Music: The Hand That Feeds by Nine Inch Nails

The Murder By Death show was really pretty great. There was a huge crowd, about the biggest I've ever seen at The Living Room, but I think most everyone was there for the headliners, Against Me!, who I know nothing by. Murder By Death was amazing live, beautiful beautiful music. The chello player made love to her instrument, it was borderline sexual. The singer was really weird inbetween songs. The songs themselves are not weird at all, but his descriptions of them certainly were. He went to great lengths to describe how the songs were about the devil and whiskey and "sweet ass" ghosts. Everything was "sweet ass" in fact. One song was seemingly about kids at a school being eaten by "sweet ass zombies." It was funny shit, it was just so absurd. They played two new songs and I loved them, which is saying something as it usually takes a few listens for songs to really grow on me. I will definitely try to see these guys again when their new album comes out.

edit: Random funny: Christian Movie Review Site Apparently this site reviews movies in regards to Christian principles and gives the G or PG or R rating they believe the movie deserves. The list of violent acts in movies like Sin City can stretch for pages, and they detail each and every one. The section that really gets me is the religious section, where they state how movies go against the teachings of god. The review for The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy really cracks me up when they say that the fact the movie says humans aren't the smartest creatures in the universe is an "offense to God." Another bullet point under "offenses to God" is simply 'Darwinism.' The ridiculous reviews on this site just go beyond any kind of reasonable thought. It's sexually immoral for a man and woman to be in the same bed, even fully clothed, even if they're married. Or so the website would have you believe. When asked about this, the guy writing the site said it's because the actors aren't married in real life. WHAT?!? Urination by a child is listed as "impudence and hate" in the review for the Amityville Horror, as is an adolescent drinking out of a milk bottle while the mother isn't present. In The Matrix, they list Morpheus's coaching of Neo to escape the Agents in the beginning of the movie as impudence and hate because it's "coaching to avoid fair justice." Am I retarded or were the Agents in The Matrix NOT fair or just? Another personal favorite complaint is that there's "Christmas without Jesus" in the Harry Potter movies. Oh good god, I could go on and on with the hilarious examples. If you have a few minutes just go read a few reviews and laugh your ass off. LOL internet, LOL.
