[512] the cost of one admission is your mind

Currently trying to motivate myself to get moving and get ready for the work holiday party tonight. I really don't actually want to go (weekends are so short as it is! I just want to get high and play video games!!), but I know everyone will be on my ass Monday if I don't, so. Free food is free food, I guess.

ROH and MLP announced a joint show in Windsor for the weekend before the Winnipeg Dynamite, so it's looking like my two weeks of vacation will be transitioning into two and a half weeks of vacation with even more hot cross-Canada train action to look forward to! I kinda want to wait for them to confirm where the AEW shows for the rest of March are gonna be before I book things, just to be on the safe side, but that might take a while. UGH, working Monday to Friday makes cool long vacations so much harder to take, I HATE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT.

RIP Jay Briscoe, three years today. RIP David Lynch, one year yesterday. This damn birthday week, I swear!

Theatre is still closed. I lose more hope by the day. Thank god for wrestling, but I need more regular, short-term things to look forward to to survive! And getting dressed up to go to the casino and hang out with my co-workers sure as FUCK does not count.



Wikipedia Sez: The United States of America is the only studio album by American psychedelic rock band the United States of America. Produced by David Rubinson, it was released in 1968 by Columbia Records. The album combined rock and psychedelia with then-uncommon electronic instrumentation and experimental composition, along with an approach reflecting an anti-establishment, leftist political stance. The United States of America received limited attention on its initial release and charted at number 181 on the Billboard 200. The band broke up shortly after the album's release amidst interpersonal disputes. The album has been reissued several times and has garnered widespread critical acclaim in the decades since its original release for pioneering styles and techniques that would later become common in rock music.

Genre: Pop/Rock

Styles: Alternative/Indie Rock, Contemporary Pop/Rock, Experimental Rock, Psychedelic/Garage

Prior Familiarity: I think I've heard of them.

What I Did While Listening: Cleaned up a bit. Emptied out some emails. Bled.

Verdict: "What if the Beatles, but evil?" Damn, this shit sucks!

Favourite Song: Cloud Song

Leshia's Rating: ⭐⭐, and this WAS gonna be a three because there WERE actually a few tracks here that I fucked with, but then it ended on a song in which sex is referred to as 'California good-time music' and that single-handedly brought it back down a full star.
