Hello Reader(s)
It may be a little late but . . . Halloween weekend I attended the Vegoose 2007 festival in Las Vegas Nevada. This was by far the longest I've ever traveled to go see a show. (that is if you don't count DJ Mitsu in Japan, but I was living there, and traveled approx six miles) The highlight of the show was Rage Against the Machine. I was delighted to be able to yell the lyrics to "Bomb Track" but appalled to hear DeLaRocha edit Guerrilla Radio. I want to be able to scream disparaging things about Americana in front of Suburban America! But alas, it was not meant to be. Seeing Morello play guitar solos really made my day. I feel like I can die a happy girl. For a man whose favorite songs include labor union songs never meant to be played . . . that man sure can play! It's great to be able to openly and notoriously enjoy Rage. I was hiding tapes of their music in high school. You were kinda a hippie if you liked them in college. Now they're considered "classic." But when did they get so cool?
Other notables: Muse and the Public Enemy v. Cypress Hill DJ Battle.
Notable for a different reason: The Shins. someone on stage kept on making this crazy dinosaur noise like a raptor zeroing in on its prey. Also Flava Flaaaaaaaave!
