Better things to do..
I’ve been to Munich for a Sick Of It All show yesterday. Those guys are quite amazing. 20 years and still kicking. None of this Tough Guy attitude you’ll see at most hardcore shows, just plain, feel good spirit. Stretch Arm Strong supported, I saw them for the first time and quite liked them, although, if I got it right, there was some “dedicated to our troops” babbling before one song..
The other two bands playing that evening were Crushing Caspars from Germany and Amen from the states, the later looking like some really troubled bad taste fashion whores or as a friend put it: “The singer looks like a bad rouged mixture between Marilyn Manson and Glen Danzig, just fatter”. Well, so true. But if you didn’t look at those guys, the sound wasn’t that bad at all.
On Friday, Bright Eyes and The Faint are playing at the Ulmer Zelt. I already secured my ticket and well, it’s a whole new indie-world out there. First preparations for the Melt! Festival..
Enough for now, in case you haven’t noticed, it’s summer, finally. There are way better things to do than to hang around a computer, that is, if you don’t own a notebook.. thinking about it, the Powerbook’s screen isn’t bright enough to compete with our sun anyway.
Random trivia:
Cut off my dreads last week. Seven years of cultivating those things and they were gone in seconds. But honestly, it’s a whole new feeling. Awesome, great, light, easy, flexible, fast-dry, cushion-feeling and I don’t know what else.. errrr. Maybe I post some before-after pictures some time.
