we had some good machines but they don't work no more
to sound like a dumb fan, especially of my friends'/mentors' band, I saw ego likeness play in DC last night and it was awesome. granted, I've seen them play a whole lot, since I used to do their lights and photography, but still. mostly because they covered 'faded flowers' by shriekback, and when I was like 16-17 I heard their old band [seraphim gate]'s cover of that song and fell in love with the song, bought the shriekback album. I liked the seraphim gate version better. but it was a crappy recording.
and so they played faded flowers last night as ego likeness. and I was filled with joy.
anyway.
it was weird being at a goth club again. I usually prefer punk shows, not because I prefer punk music [no offense to it, but I dont] but because I prefer DIY spaces and shows. I feel more connected to people in some loft or warehouse or whatever somewhere where I know I can get in without paying if need be cause its not about the money. of course, I'm also much more likely to have malt liquor spilled on me at DIY shows. I heard about some kids in SF who were trying to start a goth/industrial night at a DIY space for this very reason, but I never heard about how it went.
