On JUSTICE live in NY, 3/11/08

shaun (9:20:54 AM): DID THEY PLAY THE SONG THAT GOES RUPRUPRUPRUPRUPRUPRUPPRRRRT?
shaun (9:20:57 AM): i like dat one
trixie (9:21:27 AM): it was actually fucking insane. i kept saying to hacks that this should have been at hell at the masquerade.
trixie (9:21:36 AM): it was the most roger sanchez-y thing ever.
shaun (9:21:54 AM): good roger sanchez, or Placeholder-era roger sanchez?
trixie (9:21:57 AM): next to roger sanchez.
trixie (9:21:58 AM): GOOD.
trixie (9:22:03 AM): like, i get the cross, now.
trixie (9:22:07 AM): cause they were holding church.
shaun (9:22:22 AM): yeah but it’s kinda obnoxious to say that about yourself, isn’t it?
trixie (9:22:26 AM): though i have never known it was possible to feel 30 years older than everyone in a room when only 27.
shaun (9:22:28 AM): like, sanchez wasn’t always the s man
trixie (9:23:01 AM): but he was at connected.
shaun (9:23:05 AM): yeah, true
shaun (9:23:12 AM): what was the crowd?
trixie (9:23:16 AM): oh, man.
trixie (9:23:24 AM): it was like 12 year olds in nu rave hoodies.
trixie (9:23:39 AM): you know, the ones with so many little bits of small color that you’re sure you’re having a seizure while on ecstasy and dying?

shaun (9:23:45 AM): LOL
shaun (9:23:50 AM): the dim mak dino hoodies
shaun (9:24:00 AM): THOSE ARE SO UGLY AND SO OFTEN THEY SMELL BAD
shaun (9:24:01 AM): srsly
trixie (9:24:05 AM): yes.
shaun (9:24:05 AM): kids dont wash those
shaun (9:24:07 AM): like ever
trixie (9:24:13 AM): these did not smell bad, because these kids are 12, and their parents wash them.
trixie (9:24:35 AM): i mean, it was seriously like looking around and going, “wait… these kids really just do NOT get what this filter house thing is about.”
trixie (9:24:48 AM): but they boshed it out. like, it was banging ass crazy fucking tech house loveliness.
trixie (9:25:03 AM): and then they closed with some insane hardcore (in a good way) remix of “master of puppets”?
trixie (9:25:15 AM): i was like, ‘WHAT THE FUCK ZOH MY GOD.”
shaun (9:25:41 AM): ok, see…
shaun (9:25:45 AM): back before erol alken had tshirts
shaun (9:25:48 AM): i was thinking that
shaun (9:25:51 AM): the justice schtick
shaun (9:25:58 AM): was combining the meat-headedness of metal
shaun (9:26:03 AM): with the sexy hard tech
shaun (9:26:04 AM): in a way that
trixie (9:26:05 AM): (there is a before erol alken had t-shirts?)
shaun (9:26:08 AM): would work for both
shaun (9:26:12 AM): and then i gave up
trixie (9:26:12 AM): (when was this, the dawn of time?)
shaun (9:26:15 AM): YES
shaun (9:26:17 AM): I WAS THERE
shaun (9:26:20 AM): i’ve never been wrong.
shaun (9:26:22 AM): anyway.
trixie (9:26:23 AM): on the beaches in ibiza?
shaun (9:26:26 AM): with sasha
shaun (9:26:28 AM): yes.
trixie (9:26:31 AM): in a ditch!
trixie (9:27:47 AM): but yeah, they were great, way better than i expected them to be, but they did have this tendency to build up a track for ages and then just go, “AND DROP OUT TO NEXT TRACK” and then five minutes later, bring back in the vocals to, say, “never be alone.”
shaun (9:28:17 AM): were there fat guys?
shaun (9:28:22 AM): i always assume fat guys <3 justice
shaun (9:28:31 AM): they’re totally metallica on pills and you can NOT deny that
trixie (9:28:49 AM): hacks and i were so the old guys from the muppets, stuck up in the way fucking back… thank you, ticketmaster. i get up at 9 am, figure out the password to the myspace presale (which, by the way, was either “myspace” or “justice” and get us floor tickets, but then they change the venue, totally forget about me, and stick us in the fucking 2nd farthest row back.
trixie (9:28:56 AM): there are no fat guys in new york, shaun
trixie (9:29:16 AM): and certainly none that are rich white kids who have dim mak dino hoodies their parents wash for them.
