Now Playing: buck 65 - medley
Porn Title of the Day: The Rockhard Files
I went to see Buck 65 tonight at the Marquee by myself. By yourself, you may ask? Yes. It was a bold and courageous move, but what the heck, I said, and I went. After I was there for a bit I ran into some people that I knew in high school...the kind of people you were friends with *in* school but didn't really hang out with outside of school, so you sortof lost touch after graduation and all that, and then you see them like two years later, and you're like, these people are cool, why didn't/don't I hang out with them? And such. ANYway, so. Buck.

I wish I could put into words what it was like watching the show tonight, because I think it would be one of the greatest pieces of writing I've ever done.
Basically, when you watch someone like him perform, he's got so much presence and feeling, that it inspires in you almost a sense of longing. I just want to crawl inside of what he is, and curl up and be warm and happy. It's almost like you want to be consumed by what you are seeing and hearing.
Crap. I was there and thinking "When I get home, I know exactly how I'm going to communicate my experience to the world". I lied. It's too much.

He's amazing, he's incredible, he's a genius. The whole thing just killed me. Will-from-high-school was standing next to me and every five minutes or so we'd turn to each other, he'd say, "Umm." with this sortof euphoric expression on his face, and then we'd turn back.

I'm pretty sure he only played two tracks from "Square", and they were my two favourites. Honestly. Also, he threw glitter onstage, like fairy dust...and then accidentally wiped it in his eyes and was blinded, meanwhile telling us a story about some cannibals he met in Ireland.

Buck 65, everybody. The new album is out today. Jump on the bandwagon. Buy it. Own it. Love it.
He is fully, 100% guaranteed to rock your socks.
