Fast Fashion
11/10/05
Okay, so D-Mode kicked ass- they actually surprised me with their set list. A good mixture of some new songs (40%) and the good old faves (60%- if the math is wrong, don’t worry- I’m not one of the smart Asians anyway…). In no particular order, their set list consisted of:
Pain that I’m used to- sounds good live…it’s my fave song off the new album
John the Revelator
Policy of Truth- Awesome
Personal Jesus- almost thought they wouldn’t play this, some of the other songs had a similar percussion and I’d they’d segue into it but they didn’t
Precious
Home- LOVE THIS SONG…slightly different from the album but in a good way
Suffer well
Walking in my shoes
I feel You- complete with NUDITY!
Enjoy the Silence
(not listed: some new songs that I don’t really care for…)
Encore 1:
Somebody- surprised that I knew all the lyrics…
Just Can’t get Enough- totally unexpected until the played the next song
Everything Counts- so thought they never played this live again
Encore 2:
Never let me down again
Born a Lover- ended the show with this…the one song I wanted to hear from the Exciter Tour that they didn’t- it’s my fave song from Exciter…
The venue was cool- smaller that I thought and we had a good view of the band. It’s where the Spurs play and by the entrance to our seats they had a marquee of one of their players shoving aside someone in Laker Colors…bastards…
Suprisingly- no one was smoking inside…unless you count the inevitable pot that someone always manages to slip in…
The only thing that bugged me was the drive there and the drive out the parking lot. Texan drivers are very aggressive- leaving concerts at So Cal there was always a courtesy in exiting the lot…letting some through, and later some let you through- very karmic. Here it’s a free for all. Our little car was almost crushed by SUV’s that saw us and didn’t care. ASSHOLES. And the drive to get there? I was going past 80 mph (the limit was 65) and there were big rigs tailgating me….the whole way…why they just didn’t go around me, I’ll never know…at least Holly had fun mocking all the weird names we come across here (example: Bexar…which for some reason the locals pronounce Bear- how? I’m not considering myself a local yet…)
Also missing from the D-Mode show? The huge Hispanic presence that always shows up in So Cal for those kind of shows…kinda weird and one of those thing you don’t notice until it’s not there…
Oh Well…
PS: Downtown San Antonio looks like the bad part of Van Nuys (or Pacoima…)
Other news: I got Holly’s car state inspected today- it’s annual inspection that’s not unlike a smog check and a visual inspection of the car…except not as thorough- but is required to renew your car’s registration…
Also Joss Whedon is returning to the Buffyverse! But via comics and we’ll take whatever we can take…
They announced on the radio that Aerosmith is playing in January and for a moment I thought they said the SMITHS…
Saw the Fifth Element again today- the movie is starting to look dated- I still love Milla in the film…
Still braindead…slept for five hours (took the day off from work- yeah I’m a lazy bastardido)- woke up, took Holly’s car in, did a bunch of errands and now just being more of a lazy bastardido…
More later
Maybe…
But incase I forget (and since tomorrow is Veteran’s Day)- I don’t support the war, but I do support the troops especially there are people out there that I know…and it’s not their fault they are there…I’ll give an extra offering to Vishnu for you guys…be safe (extra shout out to my cousin Gwen- hope your home to you two little precious ones soon…)
Stay Crunchy- even in milk…
