The answer to this particular question for myself was this: at the bank doing some deals, when all of a sudden my cellphone went crazy with text messages and twitters and myspaces and whatnot to the tune of <span style="font-weight: bold;">omg did you hear Michael Jackson just died?! </span>My first thought was, wait what, wasn't it Farrah Fawcet that died today? Could these people somehow have confused MJ with Farrah?<br /><br />Do they think she's the same person?<br /><br />Mais Non, a few seconds later I look up at the television screen conveniently placed near the counter at the bank. It is going crazy with "Michael Jackson in hospital", "Michael Jackson dies" and various other confused and other contradictory headlines and scrolling info bars.<br /><br />The bank is suddenly all afflutter with <span style="font-weight: bold;">OMG MJ IS DEAD </span>conversations, it doesn't make sense.<br />I have this strange suspicion it's all a hoax, some April fool's prank gone wrong, or worse it's deliberate and the prince of pop has eaborately and effectively, staged his own death!!!<br />I think I must be in shock. Anyway I get out of there quick (I never really liked banks anyway) and several hours later I find myself in the <a href="http://www.flashrock.com/">Flashrock.com</a> studios interviewing San Bernadino's Death Watch (<a href="http://www.myspace.com/deathwatch06">myspace.com/deathwatch06</a>).<br /><br />Of course Michael Jackson comes up in the interview.<br /><br />And of course it's probably not a good idea that it gets captured on camera and preserved on the internet for you and all those people of the future who a) like metal videos and b) want to know where you were when Michael Jackson died, to check out and watch over and over and over.<br /><br />Forgive them....<br /><br />I think they're drunk.<br /><br />The band do have two vocalists though, you can't beat that. It's like a double dose of what's good for you. They bring the heavy. Despite everything, I just can't help but love them. Check out this interview, performance and permanent time capsule for people of the future featuring the talkative, the brutal, the fucking awesome...DEATH WATCH!<br /><br /><br /><embed src="http://www.flashrock.com/tv/player.swf" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" flashvars="width=360&height=270&file=http://www.flashrock.com/tv/flvideo/835.flvâ„‘=http://www.flashrock.com/tv/thumb/2_835.jpg&displayheight=270&link=http://www.flashrock.com/tv/video/835/DEATH-WATCH-Indie-Metal&searchbar=false&linkfromdisplay=true&recommendations=http://www.flashrock.com/tv/feed_embed.php?v=7798bc7e9d9db83c612a" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="360" height="270"></embed> <br /><br />-Pandie<br /><br />xoPandie Suicidehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01594483406297198517noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7842646878220587309.post-13122920524493874422009-07-29T08:04:00.000-07:002009-07-29T18:05:36.024-07:00Rockstar Mayhem Fest Adventure Special Part 1: San BURNadino<a href="http://mayhemfest.com/media/thumb.gif"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 262px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 226px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://mayhemfest.com/media/thumb.gif" border="0" /></a><br /><div><br /><div>The beginning of our Rockstar Mayhem fest 2009 adventures took place in sweltering San Bernadino on July 12 with it being a reported 110 degrees, and that's before even stepping into the pit!

As darkness was just beginning to fall and Slayer stepped out onto the stage under a haze of crimson-devil lights and smoke, out of nowhere the entire crowd, no make that the entire stadium at Glen Helen Pavillion, surged forward, running, jumping over each other, fighting for access to the pit. Which was in many cases...DENIED!! haha<br /><br />Entry to the pit was granted only to those with pit tickets, if you had no yellow "pit" wristband, then it was no pit for you baby (Luckily we did not have this problem). This left many disgruntled, amped up, ready for a fight in the pit, fans "homeless" and watching from behind pit lines, watching enviously the brutalizing going on in the pit to the sweet, soothing sounds of the almighty SLAYER.<br /><br /></div><br /><div></div><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 458px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 404px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://c1.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/107/l_71bae709161f4d88bba426cedb19a644.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br />Slayer: Photo by Regina Perez (my partner in crime)</div><br /><div><br /></div><br /><div></div><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 393px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 326px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://c3.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/72/l_229cc01055594db1ac0fd09fd40b51c2.jpg" border="0" /><br />Us trying to steal some shade in the Hollywood music Tv booth haha<br /><br /><br /><br /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 394px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 342px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://c2.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/89/l_bfaae3e5e386410da04a889ed91a7e15.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><br /><br />Dino Cazares (Fear Factory, Divine Heresy, Asesino etc)and wife jennifer snapped by Regina Perez during Dino's signing.<br /><br /><br /><p></p><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 459px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 750px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://c2.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/84/l_638d48ad1dd641528e452102974d1799.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br />Maniaco was there, and we just had to pose with him.
