| 20.12.15 01:11 |  | I know I haven't given you a good hashtag longreads piece in a while, and I have multiple and myriad thoughts about tonight's black metal (and The Rope) show but I'm not sure they don't all come out sexist and I'm actually feeling too lazy to write, although I HAVE gotten this far, so...hmmm. OK, quick pastiche of thoughts for you to absorb and/or ignore. Black metal live is a zillion times better than black metal on CD, which I can't be bothered with. Although anything less than a 100% ratio of guys to girls at these shows would be surprising to me, there were plenty of women there. I'm not sure how many of them were there for The Rope, but plenty stuck around for False. Having not bothered to do any research on any band I go see, I had no idea that False's front man was actually, you know, not male. Turns out that black metal vocals sound pretty much the same no matter who's delivering it, but I was....moved to notice that I was way more interested in the gutteral nonsensical vocals I would never figure out in a million years and which only seemed to get in the way of some damn fine instrumentation wow what a long clause...when a woman was doing them. And of course it helped that their average song length was something like ten minutes. Anyway, I never would have gone to this show if The Rope hadn't been on the bill - still trying to figure out just how that happened - and I really DID like Obsequiae and Drona - just not enough to buy a CD. I finally bought two The Rope CDs. I almost played one in the car - I haven't used my car's CD player in years and that streak did not break tonight. How does a lady end up fronting a black metal band, anyway? What do those other five dudes think about all that? I'm sure the Internet could help me answer that one. Black metal vocalizing is probably pretty cathartic, but I don't know how regularly I'd want to do it. Once would probably be enough. How many words is this? 366 - wow, one for each day of 2016. Well...we've blown by 366 now. Press Post. |

Three minutes later, I posted my first status, which read in its entirety: "sleeping" I didn't touch my Wall for almost a year after that, although it appears I at least Friended some other folks in 2007. |
