A Better Tomorrow #2: Dude Fest Mania

Jess always comes back from Indiana's annual Dude Fest with the darnedest pictures. Last year it was this lovely latrine. This year it was the above photo. It is of Hewhocorrupts, though it looks like an outtake from Will Ferrell's Old School. That's what Dude Fest seems like to me: a festival of Frank the Tanks soundtracked by entire days of grindcore. Jess' second podcast does nothing to dispel this notion. In it she interviews Avi Kulawy, vocalist of Magrudergrind (reviewed here) and Derek Black, Dude Fest's organizer. She also presents her impressions of the festival and plays some rather bracing grindcore.

That Gaza is some intense shit. And I keep meaning to go to Dude Fest each year, but it never works out. Hopefully someday!

The chick seems a bit ditzy.
Even ditzier than my girlfriend who only listens to rap.

Bicro.

Obviously you couldn't connect with the music. Having a girlfriend that only listens to rap will do that to you.

Hey Bicro, you care to provide some examples to support your lackluster observation?

Hey, don't get me wrong, I love the music, and actually went looking for some Magrudergrind the night I listened to this. It hit the spot, and the hot fries and monster made the night just that much better.
It was a good selection, and hey, being just another internet person it's just my ignorant-ass opinion.

Truly, I'm just a jaded non-entity, so please disregard that.

Apologies.
