Library House Show Cancelled.

You know what? If you like going to house shows where its next to nothing to get in, in someones living room, where everyone is there to get rad and have good time and drink or not drink and smoke or not smoke or get high or hardcore dance,
then DON'T FUCK WITH THE VENUE.
Or the promoter. Or the promoters friends.

And especially, ESPECIALLY not the neighbours.

I'm sick of this shit.

Whether is belligerent minors who drink three beers and start falling into rented P.A. speakers,
or drunk street kids who are bent on out-punking everyone by hating clean pants and smirking at talk of jobs and paying rent.
Seriously?

The kids (non gender/age specific) that put on shows are not trying to fuck with your lifestyle. They are not saying you should dress like them, drink the beer they drink, support the Vegan Reich, eat the right amount of whatever, do the right amount of whatever, or listen to the right amount of whatever.

They just want to put on shows. In a safe, somewhat respectful, somewhat DIY environment.

Spraypainting the neighbours sedan, four door whatever, is not going to help this happen.

So if you enjoy getting shitfaced at house shows and not having to pay ridiculous cover,
and not being asked for a second peice of ID when you show them a passport,
or searched and consequently groped by a creep door guy,
or talked to like a dumbfuck by some jerk bartender,
or having to pay seven dollars for a watered down vodka soda,

then respect the fucking scene, and the people who pay rent for the houses you are about to trash.

Jesus.

So basically I want to make sweet-hot prehistoric love. We both go to a costume shop, you rent some prey type Dinosaur costume, and I'll get a big T-Rex one.

You, innocently, pretend to eat the shrubs in your backyard, when suddenly I come crashing through the bushes!

Your reptilian brain is startled and the 'fight or flight' response kicks in.

Apparently though, you rented one of the dumber dinosaurs, so your brain chooses to instead curl up into a ball and play dead.

Victory is mine!

I slowly approach and begin sniffing your privates.

Are you wet yet?

Been slacking on the updating but who the hell reads this anyhow?

Um, also, I just found out what fan fiction is, and this is either a calling, or reason to be gravely concerned for my social well-being.

No matter how many times I go to RICHARDS ON RICHARDS, regardless of the good bands that play, like FUCKED UP and WHITE LUNG, I can't bring myself to like that venue.
The stage is too high, and the sound is only good in 1/18th of the audience area, so if you're really stoked on the band and want to be right close to the stage, forget about hearing the vocals. Forget about hearing anything other than muted guitar sounds and some drum fills.

Also, the drinks are too expensive. The cheapest beer is a bottle of Canadian for $5.50. Maybe this is cheap for some people, but if you're used to $3.00 bottles, or if you've ever drank in Portland, $5.50 is an abominable amount of money for 341ml of watery alcohol.

Anyhow. The promoter made WHITE LUNG go on way too early. FUCKED UP and CRYSTAL ANTLERS hadn't even showed up yet, and it was 9 or 9:30 when they went on stage. And there were a fair amount of people, but many showed up in between sets. It was 11pm before the giant school bus pulled up and CRYSTAL ANTLERS got on stage.

They kind of sound like a jam band that's gone to a big city and done weird city drugs, danced to weird techno music at weird underground basement raves, then returned to a not-so-big city to record an album. I liked them, and they were nice dudes to hang out with after the show and they let me eat their greenroom hummus.

FUCKED UP was as good as always, especially the first three seconds of the set when Damien attempted to stand on top of a monitor and instead slipped and hurtled into the crowd. Luckily someone was able to save him from serious pain.

I was bummed on the turn out for the show; Taylor even turned to me at one point to state the obvious.

"Man, Vancouver is embarassing."

Because the sound was terrible and the crowd was low energy, thus making the band lower energy, it kept bouncing back and forth until one point when I looked behind me and the floor space was just filled with a big empty gap, with some kids lining the back on bar stools.

They should have played a smaller venue. With better sound, and cheaper beer. Like the Emergency Room.

Or Pub 340, if they weren't into firing people so much.

The night ended with tired eyes, and Nardwuar interviewing F'd Up on their Mormon school bus. Then after tracking down a diesel gas station and driving to some expensive but delicious food at the Naam, it was 4 in the morning. I could barely keep my eyes open long enough to google map out directions to the airport.

You are a shithead Williamson.

SEX VID disrupts Fashion

This article I found (while looking around to figure out if SEX VID was supposed to play Vancouver) and the comments that follow, are the best example of ignorant people trying to make a point on the internet.

"But I have a fashion show coming up, and I have to sew. I just pretend it’s Ozzfest."
