Impressive tour. I feel I’ve lost a bit of interest in Dev since I fell out with the biggest Dev fan I’ve ever met. I’ve seen him live three times now and met him, so that was great.
I also saw Paradise Lost when they came around. I didn’t know their music at all so I was a little lost. Wouldn’t mind seeing Katatonia sometime.

About that guy that got eaten by some dude in Miami what do you think he was on?
(pic is actually him and the guy that he ate the face off)/b33/
I wrote a load of stuff here but since I switched to Opera for Tumblr it doesn’t seem to let me add stuff to posts when I reblog. Annoying…
Anyway, don’t do drugs stronger than weed kids. Sorry about the gore picture, but I think it really carries across the message. They’ll fuck you up, you wouldn’t just eat a guy’s face.
