Good Shit

Picked up the latest offerings from A Perfect Circle yesterday (okay... so I'm several months behind... I had to get up on my scotish punk before I could get back to my prog rock). I must say, I'm only somewhat down with eMotive. Yes the anti-war theme is good, yes the cover of Imagine is phenominal, but the rest just kind of seem "okay". The worst of them all is the cover of When The Levee Breaks. I love that song something fierce, and I take great offense to the tragedy done to it. aMotion, however, is fucking awesome. The commentary on the DVD is really good and insightful and the remix album is superb. I really like Danny Lohner's work on that. He was damned great with NIN and he's damned great in the remix seat.

Also picked up the Bill Hicks DVD while I was at it. That's over 3 hours of the man opening your mind to the truth of the world around you. I'll tell you this much, it's one thing to hear the man, it's another see it. You really get a feel for how passionate he was about his material when you see him working it. I was hoping for a bit more variety and possibly some clips of him on David Letterman. I know it costs money to do things like that, but I've got my fingers crossed that another DVD is in the works.

Lastly, ol' Phoeb's helped me change the hair color. I wanted it to be kind of subtle this time since I'm a working man now. It's a cool black color with some blue hints and my natural brown mixed in. It looks pretty good right now, and I'm excited to see it in the sunlight tomorrow after it's been washed a bit. The hope is, it'll look mostly black under shitty work lights, and then when I step outside it'll be like "wtf? blue?" Hehe... I do love me some blue.

Oh... yeah... one other thing. Grocery shopping sucks, cleaning sucks, and the shit they put on the tv these days sucks. Since when did it become acceptable to take a great show like The Screensavers and chop it down into the pile of feces they call Attack of the Show? Fuck that.
