skins, crystal castles, NiN fans and homeless one-liners
I watched 2 full seasons of skins over the past couple days, and its pretty good. I'd say check it out if your into british swearing, drug/alcohol use, fornication and good music.
Last night I went to crystal castles who opened for nine inch nails. I dont like nine inch nails very much and only recognized 2 of the songs, but they did have a cool light show. The sad part was that the people barely cheered for crystal castles. I mean the whole friggin saddledome was packed, and me and one other friend had to start every cheer. Calgary people make awesome bands feel bad, hence why cool bands dont like coming here. But regardless, its always fun to see your favorite bands playing live to see how tall they really are. (Always over 6-feet)
Anyways, CC ended up doing like a 6-7 song set, where alice glass the singer even apologized to the crowd, which made me feel so bad for them. Calgary sucks. I can't blame everybody too too much, cause nine inch nails is pretty generic, and CC is an underground dance band, but they could have at least danced a little to humor them. Don't just stand there and stare at them like idiots.
On that note, Nine inch nails fans all look like this.....It's like your generic dude. Always with a hat, sunglasses, those stupid mid 90's converse shoes, a t-shirt with a band logo or non-funny catchy phrase, shorts and opposable"truck". They don't talk much, think they're better then everyone, make asshole comments, have one syllable names like "Joe" or "Dave" and have eventually get forearm tattoos that is rather some black cross symbol or a phrase like "Live another day". They also always have girl friends that they don't look like they deserve. So I went to a concert full of those guys. But lets move on to a lighter note. Homeless people :)Homeless People are found through-out the earth, and with that, their catchy lines to try and get you to toss some coinage. Some of them will do the long drawn out life story, and those i'm not so easy to give up dough to, but a select few have created the right set of words to get me going. So what is your favorite homeless line?
Even just last night, i was approached by one who said "Could I trade ya a fine for a wheel?" I mean its not bad; cause at least it gets you thinking, "huh?" and that right there alone is worth the 35 cents. There was one I heard that was like "I have 47 cents, how much do you have?" This was key, because the homeless man set out a challenge for me, and one that I was forced to succeed at (therefore giving him 50 cents). What a smart guy.
The moral here, is don't give money to the homeless unless they make you think "what the frick?" in the process, and that includes not being able to understand what they said to begin with.
I drank alot, and want to sleep. Goodbye

Well that'tll do-er folks
Dance music is here for now, but the death of indie rock has come.
Remember when bands like bloc party, the shins, dfa, deathcab and metric were the biggest shits out? like 2004. I remember those good ol'days.
well now its the middle of 08' those bands have washed up and it seems as though Djs/bands Justice, Crystal Castles, MGMT and MSTRKRFT have taken over. (as well as the growing trend to remove vowels)
anyways the reason this is a final big deal is the only idol/savour i had left for rock and roll "sebastien grainger" has recorded new dance tracks and has become a DJ himself, most likely ditching his current stuff in the process if this new stuff succeeds (which it will)http://hypem.com/artist/data+feat++sebastien+grainger
question lingering though is whats next? cause word on the street is that dance will be out by 10'
maybe rap will make a come back, or maybe some crazy future ambient space music like gary numan was making back in the day. Anyways, ittl have to stay pretty H-core, so the hipsters still have a reason to wear ripped jeans. Personally I really hope disco returns :D

starcade! and lies!
As much fun as it is to laugh at awkward teens, corny 80s fashion, and hilariously dated parting gifts, there’s something genuinely compelling about Starcade. There’s no denying that the thick patina of nostalgia that coats Starcade informs much of my appreciation, but it’s also a pretty solid game show on its own terms–interesting contestants, a host that keeps the game moving, and stakes that you care about. I was seriously crushed when a contestant flubbed his chance to win a Tron arcade machine in the final round of one episode.
Most importantly, it’s not condescending, treating video game competition seriously, but without trying to elevate it with comparisons to pro sports, or drowning it in marketing nonsense. I simply cannot imagine Starcade existing today without energy-drink endorsements and radically challenging on-air personalities.
So yeah, I highly recommend you spend your weekend working your way through all of the episodes of Starcade that are available on the official Starcade website–believe me, it’s not hard. If you need me, I’ll be killing you.
