Battles of the Cereal Bowl
Working my way through my second bowl of Spiderman 2 cereal. I have to say that of the two summer blockbuster cereals that I have tried Spiderman 2 takes home the prize. I’m sure the folks at Kelloggs cereal were delighted when they realized that the shape of a honeycomb, given some slick spidey coloration, could easily pass for a spider-web. And now that you know that the very first thing I put into my mouth this morning was a spider-web, surely you understand why my mornings kick so much more ass then yours. I laugh at your granola and soy yogurt.
Saw an incredible band last night called Battles. They take the whole instrumental math rock thing into a whole ‘nother hypnotic vector-based 4D digital-analog dance dimension. I have never ever seen so many amplifiers piled on the 7th Street Entry stage. Featured in Battles line-up are; the kid of Anthony Braxton, who plays instruments with all four appendages and his mouth, the drummer from Helmet and the guitarist from Don Cabellero. The whole rocks greater than all the parts. All standing members of the band kept time by doing this light bouncing jogging thing which made me think that if only I had adopted that cool jig in high school I would have been able to pass out of pre-calculus.
