Oct. 23rd, 2003 12:06 amIt's midnight and I have to write two papers. Dammit.
I will not read the episode four reactions. I will not read the episode four reactions. I will not read the episode four reactions.
I just got back from seeing Marilyn Manson. (Very unfortunate that the show coincided with a night that two papers are due. But I bought the tickets months ago, so nothing I could do.)
Anyway, it was fun. I felt old. I didn't know anything after Mechanical Animals--did you know they had two new albums since then? And Twiggy's gone! That's terrible! But he got replaced by Tim Skold, who sings my favorite KMFDM song ("Anarchy") so that's okay I guess.
All their new stuff sounds the same, and was kind of loud and annoying. But the old stuff was great--they played "The Beautiful People," "Sweet Dreams," "Great Big White World," "The Dope Show," "Tourniquet," "Rock is Dead," and hey, did you know they covered "Tainted Love"? And they closed with "Irresponsible Hate Anthem" which is one of my favorite songs, so yay! I still think "Antichrist Superstar" is one of the best records of the nineties.
The mosh pit was pathetic. I was in the second row and only one body surfer even came near me. Sheesh. I remember when you'd spend the whole time at a Manson show ducking body surfers. The enthusiasm just wasn't there anymore.
But it was easy to get up front, which was nice. I was there with my old friend April, who I know from Uranium 235 shows way back when. It was wonderful to see her again; she's awesome. So we hung out and chatted a lot before and after, which was cool.
Also, I had one drink (a something bay breeze ... I forget) and I think I'm a little drunk right now. These words are kind of hard to type. That's not good. Must write papers. No reading LJ. No reading lists. No updating websites. Must write papers......
