this post is about people...

...and how much i hate them! well, of course a certain misanthropic world view is never a bad thing, but this post is dedicated to a very special kind of retards mentally challenged beings:

people that talk during concerts

i mean, seriously, what the fuck? who buys a ticket to see a band and then talks through the entire gig? could please someone explain to me how the gaping bottomless pits brains of these people are working? if there is any logic behind this behaviour, science has yet failed to deliver proof of it's existence.
those retards ruined so many shows for me, the most important one being godspeed you! black emperor. halfway through the gig (which was, apart from mentioned persons with logorrhea, quite an awesome experience) i had to leave, which i blame on those guys (though the real reason was that i had to catch a ride home, again, public transport sucks! but who cares about real reasons anyway...)

this incident just fueled my utter despise of humanity as a whole (yes, kind sir, i despise YOU as well!) and i kinda promised myself to never see a popular band again. on the other hand, i also promised myself to lose weight and to go on a murderous rampage try and make people rethink their doings, but as so often, i give a fuck about what i promised myself. besides, c'mon you can't just ignore THE sludge-band coming to your town for the first time in...forever, and probably your last chance of seeing them...

anyways, i just wanted to tell you how much i hate every single one of you (especially the ones who talk during concerts! yes, you know who i mean!), and rest assured that if i ever get the chance to push some red button (or whatever color the button for a nuclear holocaust has), i'll not hesitate to do so

this is gonna be a summer...

I know, people will accuse me of grossly exaggerated fanboyism (is that even a word?), but nevertheless,

this summer is going to be HUGE

three of my favorite bands are coming to town, in June that's The Ocean, and in July we have Rosetta and Neurosis.

can't fucking wait!

seeing the ocean live is somewhat of a next to impossible thing. i went to one of their concerts three years ago, but the support bands (bison b.c. and burst, both of which turned out to be quite okay) took so long that after 30 seconds into the ocean, i had to leave the venue to get home. public transport during the week sucks ass!

so last year, they played like three or four shows here, none of which i could see for various reasons. one of them being a A Storm of Light-gig on the same day, and with my brother going to this show there was not much choice left (mainly because i had to stay at his place for the night, and back then i had no idea how to get there). but rest assured, that show was really worth the trade-off.

nevertheless, this year i'm finally going to see the ocean, tickets already bought, and really looking forward to the 8th of june!

when i heard that neurosis are venturing beyond the pond i was truly stunned. my first reaction was disbelief, my second was to frantically jump around cheering (which got me some really weird looks from random bystanders, but, well, screw them!). with isis disbanded just a few months after i've gotten into them, i was afraid, if not to say terrified that neurosis may be next. fortunately, it turns out i'm just a superstitious idiot and i can see THE sludge band, which i'm sure is going to be awesome. as long as peeps in the audience keep their mouths shut (which already ruined godspeed you! black emperor for me. why the fuck can't those retards just enjoy the show?)

the gig i'm definitely most looking forward to going to is Rosetta. heard of this band only a year ago, but it was love at first sight (or listen?) my reaction to them announcing a tour over here wasn't anything like when i learned about neurosis coming here. it was more a strong "is that really, really happening?"-feeling, mixed with overwhelming doses of endorphines, which left me a drooling, babbling idiot (not much difference to my usual state, then). i really hope it's going to be an intimate show, with armine really interacting with the crowd (i hope there won't really be a crowd, the fewer people the better!) i'm already (or still) pretty excited about this, and i can't make up my mind which songs i'd like to hear. for sure i only know revolve (the first rosetta song i ever knowingly heard) and a determinism of morality, both from the ingenious and truly touching latest release (to which the latter is the title song). needless to say i'm going to buy a shitload of merch from them, so they'll come home fiscally even, at least (which is in no way granted for bands like rosetta).

and who knows, maybe they'll remember that crazy, long haired dude with the crappy jokes and the "the beer for the band goes on me" -attitude.

with this in mind,

thanks for wasting your time reading this shit ;)
