If you don't have tickets to see Dethklok tomorrow...

...Go to the Crofoot and watch Empty Orchestra play with that dude from Sparta's new band, Sleepercar. If that's what you are into.

I saw Sparta back in 2005. It was the second worst show of my life (the first worst show of my life was Zwan in 2002). Jim Ward was the worst part of the show, too. You will definitely not see me at the Crofoot tomorrow. Sorry. I am not shelling out $10 just to see Empty Orchestra open for a shitty band whose only claim to fame was that the lead singer was in a sweet band nine years ago. I think Sleepercar should be opening for Empty Orchestra. At least the lead singer of that band won't be so cracked out that he can't hold his guitar or sing without drooling. Ouch. Yeah. That was cold. Maybe he wasn't cracked out when I saw Sparta? Maybe Jim Ward was just having a really bad day *sob*. Maybe that was also Billy Corgan's excuse everyday when he decided to do that Zwan thing.*

Ladytron on Wednesday!!! YAY! Thanks, Jasper. Next time you see me, folks, I will be about ten pounds lighter from all the dancing I will do on Wednesday night. Paris Hilton says that is how she stays so skinny (riiiiiiiiiight).

*Although, if you have read "How to Make Love Like a Pornstar" by Jenna Jameson, you would have read the story about her hanging out with Billy Corgan and Marilyn Manson in a limo and how Corgan was drooling all over himself because of all the drugs he had done. Ward and Corgan have something else in common! DROOLING!

Flint.

Flint is the largest city in the United States with a one-syllable name. But that isn't it's claim to fame. The most well-known fact about Flint is that it is considered one of the most dangerous cities in the United States (#3 to be exact).

Now, I definitely don't want to start shit with any bands from Flint. Especially, Empty Orchestra. They are badasses to the bone. They played at a metal festival last month, and I am SOOOO glad I wasn't there. They probably would have beat me up or something.

I'm going to be quite honest with you, zombie movies scare the shit out of me. Most horror movies do. Creepy music also does. Their song "This Heart is a Monster" sends chills up my spine. All joking aside, it'll hook you in and eat you alive.

They recently released a music video for "It Gets Better", directed by Hott Garbage (who also directed a stunning, yet creepy vid for Mason Proper for their song "Friendship"). Would it be corny of me to say that this music video couldn't get better? Yes it would. But I am going to say it anyway. The music video for "It Gets Better" couldn't get any better, because it is already pretty damn amazing. The song is good too.

What is even scarier is that this band boasts over fourteen members (rotating, of course). Sounds like a gang to me. Their leader, Stephen, looks like the kind of guy that would murder you if you spelled his name with a "v" instead of a "ph." No lie.

These badasses play a lot of shows (mostly because they are such tough muthafuckas). So, uh, check them out.
