I saw Justice LIVE and got my CD signed!!!

Normally I wouldn’t share this with the internet but I don’t want to annoy my friends too much with my Justice insanity so Tumblr has to come forth. And personally, I love reading fan encounters so this is for my fellow enjoyers :)

Summary: Fan (me) starts shaking so bad she almost glitches through the barricade. Xavier, is a sweetheart and still signs her CD!

THIS GOT SO LONG WTF (like really long)

So, Justice in Berlin: This totally epic, wow, amazing concert sadly concludes but Gaspard and Xavier procede, as usual to climb down from the stage and interact with the crowd while „The End“ blasts from the speakers.

My friend, which I befriended in line, and I are standing front row. Exactly in the middle where the stairs are at. (THE MOST PERFECT SPOT fr)

She pulls out her flexidisc (the one you got limited to the Tsugi Justice mag) and a marker. Xavier immediately spots it on his desent from the stage and makes a “:0!” face and “oohhhh🇫🇷” noise and signs it instantly. He really seemed impressed to see the flexidisc out in the wild lol. So cool! We both stood there grinning like maniacs! I was so happy for her! (Still am!! His reaction was so cool omg)

I also try do get him to sign my WWW CD but he turns and goes the other way.

Shortly after that I concluded that I might not be able to get that autograph bc after a few rounds of handshaking they went up stage again. Sad but eh, whatever. I am still blown away by the show and so HAPPY for her getting a signature. It was like I got one for myself lol.

My friend INSISTED that we will somehow get my CD signed (😭🙏🏻) but I accepted my fate at this point.

Gaspard despawned BUT! Xavier suprisingly went down again! As he was descending the stairs I reached out trying to get a last decent handshake from him haha.

My friend suddenly GRABS my arm and pulles it towards Xavier, yelling “She deserves it!!!” Mortified I watch, as my arm gets shoved into his eyesight.

Then the evening gets crazy.

He immediately looks me in the eyes though his glasses, smiles and gives me a cheerful handshake, while saying something??? (I don’t remember and the cheering is too loud in the video that captured this Insanity.)

I totally didn’t expected this blatant attention seeking to work so, like the starstruck idiot that I was yelled something like, „THANK YOU, I LOVE YOU!!“ over the music. (I meant to say „I LOVE YOUR MUSIC“ but my brain shortened it to THAT. Embarrassing :,))

He then again started signing stuff (At this night he signed so much stuff it was really sweet!)

My friend proceeds to shout at me to get my CD out again (I’ve put it away at some point).

I fumbled for my CD, while he was distracted by another lucky fan getting their Hyperdrama Vinyl signed. Patiently I try holding out my WWW CD and marker, while also trying to be cool about it.

Emphasis on “trying”, bc at this point I began shaking BADLY. Aghast I looked at my trembling hands and hoped for divine intervention or SOMETHING for it to stop before he notices.

My prayers weren’t heard bc at this point my friend next to me notices my chihuahua shaking and exclaims surprised and LOUD “Oh! She’s shaking!” She’s so nervous!” (the callout 😔 she apologized for that outburst later haha) and grabs my CD holding arm to steady it.

OF COURSE, of all things this catches his attention again

Xavier was now looking at me again in all his golden shiny glory, telling me again smiling “it’s okay 😁🇫🇷”

My answer was a laughed “I know! 😭” and to apologize (💀).

He grins, then looks at me through his shades, leans in and points with his right hand at my left ear and asked with a smirk „Where You listening to music while our show? 🇫🇷“ (context: I lost one of my plugs before the Encore and only had AirPods at hand. Not ideal! But better than nothing. The music was LOUD!)

Half of my brain was short-circuiting and caught off-guard by him directly addressing me and of his hand movement so close to my face I almost didn’t catch the question. He clarifies (bc I prob looked like a deer in headlights) and points at his own ears (still holding the aforementioned Hyperdrama vinyl) still smiling.

I managed to answer franticly with „HAHFAKDhaHa no no no Im not listening to music! I wore them for the music- the show! It was just so loud! hAhaHA” (imagine that sentence with the most juicy german accent you can imagine. Bye, bye C1 Level English skills.)

He nodded and made an acknowledging noise and shortly got distracted by the vinyl he was still holding that he quickly signed and gave back.

Meanwhile I was mortified at my own rambling and wishing for somebody to RELEASE ME from my embarrassment.

I was somehow still shakily holding my WWW CD and marker and REALLY embarrassed at my own reaction. But it was hopeless trying to stop the shaking. My friend was just patting my back and grinning and trying to soothe me (“it’s okay!”) but I was prisoner to my shaking form. I just repeated laughing shakily, “I know! Just ignore it! I’m sorry! :,,))”

He turns his attention back to me again after he returns the vinyl and sees me, probably looking absolutely mortified at my trembling CD-holding hand and apologizing profusely.

YOU KNOW WHAT HE DID NEXT?? I was still looking at my hand at this point trying telekinesis to WILL IT to STOP SHAKING. Suddenly two hands lightly took hold of my trembling CD-holding hand. I looked up and there was Xavier, in his shiny custom Celine jacket wearing glory HOLDING MY HAND??? What the fuck.

I REALLY want to know what typ of face I’ve must’ve pulled because he just started grinning at me as I looked up at him and again repeated, “it’s okay! 😁🇫🇷” and smoothly took the CD with both of his hands and then marker from my other hand and started signing the CD.

Guys, I died on the spot.

I just put my head into my shaking hands and laughed a frazzled “oh my god” and thanked him.

My friend (happy her determination paid off) smiled and pats my shoulder (she’s the real mvp here fr).

Meanwhile Xavier all smiley signed my CD and after briefly pausing adds a heart next to his name and gives it back to me.

I thank him and he answers with “…so good (…)”???? (can’t remember what he said and the video again didn’t catch it.)

Yeah, it was crazy.

I don’t know whether I should be happy or die of cringe. Either way, Xavier is a certified sweetheart hahaha

(real footage of my hands. JUST LOOK AT THEM! TRAITORS!!)

whats your eyehategod collection like?

Idk if you mean merch or records or both but I'll use this ask as an excuse to infodump abt it all. As far as shirts go, I've got the Charles Manson slit wrist one, the old school Children of God shirt in green, and their TANFP 30th anniversary shirt I got when I saw them last year. I've also got the 2024 Southern Nihilism Front hoodie, and the NOLA Jesus shirt and The Power Of Dirt Weed mini patch which I sadly lost but at least I added it to Tshirtslayer before I lost it and I chatted w the dude that made the original run of those patches so that was cool and their 2024 patch pack that had the slit wrists, guns and giant logo patches. I've also got their NOLA snapback and 4 flyers I picked up from the show I went to. As far as physical media goes, I've got their first 3 albums on both cassette and vinyl, TANFP is a cool pukey pink/blue color mix, Dopesick is on white vinyl and ITNOS my fave EHG album is a dark green colored vinyl (my fave color) so thats neat, I've also got 10 Years and their self titled album on vinyl, their Sabbath split 7 inch, and the New Orleans is the New Vietnam 7 inch thats cool cause its got the phoenix engraved on the flipside and its orange and black, also a promo flexidisc I got in an issue of Decibel magazine for their song The Liar's Psalm. Also I've got a bunch of their side project shit, I have NOLA by Down on vinyl, I have NOLA on cassette too along w/ Over The Under. Mike's harsh noise tape thats covered in broken glass from Auris Apothecary, I adore them, they're the reason I got into harsh noise, and also Mike's spoken word 7 inch That's What The Obituary Said/Ten Suicides thats cool cause its black vinyl w/ streaks of green and yellow, I found it at a record store in Memphis when I was down there for my grandma's funeral. I've got Outlaw Orders' Legalize Crime 7 inch. I've got Last City Zero by Corrections House on vinyl, I've got a bunch of The Guilt Øf... on vinyl, their 10 inch split w IVs Primae Noctis, their self titled record, Arson Anthem's EP on super sexy red and black vinyl, En Minor's full length on vinyl, and to top it all off I've got Jimmy's guitar pedal he released recently with Does It Doom, and again, I was happy cause it was my favorite color. Oh and Mike's book! I think that's it. I should take a pic of it all together. Can they get me on the payroll for how much I promote their music or what??

Check the Record #2 (zine, 24 pages)

aaaaaand Seattle DJ/zine editor/uber music fan Jen Matson is back with a 2nd issue of her terrific little zine, Check the Record (if you remember, Jen did the great Non-Stop Diatribe, one issue back in the 90s and one about a decade or so ago both still available digitally).

This issue has an article on structural engineering for record collectors (Jen's collection is so big that she had to get an engineer out there to ensure the house's weight was ok (I'll let you read it to find out the answer!) There's also a piece on Flexidisc care including filing, storage, and cleaning (crappy as they sounded, I do get a little nostalgic for flexis).  

There are a few other pieces haven't even read yet (hey, I just got the issue!). One on a magazine flashback with the TVPs in an issue of Record Collector; and an article called Right Name, Wrong Band: Buying Boo-Boos, (there's more than one band called The Bats and two Camera Obscura's, too). 

As always, another terrific read, and I really hope she keeps this mag going!

11 and 30 for the vinyl game ♡

[supergee53]

This reminds me of a clip from Techmoan (forgot which video), he shows off a flexidisc (a record but paper) that has an Apple II program on it, and it can be read by using a record player like a Commodore 64 would read from a cassette deck.

I wanted this but the original poster is transphobic
