Not as fun as Darkon, this movie is still good if you're a fan of RPG or curious about it. I wish it was longer than 82 minutes because as soon as you're familiar with the world, everything changes and the movie ends.

I give Monster Camp a 3 out of 5

Never have I seen press photos so accurately describe the product.

Don’t worry though, this is a return to form they said. No more experimental garbage, back to the good stuff. Back to Turn On the Bright Lights. Maybe they forgot what TOtBL sounded like, if that’s the case let me help you out... it sounded damn good. Interpol does not sound damn good, not even close. I’m hoping that with multiple listens it’ll grow on me, there have been many albums that have done that to me over the years but as of right now it sounds like nothing but droning sounds and Paul’s echo-y vocals. I understand how hard it can be to recreate the magic of something wonderful like their first album but this new one just feels forced and I’d rather listen to something completely different than a forced lame attempt on something great.

I suggest you grab a digital copy of the album from someplace like Amazon
but wait till it’s on sale for $3.99.

There is a catch, we have to buy his new album but that's really not that big of a deal for me. I'm going to try and get my picture taken with him today. ALSO today is Art All Night in Trenton, NJ. I think after meeting Danzig and before going to his concert we may head over there and check out some cool local artists. Maybe next year I'll think about painting a giant version of Alzheimer's Robot.

Hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to give you guys a review of all of today's events. Stay tuned!

oh, sorry for the lack of updates. In addition to moving, I'm doing a bunch more work at my job which means when I get home I pack and crash. Though tonight I'll be moving my TeeeVeeee first so I have less distractions. I'm hoping that'll get me to move my stuff even faster!

I've got 10 codes to give away, all you need to do is leave a comment and it's yours!

I have to say that last night’s Casiotone for the Painfully Alone concert was mind blowing. I started to write out the set list but as my phone was low on battery and I felt rude using my phone as I was one of the dozen or so people in the venue. I did use my phone to record the concert poorly. I started the recording right at the end of the first song, Nashville Parthenon.

Here’s the setlist:
Nashville Parthenon
I Love Creedence
New Year’s Kiss
Tom Justice, The Choir Boy Robber, Apprehended at Ace Hardware in Libertyville, IL
Optimist Vs the Silent Alarm (When the Saints go Marching in)
Natural Light
Traveling Salesman’s Young Wife Home Alone on Christmas in Montpelier, VT
Man O’ War
Killers
Harsh the Herald Angels Sing
You Were Alone
Cold White Christmas
Bobby Malone Moves Home
Don’t They Have Payphones Wherever You Were Last Night
The Subway Home
White Jetta

I don’t know if you’ve noticed a patern in the setlist but they played Vs Childeren straight through, in order. EXCEPT for the one song on the album I really wanted to hear. Lucky for me you can’t hear my groan on tape when after playing Man O’ War, Owen says the next song they’re going to play is Killers. D’oh! I was really looking forward to hearing it as when I emailed Owen in March he said they were practicing it. There’s always tonight’s concert right? Other than that though, the full band was great to see live and the trombone and trumpets added a really nice touch to the songs. I’m really looking forward to tonights concert.

I swear this “Northfield, MN” song is turning into my new “Twin Human Highway Flares”. I'm going to record tonights concert on my phone again, the audio quality is really horrible but it's good for me to construct a setlist afterwards (it's hard to remember all the songs played and their order!)

Tonight during the live 1 vs 100 game on xbox live I managed to get into second place but lost it all on the last question. You can be sure I'll remember what Daschund means from now on!

I suggest that you check out this game, it's free for gold subscribers. Totally worth the subscription price if you ask me. Live shows are Tuesdays at 9 EST and Fridays at 10 EST. Both are 2 hours long, and if that's not enough they have extended play every night through the week.
