Ministry. God those guys fucking rock. Most amazing fucking show. "Jesus Built My Hotrod" Oh My God! Well, actually Butthole Surfers was more awesome. But the Beastie Boys concert would've been a lot better with better opening acts. Those opening guys sucked. By the way, that Tubes album, Outside Inside the Tubes, is a piece of crap. There are three good songs on it. There are moments of weirdness that is very impressive for their Zappa-esque twists but there's a lot of trype there as well. No wonder the cheap cover (there is artwork on the cover but it's still cheap). Those three songs made it worth the $6 back in tha day, though. I miss lps. Albums came in two, short halves. You had to constantly interact with your turntable to listen to lps. A changer could play a bunch of sides so albums were split up into two sets basically. That required a kind of discipline that has been lost. Well, it could be said that a lot of "electronic" music counts as album sides in each song. But there is still that interaction with the turntable. You played one side of an album and then you had to dance over to the turntable and decide whether to flip the album or stick it in its sleeve and pull another one out. Well, that's what I've been doing tonight and it's very different from lining up a playlist and clicking on play. I'm a bit drunk so this is mostly blathering. www.psychicreform.com Change your mind. "I'm the commander--see, I don't need to explain--I do not need to explain why I say things. That's the interesting thing about being the president. Maybe somebody needs to explain to me why they say something, but I don't feel like I owe anybody an explanation." -- George Bush

Yay for drunken rambling!! LOL I totally agree, Alan. I love LPs... There is a sort-of art to them; they require constant attention. They sound fantastic. Pops and snaps are brilliant. :) -- Brian
