Are you attending anything cool soon? Recommendations on past things you've been to?
DIMMU BORGIR! Oh MAN, would I love to see what a Dimmu Borgir concert is like... I'll admit it, I bought one of their CDs back in the day. I don't listen to anything death metal like either, but seeing a Dimmu event would definitely leave you with some stories to tell. You gotta let us know how that goes.
I did however see Arch Enemy once. They opened for Iron Maiden. They are unique in their own way as they have a female death metal singer. Fucking ridiculous (and not necessarily in a good way) but entertaining none-the-less. Iron Maiden was amazing also...even though they are pushing 50's.
Lately, it has all been clubs and dance events for me. I gotta say, even if you are not into electronic music when that bass completely invades your chest cavity and you can't help bouncing around the room because it is so loud and so in your face it's fucking fun as hell. For anyone.
Basically any hopping club will rock you the fuck out. As long as there are head lining electro thumping, ass kicking, bass blasting DJs the joint is going to slam.
Radiohead at MSG was amazing as well, even though MSG is an acoustic shitbomb.
But yeah, I just see a lot of DJs basically and probably ones not so many people have heard of if you are not familiar with the scene. To name a few...I've seen Paul Van Dyk, Dj Hype, Freestylers, Pascal, Potential Bad Boy's, and Gabriel and Dresden. Paul Van Dyk has this FANTASTIC even every year in Central Park. Made Event puts it on and it is usually in mid August. I am going again for the third year in a row this summer. It is going to be most excellent.
I love events, so much fucking fun.
Flash Time
I can talk about Flash too...
What is the longest any of you have worked on a single project? Of course, working on something off and on delays process quite a bit, but if you shorted it down to constantly 5 out of 7 days a week of really work what would you say?
