so anyone around here reading back in 2002 will already know my opinion on NIN’s “still” ep (*ahem* 30 posts in one day when “andallthatcouldhavebeen” was released), but i will repeat in short…it’s one of the best EPs ever. EVER. but having said that, i don’t listen to it a lot. i actually have some odd sort of aversion to it. i don’t really know why. i sort of get flash backs to the drama of my senior year in college, but not completely. and i sort of get into a strange mindset when listening. but i still love it, and think it’s incredible. listened to a few tracks on the drive home tonight and probably will listen to it in bed. i haven’t listened to any NIN since downloading the cabazon boot when i got home from vegas. i threw it in yesterday on the drive home from jackson sanitarium, since it was a long drive where i could listen to “the fragile” discs back to back. thinking about setlists…i could pretty much trade every TDS song currently being played (well not “reptile” but especially “hurt”) in favor of “heresy”, “the becoming”, “ruiner” and “i do not want this”. throw in “mr self destruct” every few shows. that’d be good. take out the behind-the-screen-intermission that now bores me in favor of another instrumental type break like the “la mer”, “the great below”, “the mark has been made” section of the fragility tour (not necessarily those songs, but instrumentals are nice). and i’d do anything to hear “last”. at this point i’d replace any song in the set for “last”. i don’t think i need to hear “dead souls” anymore, and as far as soundtrack songs go i think anyone would die for “the perfect drug” though i’m not sure how that’d translate live…it would still be great to hear. i think i’m good with the PHM songs…for some reason i really can’t listen to that album much anymore. i’d like “sanctified” i guess, if anything. i think i’m done with “something i can never have” now too. it’s amazing, but it can go now. i actually could probably do without “head like a hole” too. not sure what would replace it but that’s not my job. so i really shouldn’t be saying any of this hahaha.

ug, gotta be up early for the clean up. and i totally forgot i have to stay there past 1 to meet with this guy who wants to put together a hip hop compilation (and yes i totally typed “complication”) to benefit central terminal. well we couldn’t be accused of being a white middle class hobby anymore hahaha.

and speaking of complication…heather and i were looking at the art at the show opening wednesday, and i hear 1 note of a song and exclaim “ITS NINE INCH NAILS”…it was “complication”. i was excited. i can name that NIN song in 1 note….hahahahah

and OMG…SABRES! beat ottawa 7-6 in OT. fanfuckingtastic. my pocket was vibrating all night. when the hotel gaming floor bar screamed i knew the sabres tied it at 5…but someone reported it was then 6-5, heard the bar scream again, tied again. then knew we won when they screamed right after overtime started. ha it was fantastic. finally managed to see the highlights on ESPN, connelly makes some fantastic plays man…my mom called after the game to leave me a message that it was “a breathtaking game”. wait til she’s actually AT a game ha.
