The Black Rider last Saturday. I'm pretty meh
I've been wanting to check that out for pretty obvious reasons (Burroughs/Waits). Sorry to hear it's kind of meh. Still kinda want to check it out, though.
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

It was a bit much. Often bordering on mime (shudder). But the stage setups were cool and of course the music was great. So many people walked out of it. Many left at the intermission. Rude!
This is probably old news but the rather glorious winners of the Eurovision.
I broke a wine glass toasting their victory.
Lordi won? Holy shit!

One of the members of Lordi looks like a Predator in that picture.
Finland rules!
The country that brought us Linux and Lordi....

so sad. He certainly helped shape the music of my youth.
Back to Lordi, this is a better quality video, plus excellent commentary from the Brits: [link]

I'm a big fan of understatement, but that video needs commentary by Mike Judge: Butthead, it's Gwar! It's Gwar!! Except Gwar was more entertaining. I liked "the rockalypse" but the music was pretty lifeless. I kept thinking they should be singing "Immigrant Song" because a) it's much better, and b) I'd love to see the guy in foot tall boots singing "Valhalla we are coming!"
