i fully expected to go to blanck mass at the end of september, but my pay dates get weird when the last day of the month is a monday, and i miscalculated it and got screwed. i'll probably forget this the next time it matters, but when the last day of the month is a monday, the money comes in on the saturday. this is nonsensical, because the money comes in on friday when the last day is a saturday.

i needed to get paid on friday morning to hit the show on saturday night; instead, i got paid at about 3:00 on saturday morning, when the show was just ovver. drats.

i caught fuck buttons open for caribou in 2007 or 2008 and have been keeping a distant eye on them ever since, through various disparate shifts in sound. i'm not sure why they shift their sound so dramatically, but it comes off as throwing shit out there, hoping something sticks.

this is actually kind of generic ebm, and i'm not very impressed by it. however they shift their sound, what i want to hear is that dissonant power electronics head cave - i want to be floored by the noise. it's not here.

this is mostly pretty boring.

i consequently suspect that i may have found the show a little disappointing.
