jenn reminded me tonight that i am still waiting to hear whatever it is James has to say to me, that he’s wanted to say since halloween. usually when you have something to say to someone you try to do it in a timely manner.
in other news i got to hang out with josh/curious george for a half hour in my car in the parking lot of a gas station on friday. hahah. oh david, i’m supposed to tell you josh climbed his way into TS this summer. he said you’d be so pissed cuz you hate him.
they made a movie about the Zodiac killer. initially i was really excited because Zodiac is my favourite serial killer. but then i remembered the last movie i saw about a famous serial killer – Summer of Sam – and how absolutely terrible it was. i hope Zodiac is better and not one giant 5 hour cocaine orgy.
thinking about this nin viral marketing campaign for year zero….a concept album…and somehow i think this term has a different meaning this time, than when “concept album” was used to describe The Fragile.
and i’m getting more and more scared of it. cuz…styx did a 1984-esque concept album. and we got domo arigoto mr roboto. and then we have the queen musical “we will rock you” – “The time is the future, in a place that was once called Earth. Globalisation is complete! Everywhere, the kids watch the same movies, wear the same fashions and think the same thoughts.” – but it’s fucking Queen who never ever took themselves seriously. they used imagery from Metropolis – yet another 1984 esque storyline – in their video for Radio GaGa. what else would you expect from them? (so looking forward to it!!)
what if trent went completely nutso on us, and comes out with this wack ass piece of shit concept album. what if when he finally starts playing songs from the new album we get this lame-o almost musical production. like…none of this fits into what i think of as nine inch nails. not like it really matters but, if this album isn’t amazing, he’s going to get totally trashed in the music world…i think the whole thing is weird, because with teeth was so much more accessible than the fragile, and i think he got some new fans because of it, and now some weird concept album about future world with all this 1984 type nonsense….as far as concept albums go, me thinks it really needs to be on the level of The Wall to be taken seriously. i dunno. i just dunno. call me a heretic. won’t be the first time 🙂
or this could be completely meaningless, and just due to the fact that any new nin album scares me. i was scared about with teeth too. what if i don’t like it?
and if we want to be totally lame about it omgz!!!1! my nickname on interference.com used to be opal!!!!!!11!!
with this whole thing i’m just like…so what? alex, i’m curious as to what you think of it all
and now for something completely different…
i had been planning on going to the mall tomorrow to shop for the trip, but we got a nice 6 inch blanket of snow, with more to come tomorrow so now i’m not sure. may just go down the street to carl’s and get a tattoo. i should have done it today when i drove by but i didn’t for some reason. whatever.
