"Most intense 2 1/2 hours in memory" Phffft!

Yah, I was at the Skinny Puppy/Severed Heads show, and I
saw Greg Earle there.  But I am having a _tres_ hard time
believing that angybondy could get caught up in that shit.

Severed Heads: Invite two friends over.  Put on your Howard
Jones reccid.  Have one guy yell in your ear, while the other
one plays with the tint control on the TV.  Doug called this
one pretty damn well.

Skinny Puupy: More problematic, cause there were times when
they did some interesting stuff.  Mostly synth-wimp=disco
bullshit.  Not evokative, not atmospheric, just bland.  And
the stunts!  High-school level pretension.  The mime was
embarassingly bad.  Oh yeah, the blood bag in the hamburger
musta kept 'em up all night thinking how deep they were.
The mud on the face was OK for a few, and the sander and
closing jam (maaannn) almost rescued them from being totally
pathetic.  FACTORY IS MUCH BETTER AT THIS STUFF.  SEE THEM
INSTEAD.
