Yesterday was finally time for some serious headbanging action once again.
Soilwork @ the 'Szene'
They were among the first metal bands I ever listened to, like, on a regular basis and more than one or two songs at a time.
Seen them the third time now (I think) and am still so very amazed.
Also? They are kind of cuddly. And hairy. The greater part of them, at least.
And I may be a bit in love with their bassist.
Oh bassists of the world, why must you always be so awesome?
Gawd. Evenings like yesterday remind me why I fell in love with Metal in the first place. Sure, the fans look like every mother's nightmare, the bands ditto, the music is loud and fast and aggressive and may sound like nothing but noise to the inexperienced.
But in reality? The fans are the most relaxed guys walking this earth, there are infinite amounts of beautiful melodies hidden in the raging, boiling sea of sounds and generally, whatever wears a beard, long hear and black clothes and looks like its gonna knock your teeth out if you step out of line is actually quite cuddly, friendly and always up for a chat and/or a drink.
You know, some people go to thermae or have massages or whatever - I go to Metal concerts to relax. Seriously, it's like everything that pissed you off suddenly doesn't seem all that important anymore and within minutes it's just you, a couple of fellow-fans and the music. And nothing else.
RL can go kiss your ass. Even if it's just for a few hours.

Threadless is having a Christmas sale.
Naturally, I ordered 5 t-shirts :)
It's like icons - they just keep piling up!

Shocking realisation: kentucka and I have been to roughly 180 concerts in 4 years. EACH. Not combined.
That is a scary number.
But as said above: it's like a tiny little vacation every time. Maybe it's the reason why I'm not that much of a traveller. I like it here and actually, it's a lot more exciting than it seems :D

And since I can't think of anything else, here be the plans for the rest of this week:
Thursday: office Christmas party @ TGI Fridays
Friday: Persistance Tour @ Gasometer (Sick Of It All, Heaven Shall Burn, Terror et al - OMG IMMA GONNA BE D.E.D.)
Saturday: Naca7 @ Mank (+ Vanilla Sky)
Sunday: Oomph! @ Flex (I WILL BE EQUALLY D.E.D. BUT FROM THA SEXY)
Monday: Erm, sleep? Have massive headaches? Sore muscles? Hallucinations?

EDIT: I just found this and it makes me go \o/OMGWTFROFL!
The rules of Torchwood 3 - plus, the occasional additions by various Torchwood members.
Seriously. It's hilarious. How do people come up with this shit? ROFL
Which reminds me... I kinda miss Torchwood :(
