one of the few situations in which i might actually enjoy death metal
so yesterday my buddy ariel writes and says, come see this crazy shit with me. he had correctly gauged that the robot factor would get me out of the house-- i agreed.
when the robots had been fullly revealed on stage, i commented that it reminded me fondly of the old wifflefist negativland days.
it really was quite the thing, especially given that its apparently the efforts of one man. well, one man and a large robotic band that hurls insults at him throughout the show. kind of like if you took the torch marauder and put him on speed most of the time. he might come up with something like this.
i have to admit that although he really did rock out, after a few songs the schtick was played out and i was a little bored. add in being kinda tired from my crazy rock-n-roll lifestyle this week, and the astoundingly poor air quality inside kings, and i was ready to roll long before the show was over. still, the final tune, which was done in dancehall style, was kinda worth sticking around fer.
time for the first meeting of the day. probably the first of many.

Dude, that is completely wacky. I would enjoy encountering that for a few songs, as long as it didn't require a lot of driving.

ariel was also wise in that he volunteered to come get me and got advance tickets. so he made it totally painless for me to go :)
we need to start booking stuff like that at the coffeehouse now that it's a going concern.
not, of course, that there's much "stuff like that" out there.
