Acid Mothers Temple.

Saw them last night at Sala Rossa.  I was a bit hesitant because this sort of stuff isn’t always up my alley.  They are of the experimental/noise variety.   Went with Chrismyman, Alex, and Ari.  I like tempo and melody too much too often, but I was pleasantly surprised.  Technical skill, dynamic, tempo changes, and knowing when to kick into something groovy made the Japanese darlings a joy to watch.  Plus who doesn’t like Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon beards.  Respect.

Listen on MySpace here.

Always 2 things.

A great visual guide if you’re curious to see where those trillions are going.  The big things I see are how much the taxpayer pays of this (about half), and the comparison of military spending vs. everything else.   Nutbars.  Pro-military conservatives sounds like an oxymoron to me if you want to keep a shred of your “less government, cut taxes” rhetoric. Gaaaah.
