eric's emporium.


some ignorant lincoln park types said some racist stuff to my friend and me tonight, and i can't let it go at this point. everytime it happens, the rage in me wants me to stoop to their level and call them [racial slurs], but i know it's not right, and i know it's not what i want to do. but often times rage gets the best of me, to a point where i can't control my actions. luckily, tonight, i maintained control. i was better than them.

but do you see why people hate [sic] americans, or even america in general? it's not really a guessing game at this point. the reason we're hated is because of the way we treat others who are superficially different, including our own.

faith again.

i was wrong. music doesn't suck. just everyone's taste in it does.

i've been playing the radiohead song (that will *probably* be released on the new album) "all i need" for the past hour. it's the first song in maybe a year that's given me goosebumps. watch a live performance here:

music isn't written like this anymore. music is made with the "associated to" mindset more now than ever, instead of a respected emotional and forward thinking mindset. fuck all your garbage that can be so clearly placed inside of a genre. it's rubbish and you know it. fuck your tight pants and your claps and your feminine, wannabe-ass freddie mercury stage moves. fucking tools. you've failed.

look out or radiohead's new record in 2007 sometime. also, mastodon and dj shadow (9/12), squarepusher (10/16), and deftones (10/31) records (of this year).

BTW WHO'S COMING TO MASSIVE ATTACK @ THE RIV ON SEPT 13??
i'm also gonna be at dj shadow @ hob on 10/9, and del tha funkee homosapien @ abbey pub on 10/27 for any takers.
