow and a special thanks to Roger the bouncer who was kind enough to drive us back after the gig. That was so awesome of you!

Now it's just a matter of using my wolverine like super-regenerating accelerated healing powers to keep it together long enough for my trip to Greece. Only 3 more days!!!

MISFIT LOVE

Last week me and NixX went on a little trip to check out Queens of the motherfucking stone age. And it was awesome. QOTSA is one of those bands that won't ever disappoint...(Maybe I made that sound as if there are lot's of bands that never disappoint...Need I remind you of this lovely evening?) And I loved the songs they played.
Me and mister Joshua Homme have one thing in common: this is our favorite song:

Queens of the stone age - Misfit love live @ pinkpop 2008

I know I have written about this song before, but it's that damn good. Misfit love truly is one of the best songs ever written. And the number one song to hear live (and by hear I mean to lose your mind, shake your ass and get completely fucked up to).

It was really all they needed to play. Don't get me wrong I like their other stuff, I'm just saying that I would love to see a one hour show where they play 'Misfit love' for 45 minutes and then morph that into 'You Got A Killer Scene There, Man...' for the remaining 15 minutes...Maybe play 'Songs for the dead', 'Skin on Skin' and 'Make it wit chu' as an encore...but you know, i don't wanna seem toooo demanding.....
And yes, I'm very well aware this will never happen, primarily because it would be downright SUICIDE!!!. And not just for the band, I'm surprised I have made it through the 6 minute version twice already without collapsing.

BUT GODDAMMIT WHAT A WAY TO GO!

Maybe, one day, in a perfect world. A world where convenience stores sell IV's, it rains Gatorade and we're all on Amphetamines.

A LITTLE LONG TIME

お久しぶりですね。。。皆さん元気？I've been doing ok I guess...just a bit bored, tired, lazy, you know what I'm talking about.

First off, I am very proud to announce to you all that I have slept with NixX for the first time. It was quite a nice experience and I can recommend it to anyone. In fact I'm still a bit shaky. So if you ever happen to run in to her and have the guts to come up and talk to her, TRY! Try like you've never tried before. And come prepared: hit the gym, get that master's degree and win that Grammy. Also don't forget to buy a pair of oven mitts, you're gonna need them.

I found these online sometime ago and i think they're bloody brilliant...lol: 'Sex in her shitty'. Don't forget to check out the 'JHo Booty from the block!' or the`Dirty Christina' variants.

IT'S NOT JAZZ PEOPLE

So last night me and NixX did Danko Jones. I love making lists and that band was high on my 'Bands that will get you on top of a bar in a wet T-shirt whilst shaking hips ' list. Other artists in this catogory include: the Eagles of Death Metal, the Black Keys, the Crystal Method, Thee Michelle Gun Elephant, Muddy Waters and the Hives.

Not only that but the guy is on my cool people list.
But after last night I'm not that sure anymore....

The Crystal Method- Trip like I do

To be fair I hadn't slept since the 22nd which makes it 61 hours and 750 miles without sleep, and maybe I wasn't as drunk as I would normally be . But it just didn't do it for me. It actually made me want to start another list, 'the band with the worst audience list'. And I actually hate those people that bitch about the crowd, I never notice anyone that's not on stage and just get lost in the music. But like I said it could have been my lack of sleep or the low alcohol level in my blood cause the people around me where just really pissing me off.

So like in the center there was this pit going on which is fine but the rest of the place did not move a bit and where actually bothered by it.
And then there was this: Their latest album is called 'Never to loud' right. Well, then why the hell was every single person in there wearing earplugs, before the gig had even started. So you don't want to fuck up your hearing, I get it. But when you cover your ears every time some girls start screaming, you sir are a pussy. I know I can get loud but it's a rock show. And when the person on stage tells me, he can't hear me I'll make sure he'll hear me the second time. So when that sad super glue to the ear incident in front of me started giving me the stink eye every time I screamed after a song. I started yelling right in her ear just for the sake of it.
If you pick covering your ears over letting the band know they're appreciated by putting your hands together, you suck.


The band did work hard though. They really went full force. But maybe a little less talk and a little more playing next time. I love it when bands interact with the crowd but I could have gone without the 10 minute lecture about the air conditioner. Because having a little chat after every single song kinda gets people out of their dancing mood, if there is such a thing at danko jones show. And saying you hated going through a certain country to get here, even though your support act is from that particular country, is I dunno...a bit thoughtless.
And of course the fact that their last album sucks didn't really help either...


So wow...Who would've thought I would ever write something not so positive about a concert, and about Danko Jones even! I feel bad already cause it's Danko motherfucking Jones, but I'm not going to delete this post. So just deal with it.

YEAHYAH!

ONE WEEK AGO I USED MY NEW CREDIT CARD FOR THE FIRST TIME. AND YES NIxX, I AM FULLY AWARE THAT THIS WILL BE THE BEGINNING OF THE END. IT TOOK ME 2 WHOLE VEGETATIVE YEARS TO PAYOFF THOSE 3 MONTHS OF FUN I HAD WITH THE LAST ONE.

BUT FUCK THAT I GOT MY GUTTER TWINS TICKETS TODAY AND I'M GOING ON A TRIP. I COULD JUST GO TO THEIR NEAREST GIG BUT IT'S IN A THEATER...WITH SEATS! AND I DON'T DO NO SMOKING/NO DRINKING SEATS. TELL ME, HOW COULD ANYONE SIT STILL WHILE LISTENING TO THIS?!?

THE GUTTER TWINS- ALL MISERY/ FLOWERS

I CAN SEE MYSELF DOING ALL SORTS OF THINGS IN ALL SORTS OF POSITIONS WHILE LISTENING TO THIS, MAYBE EVEN SITTING DOWN, BUT THEY ALL INCLUDE A CIGARETTE AT SOME POINT.

SURPRISE!

NixX sweety, how was work? Anyways, you better find a white T-shirt and save some beer money cause I've got tickets!

Danko Jones- Code of the Road


Ow and BTW it's a total pain in the ass to get tickets for the Gutter Twins, because of that whole Motel Mozaique bullshit. So I guess I'm just going to have to hitchhike my way to Germany or Greece and go to a show there. I NEED to see them live, you know that right? You've got any ideas? I figured since you used to work in the club manager/booking business you might know some cocks that need sucking...I dunno, just thinking out loud.

SORRY

1. I'm sorry mister train cleaner, I didn't mean to throw up in your train. But if you had cleaned the toilet better I would have used that instead of the floor, really. I realize now that my sad attempt to cover it up with newspaper might have made it even worse to clean up. So sorry mister janitor.


2. I'm sorry tall metallica hoody wearing dude from Wales, I didn't mean to use you as a human towel all night. But to be fair, I did get permission from your friend. I never got your name, probably because I didn't ask. Or talked to you at all for that matter...You have nice friends though.


3. I'm sorry mom, for having no self respect whatshowever and being one of those girls. But please try to understand I only act like that because I have low self esteem. And my therapist told me that you are partially responsible for that...And tits are genetically passed down talents....Anyway, I did it again and I'm sorry.

I JUST WANNA DANCE

Right now I'm thinking of going to the Queens of the stone age, and I have 4 more hours to make up my mind. I have wanted to see this band live for 3 whole months now! (see, that sarcasm is my way of talking myself out of it) No seriously, I've never really been into Qotsa until I saw this clip of them performing misfit love at Henry Rollins.

This right here is the definition of awesomeness....This song feels like techno and I'm hoping some day that 58 minute instrumental version shows up.

I bought songs for the deaf long time ago and liked it but hearing no one knows all day everyday on the radio pissed me of so much, i just thought fuck it. Not only that but those qotsa/eagles of death metal/dessert session/foo fighter/and-what-not fans creep me out a bit. Those people sleep in front of venues and get all massive obsessive and shit, it's just wack.

ANYWAYS

Why not go?
It's sold out (???WTF???) but that's not a problem, I always get in (sounds arrogant but it's true). The problem is I only have about 129,- left for the rest of the month and I will seriously die of liver failure if I get wasted again, which I'll probably be before I even get there. And it took 3 days and 2 seasons of lost to recover from last saturday. (btw, thanks for that NixX, I had a great time)

I have to quit writing now, I need to get dressed...
