Whoo hoo! I'm off to see Gang of Four tonight...

→[More:]

...and couldn't be more excited about it. In honor of the occasion, here are a couple of my faves from their debut, 1979's "Entertainment!":

"I Found That Essence Rare"

"Anthrax"

(Note that the inrto to "Anthrax" is all feedback, but it settles into a much nicer song very soon.)

aaargh... inrto = intro, of course. And I only previewed about a half dozen times.

Be sure to get drunk on cheap wine. And you know why!

I feel like a beetle on its back. Enjoy.

I'd ask you to call me up, but we live as we dream, alone.

I saw them earlier this year and they kicked the world to its foundations. Enjoy.

Too much thinking makes me ill.

You lucky bastard. I saw them on the first leg of the tour and I went in with high expectations and they were even better than I could have wished for. That rhythm section live is so damn powerful. I'm bummed they're not hitting Chicago again.

I'l try to transfer the original single version of Anthrax from vinyl to an MP3 and upload it over the weekend. It's even more ferocious than the album version.

The problem of leisure - what to do for pleasure?

Have fun.

How embarrassing... they're in Athens, GA tonight, and are here in Atlanta TOMORROW night.

At least we checked our tickets and calendars BEFORE heading into downtown Atlanta during Friday rush hour...

But still... *redfaced*

I will post a show review... TOMORROW night.
