Right, so I was going to update yesterday, and I was going to update earlier today, but stupid nobody had stupid posted any stupid KMFDM pictures to stupid steal borrow.
Also: Hot. So hot. And you know what the worst thing is? When it's the weather that wrongs you, there's no revenge to be had. This upsets me, somehow. I mean, I could stand outside and shake my fist at the sky, but I doubt it'd make any difference, and I'd probably get sunburned and ruin this practised pallor thing I kind of had going there for a while.
Does anybody know a good rain dance...?
*hugs the airconditioner*
So, in conclusion, KMFDM.
OMGSQUEEYAYEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!1!
Teensy disclaimer: all the pictures I've put here are stolen. I have this horrible thing where I always forget my camera, so other people's photos have to do. Um, if they're yours, let me know and I'll take them down...
FIRST THINGS FIRST:
This isn't from the Melbourne show, because everybody's pictures of Sascha SUCKED... *is bitter*

I really wasn't into as much of their music as I usually am for bands I see live, but there's so much of that music, and I've liked pretty much everything of theirs that I've heard, and OMGKMFDMarefinallycomingtoaustraliaafter20yearsofnot(!!) so I absolutely had to go. Of course.
And I liked them very much. The end.
No, really, I don't know what to say about them except that they were really, really, really good, and intense and LOUD and tight and rocking and yay.
Man, my ex-music lecturers would fail me three years after finishing their subjects if they saw this attempt at a review. Blaah. I suck.
So yeah. Pictures, instead. Go me and my... uh... leet communication skillz.

So this is totally taken by someone standing right where I was standing. I had an awesome view, and wasn't crowded at all. Right next to the stage, but against the wall. It was brilliant. I think this might become a permanent thing. :)
Man, how cool is Lucia? And all of them? Rawr. :P (I believe it is bad form to speak of a band like KMFDM in such a way, but I fear that years of fandom have corrupted me in this sense. Bah. At least I wasn't slashing them, like I was with Covenant)
'Nuff said.
Yep. And I searched so hard for a picture with Sascha with the cigarette and the sheer coolness, but alas no. Such a thing does not appear to exist, which is terribly odd, given how much of the gig he spent with one hanging out of his mouth.
But it was a really good night. So many people were there, like
chilung and
mudshovel and RedCoat!David (who I studiously managed to avoid), a girl from my maths class who I had no idea liked KMFDM (!), and aboutamilliongoths, and Rockstar!Ben and Anthea and Dave and Sophie, which was... vaguely weird. But still kind of good.
Yeah. And I have to be careful about what I say, because someone has been reading my LJ, and being vaguely offended that there is little bitterness directed at them.
Oh, and yeah, on a totally unrelated topic, and before I forget: OMFG THAT ROCKSTAR!BEN ISNT HE LIEK SUCH A LOOOOSAR LIEK OMG IM SO GLAD I DONT C HIM ANYMOR & LIEK HE IZ TOTALLY TEH SUKK!!!1!
Is that OK? Do you not feel left out anymore? Aww. *pets*
Just, because, y'know. Apparently there's something to be bitter about. *shrug* Good to see people are still alive, though, even someo f the ones I didn't think would be by now... :P
But I wish I could have seen the Dresden Dolls last night. That (on top of KMFDM) would, like, totally have made my whole year.
I'm sick of my icons and want new ones but can't be bothered until I can afford a paid account. Or two. Or something.
There was something else I wanted to say, but I don't remember what it is, and somebody's watching Troy, which sucks, except for the thing where they're so totally cousins. *cough*
Totally.
*shifty eyes*
