     No, but I'm listening to Halleluhwah by Can. Sounds like Chameleon by Herbie Hancock, actually.

Eh, beyond Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream, and the occasional Cluster, I haven't heard the genre. I'm biased towards the extreme electroni portion, but it is funky, so I can dig it .

     I don't really listen to electronic music, unless you qualify musique concrète as such. Even then, it's hardly anything.

Eh, kinda. On those bands its kind of a song-by-song basis.

Great news! Rush is coming to the Auburn Hills Palace! I might be able to go, but I'd have to bring one of my parents along with me, and with one of the pair, that would not be good.

I saw Rush on the Vapor Trails tour. You won't be disappointed, they are incredible live.

Unfortunately, they never come to Hampton Roads.

Just on Saturday I bought "Working Men" which apparently is the best of Rush live. It includes a bunch of stuff from I think Rio and I think from the Netherlands or somewhere like that.

You know Cathcon you have talked about hating emo but you seem like to complex guitar and drum work so I wonder what you think about this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqS5Fo9j7BA

Just came back from a Crystal Castles show. Pretty sweet. Alice Glass is a great performer.

If FallenMorgan were here he'd probably run after you like a little puppy.

I tried to take a picture of her, but it came out blurry on my iPhone so I gave up. The friend I went to see the show with and I both agreed that she'd be pretty cute if she didn't intentionally act so weird.

[Dr. RI, Trustbuster]

I haven't seen anyone put up the best song ever yet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CD2LRROpph0

Currently number 75 on iTunes as well.

I'm going to see them tomorrow night... glad you enjoyed it.

Anyone else listened to One Last Wish, Guy Picciotto's band in between Rites of Spring and Fugazi? I just finally did and while nowhere near as good as the other two it's still a very solid album.

[TheDeadFlagBlues]

Any Kanye West fans here?

I got back from a Crystal Castles show at Terminal 5 a few hours ago. Pretty interesting. I may write a short reaction later.

I wonder if FallenMorgan has ever actually gone to one? Probably not, I guess.

[Eraserhead]

So basically Crystal Castles were a lot of fun live although I did have a few problems with the show overall. Firstly, the two opening acts SUCKED. They just seemed like pretty generic DJs. Maybe if I was high or drunk I could have got some enjoyment out of their sets but I was 100% sober at this show. I really wish I showed up at the venue a lot later than I did. This is also true because CC took forever to come out on stage. There was literally almost an hour between the last opener and their set.

So then they finally come out and Alice Glass is on crutches because she recently broke her ankle and was apparently told by a doctor not to even play these shows. Yet she still managed to hop around the stage like a maniac and actually crowd surfed at a few points during the show. I gotta give her some points for that. I also thought it was really cool how Ethan Kath played guitar, keyboards and sang during parts of the show in addition to the electronic mumbo jumbo... made it feel more like a real band. The drummer was good too.

I did think it was kind of odd how they ran through most of their well known songs in like the first 20 minutes of the show. Most of the stuff sounded really good but their second encore, which was a reworked version of the originally awesome "Untrust Us", didn't really work for me. It would have been nice if they played a little longer too... their set was only about 70 minutes (not much longer than the gap between them and the second opener). Overall, still a good show.

Good news:
I'll be going to an Alice Cooper concert this summer and possibly a Rush concert next month!

I saw Alice Cooper a few years back (2004 I think). Pretty entertaining stage show, for sure.

I missed the Alice Cooper/Rob Zombie Halloween show last year, I was pretty upset I missed it. I would love to see him.

Whoa whoa, what? 70 minutes? That's way longer than most sets I've ever seen. I think the longest I've ever seen was this post-rock band that might've approached 90 minutes. I remember reading about this hardcore band that played for three hours at their last show and apparently set up some sort of record.
