Happy Halloween

Published on 3 years, 6 months ago in News. 0 Comments

Happy Halloween, I hope you enjoyed my October goth mixtape.

For a treat, I’ve tracked down a copy of Skinny Puppy’s infamous “Worlock” video. This video was created by cEvin and Ogre of Skinny Puppy using cut footage from horror movies that was removed by various ratings boards. Because of the nature of the work, it’ll never have a commercial release, due to the graphic content and copyright clearance problems.

Which is what makes the Internet awesome, years ago this was something that you had to spend time tracking it down at horror movie conventions or from ads in the back of zines and when you got it was a 5th generation VHS tape and looked like ass. These days, it’s on youtube.

Read more about the video here.

Sisters of Mercy – Dominion

They’re goth but they wear all white? and film videos that look like Indiana Jones & the Last Crusade? Good song, strange video. I miss 120 Minutes, although I guess VH1 Classic shows Classic 120 Minutes now.

The Nuclear War Dance Party Mixtape

Published on 3 years, 7 months ago in mixtape and Mixtapes. 0 Comments

“The release of atom power has changed everything except our way of thinking…the solution to this problem lies in the heart of mankind. If only I had known, I should have become a watchmaker.” -Albert Einstein

A mixtape about nuclear war. When I was growing up in the 1980s, I really felt that there was not going to be a future. It just seemed inevitable. What better way to deny the inevitable than with a dance party?

Of course we didn’t know to much later that the Russians were cooking the books and that by the end of the decade they’d be insolvent and the Cold War would be over. Any young person these days probably think it was all very ridiculous.

But it did produce some great songs:

  1. Anne Clark – Poem for a Nuclear Romance
  2. Orchestral Maneuvers in the Dark – Enola Gay
  3. The Postal Service – We Will Become Silhouettes 
  4. Frankie Goes to Hollywood – Two Tribes
  5. Psychic TV – Eve ov Destruction
  6. Fischerspooner – We Need a War
  7. Time Zone (feat. Afrika Bambata and John Lydon) – World Destruction
  8. Sting – The Russians
  9. Nena – 99 Luftballoons
  10. Alphaville – Forever Young
  11. Black Sabbath – Electric Funeral
  12. Sun Ra – Nuclear War
  13. Colonel Bagshot – Six Day War

Clove Cigarettes and Coffin Nails: A Gloomy Goth Mixtape for Halloween

Published on 3 years, 7 months ago in mixtape and Mixtapes. 1 Comment
It’s that time of the year, the falling leaves and grey skies make one remember the gloomy music of your youth, the apple pie taste of a Djarum black, that extra strong cup of coffee drank at a Denny’s at 3am, watching a crappy VHS tape of Return of the Living Dead in your friend’s basement, musty used books, scuffed Doc Martins, Ritt black dye that never dyed things dark enough, getting your ass kicked by the football team…
It seemed to rain a lot more often back then, didn’t it?
Enjoy this mix, everyone gets to be a little goth now and then, even though cloves are now illegal and your mom’s reading Twilight.

The Rowtow 10 Horror Movies to Watch This Halloween

Published on 3 years, 7 months ago in Lists and Movies and TV. 2 Comments Tags: , , .

title

First off, FUCK SAW. That series is one of the most braindead, boring series to ever blight the genre of horror. Pretty much the only people it appears to are Frat Boys who get chubbies from fake gore and don’t need such simple things like a story.

Second, FUCK remakes, unless they’re by John Carpenter. Hollywood just churns out remake after remake of classic horror movies because they know that today’s emo teenager is too clueless to actually watch the classics and will line up to see these cinematic abortions. Much like how they idolize Fallout Boy and My Chemical Romance, but have no idea who Fugazi or The Cure are. But I digress.

I made this list not to be all inclusive or to highlight rare films, I made it to share a list of ten awesome horror movies that provide excellent entertainment value for watching this Halloween. So, please enjoy.

Near Dark

splash-neardark

Basically this movie is the anti-Twilight. The cast of Aliens (Bill Paxton, Lance Hendriksen, the tough Mexican broad) are a clan of vampires that drive across the lonely highways of the American Southwest in a Winnebago with blacked out windows, leaving a trail of blood and terror in their wake.

This is the vampire as what it’s supposed to be: a remorseless killer driven by insatiable bloodlust. No sparkling pretty boys to be seen. Directed by Katherine Bigelow, who directed the excellent Iraq war film this summer, The Hurt Locker.

Level of Rowtow:  Some good gore, great performance from Paxton, but no drugs or perverted sex. Minimally Rowtow, but an excellent movie.

John Carpenter’s The Thing

splash-thing

The only remake allowed on this list. John Carpenter took a novel idea from a vintage 50s monster movie, stripped it down and created something better. A remote Antarctic research station is infected by an alien lifeform that takes over other people’s bodies. The survivors must battle paranoia as they try to determine which of them is actually the alien. Kurt Russel delivers a winning performance as Macready, the base’s helicopter pilot. Groundbreaking levels of gore and a taut, psychological story drive this movie.

Level of Rowtow?:  Insane-o levels of gore, some hardcore boozing and Kurt Russel dumping a mug of whiskey into a computer after it beats him at a game. Pretty goddamn Rowtow. Also, it’s got Wilford Brimley.

RIP Captain Lou Albano

Published on 3 years, 7 months ago in News and Videos. 0 Comments Tags: , , .

albano
Louis Vincent Albano, 76, was a professional wrestler, WWF personality and actor, best known for his connection to the 1980s “Rock & Wrestling” phenomenon. He was famous for appearing in Cyndi Lauper’s videos as her fictional father and playing Mario on the live action segments of the Super Mario TV show in the early 90s. Possessing a loud mouth and a larger than life personality, the man was famous for his antagonist manager role in pro wrestling and his cheek piercing.

The man made me laugh more than any wrestling personality, not to mention he was the best live action Super Mario.

So long, dude. Enjoy some classic Captain Lou vids after the fold.
