I listened to Incubuspretty heavily this past week. I wouldn't call them grunge, per se, but they sort of kick started the current interest.

I'm more about the originaters, or at least around the time of the originaters. Butthole Surfers, Bush (16 Stone era), Lou Barlow, Meat Puppets, Sonic Youth, and those that fall into that kind of sound.]]> the american witch stole my lighter http://www.last.fm/user/groovearmani/journal/2008/01/16/1zpc_the_american_witch_stole_my_lighter Wed, 16 Jan 2008 19:00:44 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/groovearmani/journal/2008/01/16/1zpc_the_american_witch_stole_my_lighter the Rob Zombie concert (last friday) was fan-flippin-tastic. Well, atleast I thought so.
Minus the unbelievably tall people in front of me.
And the loss of my Las Vegas Tropicana lighter. (R.I.P. Chop China! Wherever you are! I hope your new owner treats you well at least, even if they are a thief! ... Yeah apparently cigarettes and lighters were forbidden so they were either chucked or left at the door. Either meeting the same fate it seems. A brand new pack of smokes, gone. Fuck. That was my favorite lighter!)

There was some extremely bizarre, sexually perverse and downright gory shit being played on the big screens behind him. I got so interested in it, I completely stopped watching Rob, hahaha!

And I couldn't tell for sure, but I think his wife Sherri was up on stage as a background dancer which was totally awesome too. And at one point, there was a giant robot dancing around, doing the Michael Jackson "Black or White" dance! Hah!

I almost thought he wasn't going to sing Dragula, but he ended the show with it, so I was like *whew* He opened with American Witch, and played Living Dead Girl, Thunder Kiss '65, More Human Than Human (that's when the robot came out twirling) and some other songs that I'll admit, I didn't know. He did not however, play Foxy Foxy. But I'm OK with that, because he did play Dragula (I waited the entire freakin show to hear it!) and he played for almost an hour and a half which was very cool.

Rob Zombie less than 2 weeks into the new year, oh yeah!

And I may be sans Tropicana now, but Chop China will never die. Never! ^_^]]> 2519 Songs, 7.1 Days, 13.06 gb http://www.last.fm/user/groovearmani/journal/2007/12/26/1zpb_2519_songs%2C_7.1_days%2C_13.06_gb Wed, 26 Dec 2007 05:53:40 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/groovearmani/journal/2007/12/26/1zpb_2519_songs%2C_7.1_days%2C_13.06_gb Sort by song title:

Over a week ago, I got to meet (my current favorite #1 listened to artist of this week) Carina Round.

Still so excited and giddy about this. Her autograph is still lingering on my arm what with the metallic, glittery sharpie she used to scribble all over my right forearm, hehe.

Surprisingly though, Svende's autograph lingered a bit longer than hers did, and his was smaller.

I wanna meet her again! Woo!]]> I made my own meme-thinger. http://www.last.fm/user/groovearmani/journal/2007/07/30/1zp9_i_made_my_own_meme-thinger.
