Just back from seeing Fuck-off Machete play at Silver Rocket. pretty fucking ace set, i really enjoyed it. I caughttwo other bands beforehand - Silent Front and October All Over. Silent Front were just too screamo for my liking, nary a melody in site, just by the numbers straightfaced noiserock. October All Over were a bit more varied and at times sounding like a nice noised up Superchunk, but overall still not delivering. But yeah, Machete played a good set, very confident and enjoying themselves onstage. Paul has really got a lot more confident in his stage presence and playing, while Natasha and Cal just do their stuff amazingly well. Check out a track at : http://www.highpointlowlife.com/downloads/fuckoffmachete_copperandleadfight.mp3.

too much new music of late as well, especially the past few days. Yesterday i had a melody stuck in my head, seriously took me like 5 hours to work out what it was ... boopidoo doo doo - boopidoo doo doo - then by some weird jungian connection linking i worked it back to being Dr. Dre's Xxplosive. I ended up downloading it from the itunes store, my first legal mp3 purchase. I got the bug and joined emusic for the 25 free download trial period. Damn, i got hooked, upgraded my account today and already i'm out of credit for the month. I downloaded..

Beat Happening - Jamboree
Oval - 94 Diskont
Beulah - Handsome Western States
Madvillain - Madvillainy
Lusine - Serial Hodgepodge

all of them are so good in their own way, its excellent. Oval and Beat Happening i've both previously owned, the Beulah album is the only one of theirs i didnt have, and the Lusine and Madvillain are both new to me. Ah, the Dre track has just come on my itunes, and i gotta go shake my ass before hitting the sack, westcoast shit, nigga, dont tease bitch, guatamala, bitch nigga, more of a bitch than a bitch, punk bitch, all the true gangstas know etc....
