been slowly getting into stoner rock/metal, had only heard the essentials before, like kyuss's big 2 and boris. anyway here's a great stoner metal album, and one that's flown under the radar completely i think

Acid Bath - When the Kite String Pops

I've always associated Acid Bath more with straight Sludge-Metal (by the original definition). It is a great band/album though.

So, the Om show was prettyyyyy epic lastnight. My friend and I smoked up in the lot and went in there, so we were high for the first two sets, which especially made the Lichens set incredible. This guy does a bunch of vocal layering and buildup with one of those sampler/recorder things, and this fucking piece that he did was just fucking epiiiic. Had all these really low cavernous moans and echoes with really loud/shrieked chants and other trippy earthy noises he was making, just slowly stacking them on top of each other. Only problem being he had these electronic/siren like beeps/alarm noises that were waaay too loud for a lil bit, and I thought my eyes were gonna blow out of my head while they were ringing. Otherwise, what a fucking trip, just evoked images of wandering through magic forests into mountain caverns, and then when he does teh big growl/huffing thing it was just coming in contact with the balrog, lol. Yep, I'm a fucking nerd who thinks of these things, whatevs whatevs.

Next act Six Organs of Admittance was pretty damn boring, and kind of a killer really. Started off with harmless-enough harmony-centric guitar and vocal pieces, but went into really fast blast-beat driven noodling as soon as the drummer got on stage. Disposable post-rock, aka postwash.

Om were fucking epic. I've never seen a crowd so in tune with each other and the music, just all slowly bobbing their heads. Louder than hell, I should have really had some excedrin for that trip, but it was totally awesome. That bass just shook the whole fucking place, lol. Lichens also joined them up on stage, providing some nice guitar, vocal, and tambourine flourishes to their music, which made seeing them live a lil more interesting than they tend to be on album. I love their music, but this show was just sort of proof that they need to move on and add some other musicians/instrumentalists to their band. But man, was great.

And the venue was perfect. Just sitting there baked outta my mind for the first hour and a half watching boats off in the distance was wonderful. I also lol'd when fans were going up to the amps after the show taking pictures because they were all damaged and blown out.

to the same guy who told me 'indie sucks' and 'you don't believe in god, you're hopeless', i think i'm okay being an ass.

cool story with the Om show though, the venue must have only augmented the experience.

the blatant nonsense/sarcasm of the god comment flew right over your head, and I'll own up to ignorance to any indie comments back two years ago. At this point though I would like to build bridges and expand people's tastes rather than alienate and burn them, if possible.

I really wanna see Weedeater when they come around

also, High on Fire is great, I still think it was awesome to see them at Opeth with Vagrant
