| Shadow Society is tomorrow! |
[24 Jun 2009|11:47am] |
After last months foray into the darker side of electronic styles, we will be focusing on the more Deathrock / Old School Goth/Darkwave genres at this months event. No bands either. So enjoy the dance floor all night long.
We will also be showing the following films for your visual entertainment:
Return of the Living Dead, The Beyond, & Near Dark.

| Thank You to all of our wonderful friends! |

I have to say, going in, Cat and I weren't expecting much to come of our donation thing. But you all totally surprised us, and gave us a new sense of hope.
The donations we made are going to easily cover our expenses. Cats bills for for dental work are still going to be rough, but this will take a sizeable chunk out of them and for that we would both like to give our most heartfelt thanks to each and everyone of you that helped us out in what I have to say was probably the worst financial situation we've ever been in together.
And special thanks to all of you that reposted and encouraged complete strangers (to us) to help us out. You guys are the best!
XOXOX Josh, Cat, Ramses, Banshee, Kiki, and Lala LeeLoo.
THANK YOU! Now my mommy can keep giving me yummy food! - Ramses

| Can't afford to pay rent. Please help if you can! Thank You! |

I would never normally ask this of my friends. But unfortunately, I've really got no options left.
Basically I can't afford to survive right now. I am unemployed, and I just had my car towed. We used the last of our funds to get the car back today. But now we are screwed because my girlfriend Cat also owes a couple grand to pay for her recent root canal. We were making due ok, but now with the tow fees, child support payments, rent, bills, and other unexpected expenses we are well and truly screwed.
So if you can afford it, and can find it in your heart to help friends in need, we have set up a chipin event. Anything helps from .50 cents to $50.
Thank you so much,
Josh, Cat, & the kitties (Ramses, Banshee, Kiki, and LeeLoo)

| Sonic Symphony - Free downloadable album |
[28 May 2009|03:34pm] |
This is the first in a series of tributes I plan on doing through my music project Vernian Process. Future installments will include tributes to the work of Nobuo Uematsu, Koji Kondo, and more. But I decided for my first volume, I would pay tribute to one of my favorite games of all time. I am in my thirties and grew up playing all of the 16-bit Sonic titles as a kid. I later had the great pleasure to work for SEGA in the early 2000's and worked on 4 different Sonic titles in my time there. I've always loved the music in the 16-bit games, but after awhile I got sick of the low quality of the old Genesis sound card recordings. So I decided to redo all of the old tracks in my own style. I mainly started this project just for my own listening pleasure, but I quickly decided to share it with other Sonic fans. So without further adieu, I present to you...
Sonic Symphony

Vince, Klive Humberstone (one half of In the Nursery!), and yours truly in Grace Cathedral.
I look like a kid in a candy store. It isn't everyday you get to meet your biggest influences, and have them pose for a picture with you!

| Riddle me this!?? |

Ok so check this shit out. There's this Contemporary Christian singer I used to like when I was a kid named "Carman". He made this video in the late 80's called "A Witch's Invitation" (please excuse the pretty misinformed view of "all" wicthes in this video).
So anyways, I was on a nostalgia kick and saw his MySpace profile.
http://www.myspace.com/carmanofficialsite
And I scrolled down to his "top friends".
WTF!!?? He has "My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult" in his top friends. How can this be? How can an incredibly Conservative Christian who made the above video, have a band that has always thrived off of their occult imagery and music on his top friends??!! LOL
My brain is melting...
and I am very fucking high at the moment as well.

Gilded Age Records is a collective of artists who share a 19th Century aesthetic in either their musical style or thematic influences. We feature a wide range of musical styles from traditional Tin-Pan Alley to Industrial-Metal, and a little bit of everything in between.
I'm still working on details and the overall layout of the main site (I have some really grand ideas that I'm working out), but I'm happy enough with it to make it public finally.
Cheers!

| Shadow Society this Thursday - A Vaudevillian Faerytale |
[23 Mar 2009|12:49pm] |
Unwoman and Onkel Woland will be performing a fantastic combination of live skits and music. Something quite unique, you don't want to miss it!
Visuals will be provided by our friend Van. He will be decorating the venue to look like something out of the darkest recesses of the Brothers Grimm's imaginations. We will also be projecting the weirdest most surreal fantasy shorts, and films including the works of Jan Švankmajer, The Brothers Quay, Terry Gilliam, Tim Burton, and many others.

| A little something for the Elfman fans out there. |
[03 Mar 2009|10:15am] |
Danny Elfman - Little Demons
In 1997 Danny Elfman recorded a series of demos for a film he was pitching about three (evil) adopted children who make the children in the "The Bad Seed," and "The Good Son" look like angels. From what I've been able to gather the children are initially used to lure other children to their deaths at the hands of a demented circus performer (Come Along). And eventually murder most of their adopted family (The Cat is Dead).
The music is very similar to the score of The Nightmare Before Christmas (but that's to be expected given Elfman's fondness for that sound).
Until now the only copies of these demos floating around online have been very poor quality recordings. So I present to you the newly remastered mixes of these demos.
Their is still a bit more static in the background than I'd like, but I've compressed and EQ'd each track for the best quality I could muster from them.
Enjoy!
Josh

| After 6 years, I'm spinning again tonight at House of Voodoo |
[30 Jan 2009|12:02pm] |
So Mike Voodoo was the first promoter to give me a shot DJing, I will forever be thankful to him for that. I spun with Mike, Perki, and Phylean at House of Vooddoo for about two years around 2001.
We didn't exactly part ways on the best of terms, but we settled our differences, and I have been asked to come spin tonight at The Cat Club.
So if any of you miss hearing me spin lots and lots of Deathrock, tonight will be your chance (at least until Shadow Society, because Deathrock will factor heavily into the sets there as well). I don't think i need to bother posting the address as you all know damn well how to get to the Cat Club lol.
