Ultimate Fighting, Particle and Player-dom
An hour of my life was just lost, and I will never get it back. I just wrote an incredibly witty and irreverent post, and lo and behold, since technology hates me, it disappeared in to cyber-space when I tried to publish it. All of that hard work, gone. I am now going to try round 2 (and this time, I will not be foiled, for I am drafting said post in MSWord. I apologize, for I can almost 100% guarantee that this post will not be nearly as good as my last, but that is only because I am wicked bitter that all of my hard work was ultimately for nil.
I’ve been having all sorts of great ideas lately. I don’t know what has been so inspiring, but take them for what they are worth. I came up with this idea while watching Particle at the 9:30 club last night (I’ll talk about the show in the next paragraph). OK, my fantastic idea of the moment is ULTIMATE FIGHTING: Jamband Edition. That’s right. I want for all of my favorite bands to fight each other to the (near) death. There would be odds and lots of betting, and the winner of the said fight would get to play a victory show afterwards. Take a moment to think of all of the possibilities-they are endless. Moe. vs. Umphrey’s. The remaining members of the Dead vs. the now defunct Phish. The Slip vs. The Duo. I think this is better than my US Weekly style gossip magazine idea that would be based on the Jamband scene. My band friends would probably disown me if I told all of their dirty secrets (plus, many of them were divulged in the “circle of trust” and I am pretty sure that the punishment for breaking the “circle of trust” involves fire and pitchforks). You can take the idea even further, and pit members of your favorite bands against each other. Who would win in the Mike vs. Trey fight? Would Kris kick Andy’s ass, or vice versa? Keller is the man, but is Lou more of the man? Nershi is old, but big, would he crush Kang? Marco and Russo both have equal prowess with the ladies, but which of those boys from the dirty Jerez would ultimately have the 1-2 punch combo? Brownstein has a funny voice, but Jon seems like he would be scappy. Ah, just thinking about this gets me all excited! I think I should talk to someone about this, it would be the hottest thing to hit the Jamband scene in a long time.
Particle rocked my world. This was my second time seeing them, and to say that they brought it would be a massive understatement. Steve Molitz’s hypnotized me with his amazing keyboard talent, and I have never enjoyed the moog as much as I did last night. They kept me pumped and dancing during the entire show, which is quite a feet for any band to accomplish on a random Sunday night. The crowd ate them up, and they, in return, played their hearts out. I would be very interested in checking out their incarnation as Hydra (with Mickey Hart on drums). I think that Mickey would bring a whole new element to their already amazing sound. Particle indeed has Rook’s seal of approval-I would definitely recommend checking them out when the come to a town near you.
Now, for my final random thought. I realized this morning as I was walking to work, that I am a player. There is no getting around it; I love boys (much in the same vein as Jay-Z loves girls). Don’t get me wrong, I am definitely looking for love and companionship from one man, but right now, there are so many different men in my life who all serve very specific needs of mine. For example, among my repertoire right now are: the doctor, the golfer, the DJ, the musician and the mid-westerner. All of these men are great in their own special ways and I have much love for each one of them. Yet, ultimately, I need to find someone whose personality covers all of the previous personas, and more. So for now, I am a player, and you know what? When it comes down to it, I am proud of my player status. “Put your number on this paper ‘cause I’d love to date you, holla at you when I come off tour.” Who knew Jay-Z and I had so much in common?? But please folks, don’t hate the player, hate the game. I really do love boys…
