Another pointless update that nobody cares about...YAY!!
So, I haven't really updated this thing in forever. I could says it's because I've been busy, but that would be bullshit. I've really just been a lazy bitch who usually can't be bothered to do anything more productive than reading her summer reading books. By the way, all of these books suck pretty bad, which is kind of a bummer. But, my dad says that "The Metamorphosis" (the book I'm reading for my research paper) is really good and ultra trippy, so maybe that won't suck so much.
I have actually managed to get off my lazy ass and go to some shows this summer. I saw Peaches/Bauhaus/NIN on the 1st, and it ruled. I thought one of the guys in Peaches' backing band was hot, only to find out that it was JD Samson, who's in Le Tigre, and is a woman. Oops. But like Meghan said, she is a really hot guy, lol. Bauhaus was also awesome. Peter Murphy still works the over-dramatic, slightly gay vampire performance style, despite the fact that he's pretty old and has grey hair and a bald spot. But, he has one of the most amazing voices in music, so he rocks no matter what. NIN was absolutely amazing, as usual. Peter and Trent did a duet on the song "Final Solution" and I melted into a pile of goth-girl goo. Also, is it just me or did Jordie White (Twiggy Ramirez), who plays for NIN now, get a hell of a lot hotter after he stopped hanging out with Marilyn Manson and grew his eyebrows back? Anyway, I almost didn't get to go to this show because my mom thought it was too hot to be outside for that long, even though NIN is her favorite band. Is she getting old or what? She's lucky she has me around to force her not to be lame.
I also went to see Nightmare of You/Dillinger Escape Plan/AFI (cue obnoxious squealing). Nightmare was pretty generic and boring, but they weren't really that bad of musicians, so hopefully they'll learn how to write songs that don't suck soon. I felt really bad for them because the were so out of their element, so I made sure to clap a lot. Dillinger was insane and sounded like a bomb going off. It was awesome. AFI were, of course, amazing on levels that most people wouldn't even understand. They are seriously one of, if not the, best live bands I've ever seen. I really don't have the energy or attention span to type out all of my insane fan-girl ramblings here, but if you ask me about it, I'll fill you in on all the details. I'll even throw in a few crazy "omigod" noises, just so you get the full effect. All in all, AFI's awesomeness totally made up for all the bullshit and stress I had to endure leading up to the show.
