Some people may love him, some may fear him, but there is no way you can ignore him. Oh, and I can't wait to see him.
You too can see the man himself at:
The Paramount Theatre
The long overdue and much anticipated reuniting of the band Rage Against the Machine has come to pass! Yes, this may be old news to some of you out there, but it is still good news to me. To this day I recall when Joel and I relocated to Seattle from Sydney, Australia in 2000 during the Olympic Games. Hell, it was a hectic move with so much hype revolving around the Games. Sydney is a great place to live at any time, but during the Olympics it was a bustle of activity 24/7. It was a fabulous place to be. However, in spite of the excitement of the Games, all I could think of was how I wished we could have left Sydney a month earlier to catch the final show of RATM in Seattle.
I have always been a huge music fan and have seen many bands in action but RATM were just one of those bands that you had to see! They had it all:
A social/political message + a HOT lead singer (Zack) + talented musicians = awesome band
Now they haven't made it out here to Seattle yet, but I am hoping that they will be hitting our shores in the not to distant future...or maybe I will have to go to them!

Beautiful
Joydrop: Metasexual
"If I was beautiful like you, oh the things I would do
Those not so blessed would be crying for murder
And I'd just laugh and get away with it too
Like you do" Totally cool lyrics!
Judith
A Perfect Circle: Mer de Noms
This is another one of my favorite bands. I missed their recent visit to Seattle, but saw them after the release of this c.d. a couple of years ago. What a show!! I actually prefer the previous line up to the current one, who can compete with Paz on bass and violin??
Killing in the Name
Rage Against The Machine: Rage Against The Machine
An absolutely brilliant album by one of my all time
favorite bands. It is refreshing to hear a band sing about something that is actually relevant these days.
Twisted (Everyday Hurts)
Skunk Anansie: Stoosh
So this was their 2nd album and it just keeps getting better!!
I Can Dream
Skunk Anansie : Paranoid and Sunburnt
This album introduced me to Skin and the band, Skunk Anansie. I saw them do an acoustic set at the HMV store in Sydney and they were amazing. Skin has an amazing vocal range and she has attitude - what more could you ask for in a woman!
