There are no Purple Haze here Jimi...

Haven’t had much to update lately, the haze have really kill whatever inspiration I had for writing. I really hate the haze and I am getting sick of having to go through this every year. Man, the thought of going to Europe at this time of the year next year seems appealing to me right now.

I am listening to the new Converge that had leaked a few weeks ago. I think it is a good continuation from the last two previous albums. It is heavy and intense and it is nowhere near a let down unlike the new album by ISIS. At least it has not been a total disappointment for me in terms of new albums that I have been looking forward to hear. The only thing that disappoints me about the new Converge is that Deathwish wouldn’t ship the pre-order of the new album to Malaysia or any other countries in South East Asia. I am sure this has something to do with the whole hxc-schmucks-credit-card-fraud thing that happens a few years back. Thank to you fucking morons, now I can’t have those LPs from Converge. I hope karma will get back at you and treat you well.

Yeah I know that Revelation and Interpunk got the same pre-order package as well but they wouldn’t accept any credit card order from Malaysia. Sending cash is not an option right now because I would rather do everything at the comfort of being in front of the PC and at the click of the mouse instead of going to the moneychanger and the post office. Give me convenience or give me death ok.

Talking about hxc schmucks, I just found out that they are having some interesting discussion at Ricecooker about the upcoming FC5 shows/tour. Hmmmm… hxc schmucks will always be hxc schmucks. A friend asks me what are my opinions regarding the whole issue. Well I don’t really care actually. I have no idea about the band and I have no interest to check them out or 95% of the bands that will be performing with them on the tour. But yeah some kind of drama will be good every now and then. It is kinda boring when everyone agrees with you all the time. I think I would rather do the stuff I believe in instead of wasting my time and energy debating about the whole DIY issues on the internet especially not with a bunch of strangers who are hellbent on fucking with you instead of having a healthy discussion. But then again is that surprising? Hxc schmucks and the Internet don’t go well with each other you know.

Oh well enough with the hxc schmucks, Selamat Hari Raya for those who celebrate it. Eat well and have fun.
