    stupid first world problems you're dealing with

    My band had the most morale crushing trainwreck at our gig last night.  We were the 2nd of 3 acts in the lineup, everything fine through the first two songs, then we get to the 3rd (a waaay-altered Cure cover that we've probably practiced 300+ times and have been gigging out for the last 2 years) and someone's IN THE WRONG FUCKING KEY.  Our female vocalist and myself (drummer) just look at each other in horror and after 8 or 10 bars I/we call uncle and just stop.  Doesn't help that the neither of our front ppl have the kind of stage presence to laugh it off, joke with the audience, etc. so the awkward silence is palpable.

     

    Then we restart and whoever was in the wrong fucking key is still in the wrong fucking key, only this time there's no stopping, only 3-1/2 minutes of pain and embarrassment. As this point I wanted to kick over the kit, destroy every guitar and bass onstage and walk out into the ocean.  And we still had like 9 songs left.

    equity - econo-thriller with a poignant feminist bent, much closer margin call than the shitty big short if you'd like some sort of a scale to use. the direction is kinda bland, but the acting is good and the script is tight. lots of morally-in-the-grey characters that make it interesting. pretty neat.

     

    home sapiens - i have no patience for this anymore, it's basically an hour and a half slideshow of short scenes of places with traces of human abandonment. a lot of japan post fukushima, post soviet shit and so on, with no people in the scenes (but the film is called homo sapiens, real clever, right?). it's all beautifully composed and shot with a still camera and i guess it's supposed to provoke you to form some sort of narrative about human impact on environment in your head or whatever and engage in some deep philosophical discussion, but i just can't be arsed, lately i just want the films to suck my dick while i stuff my face with chips.

     

    magnificent seven - look, i'll just watch pretty much anything as long as it's in HD and with Dolby Surround sound.
