RADIOHEAD TICKETS GO ON SALE TOMORROW

[r00]

I think they are already sold out here.  A friend of mine said he may have an extra ticket for me though.

A friend and I are def. going to Tori this year- she's coming around in early december. I missed her last tour, and i actually really think that the new album is the best stuff she's put out in at least 8-10 years.

I might try to snag Puscifer tx if it's not already sold out. They're playing a much bigger venue this time around- about a year and a half ago I saw them @ Berklee School of Music, which has a pretty small performance hall.

Successfully got w.a.s.t.e. pre-sale tickets for Radiohead. SO EXCITED.

I wasn't sure if I'd get to go or not right up until the morning of, but I got to see the Devin Townsend Project on Saturday.  First time he'd ever played Regina in any incarnation.

I had a great time, as did everyone there, but Devin was clearly having one of the worst shows of his life due to technical problems with his in-ear monitors.  He was an amazing sport about it though, and kept a giant smile on his face the whole time while his roadie Armando tried to deal with things.  The guy's a consummate showman though, and I ended up going with a dude who barely knew anything of Devin Townsend, and he had an awesome time just watching the guy be a class act on stage.  Choice Devin quotes of the evening:

"Jiggle the cord, Armando!!  JIGGLE THE CORD!!"
"Have I mentioned my suit smells like a thousand testicles?"
"So, Regina.  We're not the kind of guys who are gonna make the obvious joke, we're not like that, we're not going to go around like that, VAGINA VAGINA VAGINA VAGINA VAGINA VAGINA!!!"

And then, as many metal songs do, one ended up in a very quiet bridge, and just as Devin was about to sing his quiet part, one douchenozzle in the crowd screams out "ONE MORE SONG".  Devin, taken aback, half-way to belting out a sung note, instead turns to the guy and goes "What?!  Whaddya mean one more song?!  We're still IN THE MIDDLE of a bloody song you twatknuckle!! We were just gonna pack it up right here in the middle and head out back to our cold-as-balls bus, but nOOOOOOOOo, you know what, just for you--what's your name?  Henry?--Ok, for Henry here, we'll keep playing, BECAUSE HE TOLD US TO, OKAY!! ARE YOU FUCKING HAPPY NOW!!"  He screamed all that with a giant smile on his face, which was shared by the entire audience.

Totally awesome show.  Actually went much farther back into the back catalog than I was expecting.  There was two songs off Deconstruction, one each off of Addicted and Ki, and then the rest was all from Ziltoid and earlier.  Great stuff.  Even when he can't hear himself, he sounds bloody awesome.

going to see puscifer in march at a great little theater

was thinking of picking up tickets to roger waters the wall in may for my dad's bday but all the cheaper tickets are already sold out, the least i would pay is nearly $400 for 2 tickets...and it's at the biggest arena in town so the sound would probably be horrible...oh well

[rynne]

I'm taking Mrs. rynne to see the Magnetic Fields in April. Should be fun; we haven't been to a concert together in, god, probably like two years.

[Aaron]

You mean you didn't take her to the Merzbow show?
