We finished Severance last night and man, what a wild show. It’s like The Office meets The Twilight Zone meets 1984 meets Kafka meets Eternal Sunshine…

I don’t have an Ozzy anecdote, though I did go to Ozzfest in 2002. I left during Ozzy’s set because I wasn’t having that great of a time. It was cool to see him perform. System of a Down and Rob Zombie were pretty good too. R.I.P. to one of the titans.

Big Ears was excellent once again. Tortoise, ANOHNI and the Johnsons, Beak>, Ahmed, Ibelisse Guardia Ferragutti and Frank Rosaly, and Water Damage were all great. Most everything else I saw was good-to-very good.

They were already kind of popular, but I saw Foo Fighters in ‘97 in a small theater, before ‘Everlong’ was released as a single. They opened with it.
Also, Eminem on the Warped Tour in ‘99. Would not have guessed he’d blow up the way he did.

Every time I see a fancy cruise ship commercial, I imagine the ship under 80-90 feet of water and how awesome it would be to dive it.
