Another free show tonight:

Hey All,

After going to Stratford to pay my rent, I took a bus to Homerton to return some library books.

While stuck on the bus back from Homerton (what the fuck was up with the W15's today, seriously?) I got a message from the editor of Alt Mag asking if I wanted to cover the Stone Sour show tonight at the Astoria.

All things being equal, I was thinking that I might catch a late ticket to see Opeth and Paradise Lost at the Roundhouse. But I've already seen both Opeth (two or three times) and Paradise Lost (once, but not terribly impressed), and a free ticket beats paying for a show.

I'm not that big on Stone Sour (or even Slipnot, for that matter), but getting my scribblings in print trumps any personal feelings I have towards bands (with the exception of Ben Lee, who earlier this year I found to be so smug and dull in concert that writing a review of the show probably would have resulted in a suit of Libel against fasterlouder.com.au).

So I'm back here at the flat, ready to defrag for a minute, check out some stuff about Stone Sour and then head out again in time to catch their set.

At least this is one band that I'm sure won't cause me to gush all over the monitor again.

Over and out,

Jason
