MOVIE/SHOW NOTES
- I watched the old noir "Turning Point" not the 70s ballet "Turning Point" that my mom loves
- Wow "Meet The Feebles" would be a really fucked up, disturbing movie even if it wasn't starring only warped Muppet-esque creatures...the song at the end, "Garden of Love"....an evil classic
- "Plan 9" wasn't nearly the piece of shit I thought it was gonna be, it wasn't great but I feel like I've seen movies from that era that were way stupider and poorly filmed that are seen as classics now
- Now "The Day Of The Animals" and especially "Frogs," those really do deserve their worst-of-all-time distinctions purely for being too boring even to laugh at

MUSIC NOTES
- New releases from Amon Amarth, Crab Legs, Zomby, Thy Art Is Murder, Chance The Rapper, Misery Ritual, Allegeon, Castaway, Rubicon, The 1975, Patti Smith & Co, Dogs, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
- The soundtrack for "Spawn" was so much better than the movie itself...the remix of "For Whom The Bell Tolls" is like the best track in Metallica's entire catalog, not to mention the stellar "No Remorse (I Want To Die)" collaboration between Slayer and Atari Teenage Riot or Orbital and Kirk Hammet's "Satan":...badass all around and has aged well with time surprisingly
- "Down on the Upside," much like its title, is a very internally confused and contradictory record, and not necessarily in a good way
- Favorite "new finds" of the month: Crab Legs, Mars Moles, Thy Art Is Murder, Allegeon, Castaway, Rubicon, Takemitsu
- Luscious Jackson is much like The Verve Pipe in that they really only have like 2 good songs but somehow milked a semi-successful 90s rock career for a couple years before being justifiably forgotten by everyone
- "Master of Reality" is by fat the best Christian Rock record ever made
- That 90s Prince album kinda sucked
- Prophets Of Rage doesnt live up to the sum of its parts but honestly what was to be expected
- Although my acoustic project is nothing like any of the artists they work with, Dead Ant Records put my cover of "I Remember" by Deadmau5 & Kaskade on their awesome compilation...Check it out at deadantrecords.bandcamp.com and check out their other artists as well its cool, diverse stuff
- "Be Here Now" would have been alot better if every damn song wasn't 6 minutes long
LIVE
9/3/16: Chromeo/Mimi Zulu @ Del Mar Fairgrounds
9/17/16: Castaway/Life Moves On @ Awakening Church
9/20/16: Safe & Sound/Born Guilty/Modern Love/Frustrated/Slow Decay @ Awakening Church
9/24/16: Black Sabbath/Disturbed/Megadeth @ San Manuel Amphitheater (Ozzfest)
LIVE NOTES
- Holy shit Chromeo fucking killed it, one of the best sets I've seen in awhile. That main singer dude can really wail on guitar, for real those dudes are underrated as musicians. Even if you're not too into their style of music, if you have a chance to see them live, take it. They are great. "Old 45's" is still like my #1 song right now.
- I missed the first 2 bands of that Awakening show unfortunately
- During Frustrated's set I apparently knocked into a girl and a bunch of people got in my face and a bunch of other people had my back but I interviewed the singer of the band who watched the whole thing and said the people getting pissed were the ones in the wrong so there's that...but it almost got gnarly up in that church
- I fucked up and missed almost all of Ozzfest but I bought my ticket for Black Sabbath and they did not disappoint. Just amazing, better than I was expecting it to be by a longshot. They might be old as fuck but they put on such a good show. For the first time I was one of the firepit people in the crowd and as toxic as those fumes are, it was quite the experience
