Well, that was odd.
I'd been looking at an empty evening tonight, so I accepted an offer from some Rocky people to see KMFDM in concert. For those following along at home, look up "Juke Joint Jezebel" in your Funball playlists, and you'll have an idea of just what I was expecting.
Quite the surprise for me, let me assure you. We were at the head of the line, so crushed ourselves up against the barrier by the stage. I was then greeted by Combichrist, sounding to me like nothing more than prerecorded beats, overenthusiastic drumming, and angrily screamd (uninspired) lyrics. Then KMFDM appeared, and were at least playing the interesting parts of their own music, even if the balance on the mics was not what I was expecting. Two encores later, I'd still not heard anything familiar, and tried to squeeze out ahead of the crowds.
Strangely enough, I enjoyed myself, despite fairly low personal energy and a short dizzy spell, and being crushed against a metal wall. Perhaps not an experience I'd repeat lightly, but I'm open to ideas.
Then, when I got back here, there was an extremely disconcerting hissing coming from the engine of the Sube. It would get louder and softer for no apparent reason, and a few minutes with a flashlight didn't show anything out of the ordinary. I think I'll see if it works tomorrow, and also if it still hisses, and then decide if I want to worry about it.
