If you know JAMES, then you know how this feels. If you don’t know JAMES, then what the hell are you waiting for? If you know JAMES but dislike them, well then why not fuck off?

This is from the tour in support of 2004′s “How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb”. Not my favorite album by any stretch of the imagination. I also saw this tour here in Seattle at Key Arena, and i had an awful time. I’ve been going to U2 shows since 1987 and they have all been either good or GREAT, but this one felt contrived, choreographed and pandering. I realize that the haters have been saying that about U2 for decades now, but in the case of this one show, it was true…

15 years ago David Bowie & Trent Reznor thought it would be a great idea if they did a tour together. It wasn’t. I saw the tour in Las Vegas, and unfortunately NIN opened for Bowie, so half of the arena left when Trent did. I felt embarrassed for Bowie, though I stayed as he [...]

After everything, now this! It’s the 30th Anniversary of The Church! (It’s not a religion, it’s just a technique) Hard to believe on some levels, but then again, it’s been so long since I’ve been without them. Thankfully. To celebrate, the band has invited us to the party. Specifically, they are currently touring the US [...]
