VAC! (Velvet Acid Christ!)

 

 CHURCH OF ACID. (1997) Today we interview one of my favourite American bands. VAC -Velvet Acid Christ. For over two decades VAC has been making waves and spreading weirdness throughout the underground music scene; with his unique lyrics, master sound sampling, and esoteric equipment tastes, VAC is set to continue reigning in the underground music scene for years to come. FUN WITH KNIVES. (1999) What’s origin of your name? My brain created it on drugs. LOL. What genre of music do you consider your work to be? Many fused together. Bits of Industrial, bits of Techno, bits of Trip-Hop, bits of EBM, bits of Goth, bits of Darkwave. Bits of weird. What’s the history of VAC? Started in 1990 in […]

STAR TREK: MONDAY 24

 

  “Given the decor, it seems somehow excessive.” – Tuvok. Welcome to another Star Trek: Monday. Today we look at the Vulcan who has the adroit suggestions. That is correct, Mr. Tuvok is our man of the hour. Now Tuvok memes come in a number of flavours, most of which insult your lack of logic.  “I can almost sense his presence. It’s as though he’s challenging me to find him.” – Tuvok. We shall start here with the common “Tuvok stare, or Tuvok question” meme. Now this meme has been around for close to a decade. Though small in number, they are often used on forums and social websites as a way of expressing disbelief at human stupidity. And they work […]

MISTER JOE BLACK!

 

 “Joe Black – ‘Vile Volumes for Villainous Children’ CD – Cabaret, Vaudeville, Halloween, Comedy.” It’s Friday, and that means something different. Today we have an interview with – perhaps one of the most amazing musical performers of our time – Mister Joe Black. Here we go then. 01: What’s new in the life of Mr. Joe Black? I have just relocated to Brighton. Which has been absolutely wonderful! It’s a city that suits me just fine. Such diverse wonderful people… with the occasional harmless crazy thrown in. 02: What inspires your unique style? Paintings, film and music. I’m obsessed with the fashion and culture of the 1920’s and 1930’s. Realistically, I’m sure they were a horrible, horrible time to live […]

STAR TREK: MONDAY 18

 

 “Come on, come on.” – Mr. Sulu. Welcome to this, the 18th Star Trek Monday, and it looks to be a gay old time. Today we look at all things Mr.Sulu. And I must say, as memes go there are A LOT of Sulu ones. So sit back, relax and get ready for a long flight down the tunnel to Wonderland, Narnia… or somewhere like that. “I don’t care who dies, she lives!” – Mr. Sulu. We’ll jump straight in with this. Commonly referred to as the “OH MY” or “OH MY, SULU” meme, this meme has becoming something of an internet favourite since George Takei came out in 2005. Since then, this meme has been used on numerous pages, […]

EVIL DEAD SERIES (1981-2013)

 

 “You will die! Like the others before you, one by one, we will take you.” – Cheryl: Evil Dead – 1981. I’m certain a number of you have seen the “new” Evil Dead film (2013). I must admit, I enjoyed it; despite the lack of Bruce Campbell. Who is Bruce Campbell? Oh, child. Allow me to enlighten you. And let me be the first to say “Welcome to the World of Evil Dead.” “Well hello Mister Fancypants. Well, I’ve got news for you pal, you ain’t leadin’ but two things, right now: Jack and shit… and Jack left town.” – Ash: Army of Darkness – 1992. Our tale is long and sometimes complicated. For over 30 years the world of […]

TEN MUSIC VIDEOS: THAT YOU’LL NEVER FORGET!

 

 I thought, let’s do something different this Tuesday. And low and behold we’re doing something different. This week, I’ve decided to dedicate my post to the wonderful world of music videos. Now as you can imagine, this “theme” opens up  a world of dynamic possibilities. Should I focus on horrific videos, or perhaps retro, perhaps Rap or Rock would be better? The options are limitless. So I settled for something a little different. Today we are going to look at TEN music videos (different times, styles, genres,) that once seen shall be burnt into the core fabric of your mind – FOREVER! 10: ZLAD: Supersonic Electronic. ZLAD, born Santo Cilauro, to Italian parents in Australia in, 1961, is a musician, […]

Frank Klepacki: God of Game-Music!

 

 DragonStrike. (Westwood Studios, 1990.) You’ve been waiting a long time for this article, Wookiee; and finally, your Klepacki dreams are coming true. Well, some of your dreams at any rate. Well, the pleasant ones. The one’s without the greasy, instrument incorporated, Cain fueled (See what I did there?) orgies. “Who is Frank Klepacki?” you ask. (Don’t have a heart attack, Wookiee. Not everyone is as awesome as you. ) For those of you who like music, yet are not familiar with, Mr. Klepacki. You’re in for a treat. Command and Conquer: Red Alert. (Westwood Studios, 1996.) Frank Kelpacki is the composer behind ALL the music employed by the former Westwood Studios (and it’s descendents) in their numerous and fantastic video-games. […]

STAR TREK: MONDAY 7

 

 “I’m a graduate of Starfleet Academy. I know many things.” – Mr. Worf. As the more perceptive of you have probably realized, Star Trek Captain Mondays have ended. As of today we start with crew member memes. And, as far as I’m concerned, there is no better place to start then with everyone’s favourite Klingon: Mr. Worf. (If you don’t like Worf, then you have NO HONOUR!) After around 60 minutes of searching the internet for inspiration and memes, I realized that I had taken a very large bite out of a gigantic sandwich. Mr. Worf memes number in the HUNDREDS! There are more, Worf, memes than there are other Star Trek characters. Thus, I decided to assemble a TOP […]

STAR TREK: MONDAY

 

 “We’re out here to explore. To make contact with other life forms. To establish peaceful relations, but not to interfere. And absolutely not to destroy. And yet look at what we have just done.” –  Picard. As you can probably tell from the above picture, this week – and perhaps longer – I’ll be dedicating Monday Memes, to all things Star Trek. And where better to start then with one of the Federations greatest: Captain Jean-Luc Picard? (You may now start your Kirk vs Picard fan-boy arguments.) Now during my research into Picard memes I discovered that there are – generally accepted – no fewer then SEVEN different types of Picard meme. So, it goes without saying, we are going […]
