Sat 11 Dec – Speedfest 2010

Je neemt een kolossaal gebouw, pleurt er een gemengde meuk aan harde bands in en laat de tap stromen. Het recept is zo simpel dat het je verbaasd hoe vaak het volkomen verkloot wordt. Niet door de lui van Peter Pan Speedrock op wiens feestje we aanwezig waren.

Mijn lievelingetjes:
ANTiSEEN eindelijk eens gezien, eigenlijk was de zaal te groot voor ze, het is toch wel de bedoeling dat het bloed van Clayton je in de ogen spat. Verder helemaal fijn. Lomp geluid, lompe band, lompe zelfkastijding. Waar suicidale blackmetallers een scheermes of glasscherf gebruiken, neeemt deze massieve southerner slechts genoegen met een honkbalknuppel omwikkeld met prikkeldraad. Zei iemand anale sex? The Devil's Blood zeker toen de stem luid genoeg werd gezet en je de zangeres zelfs kon horen !! Wat ik ergens las - dat publieksparticipatie 'pivotal' was- ging aan mij en de rest van het publiek voorbij. Maar mooi was het wel. …

1. This is an ever-growing list of bands and albums I am searching for. Much like the 'haves' journal, not all of these artists are current residents of the area, but all of them have called the region home at one time or another.
2. This list will never be completely up-to-date, as there are so many musicians that have come out of the area and have released albums with multiple bands. I've also chalked it up to a near-impossibility that I will ever get all of these, but I can try.
3. I'm open for almost all types of music. If you have something you may not see here, don't let that keep you from speaking up about it. The only types of music I make a general rule not to track down are those who lean more towards a sound of rap rock/nu-metal (downthesun, 8 degrees, Canvas), bar band/classic rock/hair metal/general guitar wankery (Puddle of Mudd fits into the bar band category, the others I don't care to list examples for), or bad rap (Tech N9ne, countless others).

Groan...here is the incredibly ubiquitous Last.fm journal game of insulting your top 20 artists. I'm bored, and I needed somewhere to use the journal title. =P

I actually mean some of these things, but not all. XD Rated G. Yeah, right. Haha.



1. Propagandhi
Hey, Chris. Remember when I was looking for a blank page in my notebook for you to sign, and I said something about how there was a lot of Propagandhi-inspired writing in there, and you were like "I won't read it, then"? What the fuck was that all about? Asshole.

Hey, everyone in Propagandhi. You are not "progressive thrash". You are a fucking punk band, albeit perhaps less "straight-forward punk" than before---punk nonetheless. You can pretentiously make fun of the declining punk scene all you want, but that's what you are. Deal with it, bitches.


2. Jucifer
Okay, so we've got metal, sludge, indie rock, pop, hip hop, punk...please choose one. …
