Double-neck

If I’d gone to Bluesfest this year, it would have been to see Crown Lands, Sum 41, and Rage Against The Machine (Sarah McLachlan, Alanis Morissette, and Garbage would have been high on the list too). Not going was a really hard decision, because I know it would have been pure badassery.

Crown Lands at Dragonboat Fest ’18; the guitarist started playing a frickin’ guitar-bass halfway through the set.

Part of the reason I made the decision not to was that I managed to get a ticket with a stellar view to see The Smashing Pumpkins in Toronto this October, and that will require me saving up for and going on a mini-trip. No matter what their setlist is, it’s going to be incredible.

I also plan on eating at least one penis waffle while there (it seems like their vag-shaped waffles are a summer-only special lol). I adore the fact that their shop name (Members Only) and entire menu is replete with filthy puns. Glorious.

It’s looking like that Toronto vacation (and time taken off work here and there to have extra long weekends for writing and web-developing) is going to be my only real getaway this year, because Japan still isn’t open for independent travel (tour groups only, for the foreseeable future). If I can’t go for concerts, then I’ll just be sitting tight for a little longer and exploring areas closer to home.

But I want to go back. I do.

I want to go see ALICE NINE. live again. THE ALTERNATIVE.

I want to feel Saga’s groove firsthand again.
