2many Dees but not enough Js

if anyone can mix and mash the sound of buddhist monks chanting to the theme music of starwars, it's probably 2many djs... it's just that i hadn't planned on listening to something so strange and experimental... the night was so experimental that the venue chosen would normally cater for weddings, and business conferences... in short the accoustics was shit, and the atmosphere resembled a school dance... especially with the no booze, no smoking on the dance floor policy. bizarre night.

rage against the machine

it was ironic to see 10,000 sober, angry kids (see explanation below) moshing, screaming, shouting "fuck you, i won't do what you tell me", "fuck you, i won't do what you tell me", "fuck you, i won't do what you tell me"... and then marching out of the arena in an orderly single file, seconds after the encore ends and the inevitable it's home time announcement. not a whimper or a single boo. it was as if all that aggression and anger was lobotomized with a single announcement.

i must admit, i was angry early... after learning that no alcohol.
that's right, the gig was dry. only soda-pops, tea and evian...
it was easier to score and get high then it was to get a beer...

with the drought hitting hard, i thought the gig was going to be pretty tame, but the kids surprised me with their energy... fuelled only by the music, and possibly a bit of chemical assistance, the place rocked and bounced hard. im sure this must have been a totally new, and strange experience for RATM, playing to a sober yet crazy, but very polite crowd... how all these different elements gelled is a mystery to me.

fashion hi-lights... girl standing next to me was wearing a tshirt that said "mosh pit" across her tits... enuff said.

fashion lo-light... big fat aussie bloke wearing a HRT (Holden Racing Team) shirt. beware there are bogans in japan.
