Primus used to be in heavy rotation back in college; I listened to them so much that I pretty much burned myself out.

Saw them open for Rush at the Target Center in the early 90s, then headlining Lalapalooza a few years later. Some moron hit Les with a severed pig's hoof and they cut the show short. Must a been a bad day because he made some pissy speech and stormed off. The other two just stood around for a minute or two and left after they realized he wasn't coming back.

Now I kind of find them like James Brown and Parliament/Funkadelic -- indisputably great, but I can only take small doses.


yeah, the first time i saw them was when they opened for Living Color at the universal amphitheater back in 90 or 91. at the time both my buddy and i played bass in bands and were floored when we saw them. pretty funny because at the end of their set a bunch of people started chanting primus sucks and i was thinking wtf are these idiots doing....haha! les has been going through a lot of different phases the last several years. i recommend picking up the 'the grand pecking order' cd that he made as Oysterhead with trey anistacio of phish and stewart copeland of the police. it's pretty much a psychedelic primus sound........not so hard edged but more of a groove oriented sound

CC, that would be something amazing and so far...unreal ! :lol:
But, you know, I'll find a way to work and live in LA in the future for the rest of my life. That's what I want to do in this life. It's difficult and at the same time not so. I'll try ! :D

Man, a friend of mine just showed me a documentary on Steve Nash. The dude is so ridiculously skilled that its just unbelievable after a certain point. His soccer skills are amazing and then he is equally adept in tennis and pulled off some mad skate boarding skills.

Never seen a more versatile athlete.

Yeah, I did a quick search for this Nash DVD. All I found was anal rape downloads so far.

I read somewhere, think it was Sports Illustrated, that he can go months between picking up a golf club and still shoot in the 70s. He drives his "regular" friends insane because they're constantly working on their games, yet he can just show up to the course on a lark and still beat them.

Just goes to show there's a lot more to overall athletic ability than just running and jumping.

Slim Jims. I don't care what they are made out of (I don't think I want to know), but they are tasty on the go.

Anyone else have a problem with random late night outs throwing off your whole weekend? I was out pretty late Friday night and I didn't end up waking up till 6pm on Saturday evening. Strangely, I somehow managed to go back to bed by 1am. I'm realizing now that I didn't see the sun this weekend until today. Whole weekend gone in the blink of an eye. Sucks.

But I do like when we do have Daylight Savings, who doesn't? One extra hour...Ish...
