That was actually the first hip hop show I've been to. I was having a lot of trouble all night actually hearing what any of the MCs were saying, I don't know if it was the acoustics at the Abbey or my ears. So, lyrical content aside, I liked Abstract Giants the most. At first I didn't like the guy with the cartoon voice, but it kind of grew on me as their set went on. Some of the instrument solos were pretty fun too. I liked Glue, he has a vicious aggressive flow, which I tend to like, but with out being able to understand what he was saying a lot of his shit started sounding repetitive. His DJ was the shit though, I likes me a good turntablist! I kind of ruined Heiruspecs for myself though. I should have stayed up on the balcony where my frail old man legs could be slothful and rest. It was probably only hour of standing, but by the end my lower back was aching and I was getting sharp pains in my ankle for some reason. I'm such a weaklingThen Reile called to see if I wanted to go to the Heiruspecs concert. Hells yeah! I love the Heiruspecs, for the last four years their music has always been there when I needed it. And I look damn sexy in the t-shirt I bought. The opening bands were interesting, too. I started getting into Agents of Change, but then they would do something awful, like this really bad freestyle the lead singer did. Basically a good hardcore band that isn't sure how to be a hip-hop band yet.
Abstract Giants were better than the last time I saw thim, but I still think the MCs aren't that great. They aren't all that distinct from the million other underground rappers, have very little stage presence, and when I can understand what they're saying its nothing notable. "Keep on moving in motion"? Uh, yeah, that's what movement is, dumbasses. Glue was good, I think he's really talented, but some of his lyrics are kind of corny IMO. And of course the Heiruspecs were fun to see again.
. Oh well, at least the band was forced to share my discomfort when request after request for me to raise my fist was met with limp arms at my sides and a defiant head bob. They must have felt salty 
. Anyway............ it was a fun show, I glad you came out with us Natedogg.As for Cinco, I can't wait, my month long endeavor is almost ready to earn it's keep. I don't know if we can use Marianne's car or not yet. I didn't invite her cause I though it would be more fun if it was just the fellas, but I'd feel kind of like an ass if I asked her to miss a day of work so I can borrow the car and then tell her not to come with
. Are there any other possibilities if we can't use it?
Obviously the car situation is still being worked out, but we'll figure it out.
