Rob Zombie

I found out Wednesday night that Rob Zombie was doing a concert in Great Falls last night (Thursday the 29th). He’s touring with Ozzfest, which is playing tonight in Billings, and for whatever reason decided to do a side gig in Griffals.
I sorta wrote it off - I figured it would be sold out. Ozzfest sold out in Billings in less than 24 hours. Also, I already had something going on - the volunteer appreciation party for the hospital gala. But Thursday morning, the day of the Great Falls concert, one of my buddies called to say he had an extra ticket. WAHOO! SCORE!
Turns out it wasn’t sold out and the Fenskes were able to join us. I left work early and rode up with with Jason and Naomi. Gene was up in Havre on business. Nancy had to work late. We all just converged on Great Falls and it all just kinda came together at the very last minute.

So I’m pulling into the parking lot at work after seeing my grandmother at lunch. It’s a beautiful, sunny, 50-degree Spring day and I’ve got Metallica’s “Blitzkrieg” cranked on my iPod, playng through the car stereo. A woman from an office upstairs comes walking by with a scowl on her face that seems to say, “Damned kids!” She makes eye contact and instantly the look on her face turns to confusion as to why a fat middle-aged guy would be blasting heavy metal in his car. I cackled for a solid 5-10 minutes on that one.

These kids do a really good version of the Halo theme with a bit of a harder edge:

I think mobile17 is the current incarnation of the service I used to send the Munsters and Mission Impossible themes to my phone as ringtones. I haven’t tried it recently but I told someone I would post it here again if I found it. So, there ya go.

Quite Good, Mr. Bond

The only thing I didn’t like about Casino Royale was that it is rated PG-13. However, Daniel Craig is an excellent James Bond. He has an edge that no prior actor has been able to give the part. I think Timothy Dalton tried to make him edgy, to differentiate himself from Roger Moore, but the performance was just as hollow as Moore’s. I daresay Craig is better than Connery. Craig has the physicality (is that a word?) that makes the stunts he pulls off believable. Heresy, I know, but I won’t make a final judgment until we get to see a couple more installments.
Update: I dug out the only James Bond music I have - Moby’s version. It’s way too pretty for this new movie. Way too slick. It fits better with the Brosnan movies. The new movie needs something more metal or industrial. More brutal.
