Type O Negative @ Terminal 5 WTF



WTF...

So after snooping around the internets this morning/ night.. I decided to read the Kroosh blog to see what she is doing this month music wise. She used Tourfilter on her blog to let people know what shows she was going to be attending. I had never used Tourfilter, so I signed up.

I might be late to the game but this is a seriously awesome site. You select your location and add some bands that you would like to track. It then recommends bands for you to track based on your selections. You can then see other users who are tracking those bands, add to RSS, get weekly opt in emails, and listen to mp3's. You can also sync it to your iCal. This is freaking amazing.


Because of this tool I was able to find out that my all time favorite band, Type O Negative, is playing at Terminal 5 (which is a really crappy venue) in a few weeks! I checked out tickets immediately, having seen this band over 10 times, and they are sold out... off to craigslist!

Anyways.. Check out Frozen2Late's Tourfilter, and sign up for yourself!

He's probably looking for some thunderstorms to rock out to!

I highly reccomend watching the show Flight of the Conchords on HBO after that horrible show about Aquaman. Of course you have to consider that Flight of the Conchords has taken over the spot for Sopranos which is probably the hardest shoes to fill in all of cable television history.

Here is the deal.
The show is about Jemaine and Bret and their manager Murray. Jemaine and Bret are from New Zealand and have a band called Flight of the Conchords. Think Tenacious D... their songs are good but meant to be funny. The guys have been around for years in New Zealand but have landed this amazing HBO show, with HBO funding.. and the coolest of cool settings in Brooklyn, NY.
You follow the guys around in their effortless, yet meaningless approach to RockStardom. Murray tries his hardest, with all of his passion to help the guys succeed. Only 12 episodes in .. and I am HOOKED.

Here is a video of my favorite song by the Conchords...
