Update:
Geez I've been bad blogging lately.
Okay, here's the headlines:
In addition to Celtic Frost (I'm just finishing the review now... which between you and me, I'm finding really hard), I also got offered a free pass to review Mondo Generator at the Underworld last night.
I was thinking of either going to see Morbid Angel at the Mean Fiddler, or seeing The Grates at the Metro, but a free show is a free show, and I want to take as many opportunities to get in print as possible. So I went to Mondo Generator.
The Mondo show was brilliant, if a little underattended (it is a Tuesday, after all, and the show wasn't brilliantly promoted). The funny thing was a high percentage of Australians were present, including a couple of Expats that I have met around the way.
Another funny thing was that the first band, a German outfit called Gods of Blitz who kicked absolute arse, featured a guitarist with a Radio Birdman tattoo on his elbow. It turns out that various classic Australian bands were really popular with a certain subset of people in Germany about ten years ago.
In any case, I have written and sent off the Mondo review, I'm currently trying to tweak the Celtic Frost review. Not knowing much about Celtic Frost, I am really not sure how to describe the show, but I think I might have got it.
Also, last night I was trying to reply to a Myspace from a friend, and accidently hit Forward instead of Reply (fat finger syndrome at work). The first name on the forward list just happened to be Organ magazine, at trashy freesheet that covers all manner off trippy stuff.
In any case, a staffer at Organ emailed me back wondering what my caper was. I sent a message back explaining that it was all an accident brought on by exhaustion. He emailed me later accepting my story but commenting that there were some good reviews linked off.
Nice. Another comment made by complete accident.
Anyways, I'm going to give the Celtic Frost review the once over, see if I can give it any more punch, and then send it off.
Over and out.
