December 2010
I saw 100 different bands this year.
And a total of 139 sets.
The band I saw the most times was The Young Veins (8), followed closely by Empires (7).
I saw Hole four times, and tying at three times each are Neon Trees, The Gaslight Anthem, The Like and Semi-Precious Weapons.
I managed to get to SXSW and Lollapalooza. I went the entire month of May without seeing anyone. My first gig of the year was Lady Gaga. My last was MNDR.
So...

the description of the card reads “Get creeped on, get raped? Know someone that has? Then this card is for them.” the seller’s name is youstupidbitch. this is all incredibly offensive but what is most offensive is Etsy’s reply to a blogger that complained:
…It is important to us that we allow members of the community to express their own...
“And although we tend to think that, perhaps because of hormones, there is...”
– Cordelia Fine’s Delusions of Gender (via i-am-the-lighthouse)
“So, here is my challenge for those who want to tell rape jokes: Ask every woman...”
– Fugitivus (via notemily)
This is my anthem.
Saturday night I went to the Empty Bottle to see MNDR. I was pretty excited to be able to catch her set; “I Go Away” is one of my fave tracks of 2010, plus she’s kind of a badass singer/performer/dj/one-woman show. I arrived early enough to catch the second opener, Austra, who are a Toronto-based four piece with a lady drummer and another lady vocalist.
When I go to gigs by...
My Chemical Romance - Bulletproof Heart
how can...
“He has a thing about death. ‘Jenny was a Friend of Mine’ and ‘Midnight Show’,...”
– An interview with Brandon Flowers. Gerard Way has said the MCR track ‘Bulletproof Heart’ is about the same Jenny as ‘Jenny was a Friend of Mine’, and the song also seems to musically reference ‘Mr Brightside’. The earlier MCR song ‘Thank You For The Venom” begins with the lyrics “Sister, I’m not...

Interview with Mikey Way.

MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE’s Mikey Way. Interview by Nattalie Tehrani.
So I have to ask you, before the big explosion happened with the new album trailer, you guys hyped fans up with secret twitter accounts with different character names. Who was who, who thought of the idea, and were you guys entertained by all the theories the fans were coming up with?
It’s such a multi-layered...

Study showing that humans have some psychic powers... →
Rather than present a stimulus and measure a subject’s response, Bem measured the subject’s response before the stimulus was presented. In some earlier experiments by other psi researchers, participants were hooked up to physiological measuring equipment similar to a lie detector that measured emotional arousal. They sat before a computer and watched randomly selected images;...
