Fantomas.

Tonight we go to see Fantomas, but they're only supporting Serj Tankian and the FCC - the Flying Cunts of Chaos.

It may not make a huge difference though, as the last time we saw them, they only played for 1hr 5 mins, which I thought was a rip.

I'm hoping they'll crack a sweat tonight and do 90 mins.

I heard a rumour that they're only doing their Director's Cut stuff, which is our fave, so maybe I'll jump off the balcony during Rosemary's Baby, make contact with Satan himself and demand for him to do something about this heat, breakfast radio and to work out something special for Pittsburgh this coming Super Bowl.
Can you score an own goal in the NFL?

Anyway, back to Mike.

I am looking forward to watching this strange little man as he accurately and painstakingly recreates his own compositions of tweets, grunts, Latin, screams and la's.
Aside from Bob Log III, no-one works harder on stage than Mike.

Precision timing using a laptop and mouse with 2,000 people watching you cannot be a picnic. Especially when you're standing less than 2 metres from Slayer's drummer while all that's going on.

Fascinating to watch and somewhat baffling to listen to.
Great merchandise, interesting people.
It's like he flosses your brain clean of all that banal mainstream shite we are subjected to in shopping centres, offices, my dad's house etc when you just can't get away from it.
The kind of music that need a captive audience...weddings.

WTF happens to people for that day?
Stop it. Just stop it.
It's excruciating and it's the reason many people never speak to you again once you're married.
You didn't drift apart, they've just totally lost respect for you due to that fucked up Disney garbage you made them listen to for 5 hours at your wedding.

Mentally objectionable plaque.

Anyway, it'll all be banished from the darkest recesses of my mind by 10:30 pm and I shall once again be new and improved.

Thank you in advance to Mike Patton, the most committed musical hygienest of our time.
