Now, off to some sleep before I catch Front Line Assembly, Architect and Rave the Reqviem in about 12 hours. (It's 7 a.m. here. Tired? Yes.)
More shots,

You can never quite prepare for what Nurse With Wound will bring to a live set. Always on the borderline between avant-garde, experimental, industrial, noise, dark-ambient and drone and a back catalogue of well over a couple of dozen releases since their inception 1979. It's hard to prepare.
What was delivered yesterday blew away any expectations I had. A long, singular set of pure sonic...

First out, Moth. A Danish postpunk/synthpunk/coldwave-band. Quite good. Find out more about over at their bandcamp.
Secondly, on to the main attraction. Clan of Xymox. Unfortunately, quite a boring gig. I wasn't all that impressed.
Oh, and someone hit on me. I was shocked, in disbelief, but managed to receive a few hugs. Felt good. Then the subject managed to disappear. Oh well. C'est

To start off with, today we "celebrate" the 34th anniverary of Ian Curtis passing (05/18/1980). A time for some still contemplation and lots of listening to Joy Division.
But the real treat is what happened yesterday. I went over to Copenhagen to check out Current 93. David Tibet is either a madman, a genious or both. He kept singing, shouting and screaming for what

Where are you going?
Where are you coming from?
What are you heading for?
These are totally useless questions.
Making a clean slate, starting or beginning again from ground zero,
seeking a beginning or a foundation - all imply a false conception of
voyage and movement (a conception that is methodical, pedagogical,
initiatory, symbolic...).
But Kleist, Lenz, and Büchner have another way of traveling and...

So, yesterday I went to a few concerts. Sharing a couple of photos just out of habit.
Sista Mannen på Jorden, Rational Youth and Psyche were playing. Best part: An impromptu cover of AC/DC thunderstruck from Rational Youth, with Darrin Huss of Psyche handling the vocals.
Psyche.

The brain becomes slightly unhinged when a number of carefully constructed facades collapse.
Most based on interests, social context or professional relations.
Some were constructed during high-school, as a means of self-preservation. Others came along later.
I've always been good at keeping either of them up. Not letting people in. The thing beneath all the facades
is apparently quite wrong, broken and ugly. Or so...

Go check this thread. Leave your own stories of using vidya games as a coping mechanism.
So, last weekend was Easter weekend.
What better way to celebrate easter than going to another town, another environment and enjoying some good music?
The Valhalla Festival took place in Norrköping last saturday, and I went up there as a sort of vacation.
Mostly Dark Ambient bands - most with some sort of association to the area, and Cold Meat Industry as a common label...

So. Last night I dreamt I was a Tyrannosaurus Rex.
This dream came after another one, which wasn't as fun. I can't remember what it was about, but it woke me up with a distinct feeling of dread, panic and an insane heart rate. Anyway. Managed to fall back asleep. Must have been lying rather strangely in bed, whilst dreaming about being a T-Rex, because...
