Fat Man in Little Shorts

GASKLJSLKDJGSALDGJASDLGKJsd. That’s how I feel right now, because I just wrote a damn page worth for this post, only to have my computer crash and turn itself off!!! I mean this computer crashing crap has got to go.

I have no specific factor to declare as what is causing it, but I THINK it’s the multiple monitors. So HOPEFULLY ATI will release some new drivers soon and they will fix my problem. However it could be my soundcard as well since I always have audio on… The frequent crashes have wrecked havoc on my Terabyte and have just been an all out nuisance to things like my writing motivation.

See now you get an abridged version of what there was before. Perhaps that is best as last time there was 2 paragraphs describing an almost naked, fat, gay dude who was jiggling his boobs. So now all I will tell you is that he was the lead singer of a band at a music festival that my sister went to see. My sister described him as a trainwreck. Where you don’t want to look, but can’t seem to look away.

After his band which consisted of creepy him, a guy in long underwear that had written on it “I Love Martin” and a girl with pink hair that just wishes she had boobs as big as the gay dude, there was some other crappy band. They were stoned and depressing and couldn’t sing in key, and I was really doubting this music festival.

We went out to get something to drink and I (who had tried to sleep earlier in the day from exhaustion due to lack of sleep previous night and a long car ride back from Eau Claire) sat down and just crashed.

I mean the only thing keeping me awake was people watching and a crappy painting with a naked chick with puffy nipples. Until the next band came on. This one got me up and back into the stage area to listen, because well… They were REALLY DAMN GOOD.

It had 2 singers in it. The main singer is a girl who’s voice sounds like Dolores O’Riordan (from the Cranberries), who was also playing a synthesizer. There was also a guy who sang and played guitar, another one was this one dude who was playing (I shit you not) an accordion and sometimes a bass, and some guy who was really good on the drums.

The band was named Headlights. They were so good that I went and bought all their cd’s after the show. My sister wanted me to convince her to give me the cd’s for free, but I wouldn’t even consider trying that with a small little band that’s not on the radio. I settled for offering them a website. To which they do have one, and though it’s not great. It’s not bad either. If I pushed it hard enough I could probably get them to let me redesign it, but I don’t know what I would do to one up it.

At any rate this band did 8 songs I think. The first 4 they considered “in space” which we decided were Trip Hop, and the last few songs were “down to earth” Rock. I liked the spacey ones better but it was all pretty good. I will update this post with torrent links once I start seeding them on OiNK.

After that, I figured the bands that came after might actually be good, but I was so damn tired that we left before we could find out.

Hmm, seems OiNK really is king. Both of their EP’s are already uploaded. I could upload the live album, but the recording quality of the show was not that high.
