So I got to see The Hives on Thursday after another dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb day, and I suppose I wasn't wholly in the proper mental state to appreciate it, but I LOVED IT. Here are some pick-chores:
(i had my camera on the wrong setting so i fooled around in IMAGE EDITING PROGRAM and arrived at this picture that looks like it'd be in a punx zine also you can see my ex-roommate sekou's head at the bottom, the bald black dude with the mr clean earring)
Overall, the show was super good. Howlin' Pelle climbed some stairs at One Eyed Jack's midsong and continued to sing. As expected, HE HAS THE BEST STAGE PRESENCE OF ANY BAND'S FRONTMAN THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN, and the rest of the band also seemed like the same charactatures that they depict themselves as in music videos and any other form of media in which they'd appear. A great expenditure of $15.23 + whatever BEERS I bought.
Additionally, I told Tourné that I would make an animated gif of Dr. Matt Destruction, the bassist for The Hives, eating a sandwich, but I got kind of bored with the task of animating a sandwich, and just made these two frame animations of all of The Hives, as they'd appear if they were in an NES game:
NICHOLAS ARSON
CHRIS DANGEROUS
HOWLIN' PELLE ALMQVIST
VIGILANTE CARLSTROEM
DR MATT DESTRUCTION
This is a tiny victory for me in graphic creation.
So it looks like I skipped out on the creation of the Mothra costume again this year, because I got wrapped up in other things. OH! I should be a mummy, like my dearest Caitlin off in Tenny-sea. There's some cool stuff going on in the next week, and I look forward to sneaking out to Frenchmen St. at some point Halloween night to check out the costumes, though I'll have a half-assed one, if anything.
I just ate some corn dogs.
What's up.

Read this if you want to help me out with a cool project I plan for the next PUMPKINs show. I don't know when it'll be, but if you're determined to be at whatever show Pumpkin may have next, please, partake. WE NEED YA.
I'm thinking of writing an EP of smooth R&B jamz that are about various sexually transmitted diseases, that I hope will be hits at the clubs.
