Puscifer
Busy so busy and I have things I want to write, but I'm just so very busy. At work I'm doing everything I possibly can ahead of time to make things easier when I'm not in the office (although I know there's no amount of planning that is going to make this working from home thing easy) and at home I'm doing everything I possibly can ahead of time to make things more comfortable (although I know there's no amount of planning that is going to make this recovery thing comfortable).
But if nothing else, I wanted to tell people about the amazing Pusifer concert thatmckitterick and I saw last night in KC. It was at the Midland which I've somehow missed experiencing until now (so beautiful and the sound quality was top-notch). If you're not familiar with the band, it's one of Maynard James Keenan's projects and (IMO) his best. I'd never seen them, and I'd read a little bit about how Puscifer's concerts are kinda surreal, but I didn't want to be spoiled for anything. I went in with no expectations or anticipations. It was amazing. I just...well. I've mentioned before how much I like music. It's been a while since I saw a concert that so moved me. Next time they tour (please let there be a next time and they play locally), I'm buying tickets as soon as possible so I can be closer and feel comfortable standing, like everyone on the floor seating. I think I'd have wept.
I don't subscribe to the idea of souls. They might exist outside of our physical bodies (anything's possible), but the notion doesn't jibe with my brain. They're a wonderful metaphor and a nice idea, but do I think I have a soul separate from my person that can exist without my body? Not...really. But if I did have a soul, mine would have been slightly outside my body for much of last night's show. The visuals (weird, creepy, silly) pulled on my eyes and the bass (intense, deep) pushed out my heart. I could feel these impossible things happening to my body. I opted to be Not An Asshole and didn't stand up when the people in front of us didn't but oh I was literally on the edge of my seat, pushing/pulling myself closer to the stage.
It was incredible.

ETA: after hearing the different versions of the songs from the first two albums, I wonder if I need to reconsider my non-purchase of the remix albums for those.

Man I need to go see some live music. or at least go dancing.

I love live music but I won't sacrifice my sleep/health to see it as much as I'd like.

Yep. The touring acts I like tend to play in DC and that's a PITA trip. I need to start seeking out local music I like, after I left the punk scene I stopped keeping up.

You know, it was the fact that the Fab Four show Jay dragged me into seeing was at the Midland that made it bearable. That place is just .. magical, if I may say so.
I love going to the basement for the restroom and the little off-to-the-side bar down there.
Thank you for sharing your music find!
