Mr. Crowley

On the way home from Western MD, I heard "Mr. Crowley" by Ozzy Osbourne. Originally, from just the opener alone, I thought the song was a track from in the movie, "Clockwork Orange." However I was corrected on the song's origin.

Aleister Crowley is an interesting dude who had something to do with the 'Golden Dawn.' I don't know much about him except he is a controversial figure within the new age/pagan spiritual circles and that he created a version of the Tarot known as the Thoth Deck. Crowley also consumed many drugs and kept meticulous records on his drug use. More about Crowley here.

Personally I think the main pic they use of Crowley reveals alot about how he acted and how others may/may not perceive him.

Apocalyptica at the 9:30 Club

Wednesday evening, May 7th, we went to the 9:30 Club in DC NW to see Apocalyptica, a Finnish heavy metal band that jams out, rocks out, and thrashes away on four cellos and a drum. We were among the last to arrive with the music starting. I could tell it'd be a good show by watching the lead cellists play. This was my first time seeing Apocalyptica. I originally found them on Myspace. Most assuredly it was a great show! It is hard to find the right words to describe how amazing it was!
