We will be giving away tickets to see NITZER EBB at SLIM’S on Wednesday, November 18th.

20 years ago, Trent Reznor took advantage of his position as a handyman and janitor at a music studio to record and develop his own music. He played most of the instruments himself, and sequenced it all on a Macintosh Plus. The end result was ‘Pretty Hate Machine’, the album that introduced emotion and catchy riffs to industrial music, and introduced industrial music to a whole new audience. Reznor would go on to become THE voice of the 90s, noisily aggressive and coldly detached, and tortured by betrayal and self-obsession. His influence can be heard in virtually every electro-industrial act that came after him.
In April of 2009, Trent Reznor announced that he was retiring Nine Inch Nails, possibly for good. But we can’t expect him to stay quiet for too long. He has recently released a series of video “jam-sessions” with Bauhaus frontman Peter Murphy, covering influential tracks like Joy Division’s ‘Atmosphere’, the Normal’s ‘Warm Leatherette’, and Lou Reed’s ‘Nightclubbing’. And Gary Numan has announced that he will be working on new music with Trent Reznor next year. NIN is dead – long live Trent Reznor and his incredible music and passion.
Strangelove is every first Friday at the CAT CLUB (Folsom and 8th). With different themes and guests every month, there’s always something new and interesting at Strangelove.

I made a Halloween picture!
It's all sorts of things, pencil, gold paint, vellum drafting paper, burned butcher paper, and pressed leaves and flowers from a tree in my neighborhood, I don't know what kind it is.
I just had to snap this picture of it, my computer died so I don't have the scanning software or any sort of photo editing programs at my disposal at the moment. You can't see a good bit of the face detail because of the flash, but it's better than nothing. I threw the concept together pretty quickly so I'm actually relatively happy with how it turned out.
Yay for Day of the Dead!
I was up at 4:30am this morning to get to work at 6. eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee >__< But it's all good, I still like it better than my last job.
I'm really appreciating my Silk Oolong tea right now, it's buttery and rich, like eating a meal with every sip! It stands on it's own but it also goes great with savory and spicy foods, I now understand why Chinese restaurants always serve Oolong teas with their meals.
There's a little white rabbit hoping around at my feet.
That reminds me of this picture I found recently, I love it!
Brood Parasite by leaunoire.
I actually think it would be even better without the girl in it.

For those of you who know Paige and Badger - they, along with mates Thomas and Gavin make up the band called After The Apex.
They will be performing this Friday, Devil's Night, at Blake's in Berkeley! This is their second live performance since the dissolution of Black Snake Moan.
And, apparently there is a theme to the night at Blake's...zombies!
Come on out and support your friends! Support local music! Get your metal on! Tell those bitches to hurry up and get in the studio so they can take down those damned demos from their myspace page!

More Stuff!
I LOVE this new dress I bought from my work! So classy!
And here are a few more dream homes from HomeSweetHome:
Antiquarian design is obviously my thing right now, but it can be challenging because most good quality antiques are expensive and we're a budget, which is an understatement. So I'm trying to stick mostly to the found object, naturalist antiquarian theme, which fits me better anyway. Poet's fancy furniture has certainly given us a good start, he has some nice pieces; columns, fancy couches, desks, mirrors, clocks, etc.
I like a lot of what I see in terms of what other people are doing with this, especially those with means. Although I don't think I'll make my living space so cluttered as some of them do, that just invites anxiety.
This article gives an overview of the design movement, and I have to laugh at the knee jerk tendency in it saying, "Oh, it's so sad that we came up with this cool idea and it's just going to get ruined once it becomes cool and catches on!"
haha REALLY? Who cares! How about you do it because it's what appeals to you, not just because it's obscure and you'll like it for the 20 minutes it stays obscure, after which you'll consider it meaningless and tired?
This part in particular made me laugh;
"Valerie Steele, the director of the Museum of the Fashion Institute of Technology, offered a different explanation. 'It’s way more than anti-modernism, this sort of deep spelunking into the past,' she said. 'It’s not aspirational and it’s not nostalgic. It’s a fantasy world that is almost entirely a visual collage. It’s a stitched-together, bricolage world, an alternative world.'
'Authenticity is such a fed-up idea,' she continued. 'But collecting these old things, it’s like there is an aura attached to them. It’s not some prepackaged product being foisted on you by a big corporation. Too bad it’s going to be commodified. Everything in the fashion world gets hoovered up.'"
OH NO, EVERYONE LOCK UP YOUR DAUGHTERSDESIGN IDEAS! NOTHING HAS ANY SIGNIFICANCE, AND ANY MEANING THAT DOES EXIST ONLY DOES SO LONG AS YOU CAN STILL CLAIM OBSCURITY!
that's worse than being "sold out;" thinking that you can only partake in the significance of something until other people know about it, sounds like they're missing the point of being "alternative" in the first place, isn't the whole idea that you're NOT supposed to choose what you like according to fads? That goes both ways, it's just as shallow to stop enjoying something because everyone else likes it too.
LOL
No wonder authenticity is so hard to for hipsters to grasp, if it needs to be attached by a specific kind of object to be relevant. Because yeah, if you're boring enough to think authenticity only exists in the past, then yeah, you're going to need to collect antiques to scrape any enjoyment out of our surroundings before you get tired of them next week.
I personally think everything is authentic, BECAUSE IT IS, and if you are having trouble finding authenticity in your world it's not because there's some sort of shortage of reality out there, it's you mistaking your cynicism for the world being phony. There's reality and authenticity in EVERYTHING, even phoniness; everything has a unique cultural context and reflects the sincerity of the societal concerns of its time, even IKEA and reality TV shows. Not to mention, reality and authenticity are what you make of them, if you find fakeness around every corner, maybe you're just a fake person. Why not enjoy what you have, and enjoy the aesthetics that make you happy? It's up to you to attach meaning to your surroundings!
