What's on your mind?

I just wanted to say rest in peace Lou Reed. I know he wasn't metal strictly speaking, and a lot of people didn't like the Lulu record he did with Metallica. Still, Reed in my opinion did a lot of good music as a soloist and with the Velvet Underground. I like a lot of different music, and Reed was one of my favorite songwriters. Thanks Lou.

Rip Lou Reed. You will be missed

Whitby. Packing ready for my weekend away, Goth-tastic. I will be the one wearing black.

[RelentlessOblivion]

Have fun, wait is having fun goth? I don't know

[satan 59]

Lol, looking depressed while wearing black listening to dark music. Setting off now, be there in a couple of hours then start boozing, again.

[RelentlessOblivion]

So basically the goth idea of fun is no different from the doomsters idea of fun except that we doomsters don't write shitty poetry about how life is only pain. Poetry is so un-doom.

I hide myself away in the dark I can't find my way in this hole This twisted life is so cruel I'm so sick I need to find her soul to save me

Screams filled with sorrow Echo from the woods Tears drop to the ground Colour my path blood-red The Blade (so sharp & cold) May the Spirits chant my name Oh, the everlasting winter of my soul ice burns my skin, I writhe in cold & grief

Shitty poetry FTW!

Why so serious

I was in a band man.... Around 10 years ago I played bass with some guys and they made me their bassist. At the time I was 20 and they were a couple of years younger, 16, 17. Playing basic 90s style Pantera/Machinehead stuff. I was their official bass player and recorded with them, though I never played live with them. But because of my personal stuff like work getting too much, I had to leave. I also felt a bit too down and socially phobic to be in a band at the time. Anyway, now, 10 years later , I am 30 and they are 26/27. They changed to metal-core/screamo type music (a genre I have no knowledge of or interest in) and have got kind of big. They are not a famous name but, they have shared a stage with famous bands and played the small stage at a Download festival. Also, when I go back to my hometown to visit Mum and Dad I see kids wearing their T-Shirts, as they have a big cult following there. They also have worked with big emo producers and have real albums and expensive videos. I just feel so old and uncool man. I don't know the bands they play with at all. And they have such a strong bond/solidarity, wearing the same wristbands all the time. Ah man, I couldn't have had it. I'm too shy. Hopefully I'll improve my confidence and get to join a band more suited to me now. Some Battle Beast Grand Magus type shit man.

Just be grateful you didn't stick with them, think about all the button-up shirts you'd have had to buy and all the haircuts you'd have to get.

Saturdays are awesome, especially today I'm saying "fuck you" to what was, in the end, a short lived no-alcohol policy since we're having a Halloween party tonight (yeah I know it's not Halloween but shut up )

I've heard that cutting off the circulation to your junk by cramming it in girl pants does wonders for your acne. Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2

Unfortunately it also means you and your friends will forever be complaining about how none of you can get laid. Even that fat kid who sits alone at lunch will laugh at you

Unfortunately, those dudes frequently get laid. It's sort of a resurgence from the androgynous looking dudes getting all of the ladies in the 80's, apparently all you need to get fucked today are some 2nd hand clothes, bisexual tendencies, and like crappy songs about your broken heart.

Among teenage girls there will always be the type who want girly looking boys in make up, tight clothes, and hinting to them that they are bisexual. When I was a teen in the 90s it was Placebo/ Manic St Preachers fans.

On my mind - very lucky to attend another awesome show last night. Openers Vaz were a pleasant surprise - a three-piece making down-tuned post punk noise with some really ferocious drumming, heavy odd-timed grooves, and good, unpretentious vocals that reminded me of Ian Curtis and Jello Biafra. Somehow this managed to be old-school and sound fresh at the same time, with an unforced heaviness that had nothing to do with metal. A bit of Swans, a bit of Melvins, all good stuff. Brain Tentacles is a Dave Witte side project that I'd never heard of. Mostly a two-piece - drums and sax, but with a looper and some pitch-shifting effects. The sax took the place of guitar and bass throughout most of the set, although they were joined by a bass player for the last song. Witte's drumming was more open and jazzy than one might expect from his grind performances of years gone by, but still always tight, precise, and hard-hitting, a fitting anchor for the really interesting, abrasive noise coming from the other fellow. This could have been straight up Albert Ayler style free jazz, but the effects allowed him to build up grainy, thick textures and layer often haunting melodies on top of them. Experimental without being wanky or falling into jazz cliches, reminiscent of Zu's "Carboniferous" album. And, finally, MELT BANANA! I'm really stoked to have a chance to see them live. They performed as a two-piece (!!) with a shit ton of speakers and programmed stuff making up the rest of the band, this time around - vocals and guitar/effects. What made it work was how much of it was either controlled in real-time or so freakishly well-choreographed that it may as well have been. One of the few times that I've seen programmed backing tracks work, and maybe the only time that I can honestly say it might have been MORE difficult to play along with backing tracks, because there's so much chaos and spontaneity written in; the element of danger is really what it's all about. I can't say I enjoyed some of the rave-y-er moments of the set, but fuck, it was impressive. Overall a great show; every band was solid and refreshing. And it's great to see a more diverse bill.
