ledgergermane: Oh yes indeedy my friends. I bring to you this gem I recently found. I had actually come across another scan copy of this about a week ago, but it had separate versions for the German and English translation, and all color pictures were separate jpeg files… that was no fun. This is one PDF, with with the first half the full color scanned German original w/ pics, and the second...

I have arrived.
So it’s like this: now I have a Posterous site as well as my main blog and music site, Facebook page, Google Plus site, SoundCloud page, ReverbNation page, BandCamp site, and MySpace page. Not quite sure yet how I’ll work this site in with my usual distribution network, but who cares? I’m one step closer to having an account on every damn social media site imaginable! I shall...

The Hammer Speaks
“Why so hard?” the kitchen coal once said to the diamond. “After all, are we not close kin?” Why so soft? O my brothers, thus I ask you: are you not after all my brothers? Why so soft, so pliant and yielding? Why is there so much denial, self-denial, in your hearts? So little destiny in your eyes? And if you do not want to be destinies and inexorable ones, how can you...

Roxette, Charm School →
The new Roxette album, Charm School, starts off a little blase on the first track but rapidly finds its feet and delivers some excellent electropop. “She’s Got Nothing On (But The Radio)” and “Black Cadillac” are sterling jams. If you liked Roxette back in the day, you’ll love this!

For most of my life, I was a pretty accomplished artist. My father was an artist in his spare time, and I took after him. I began doodling when I was six months old—couldn’t even walk yet, but I could scribble the shit out of a giant crayon! All through my school years, my fellow students and friends used to love to see whatever monsters or giant robots or cartoons I would draw. In...

DJ Bat, the electrowizard behind one of my all-time favorite industrial/ambient acts, Xorcist, now has an exceptional podcast going. The first volume, “Blueprint of Life (1965-1985),” is a wonderful retrospective documenting how electronic music (and music in general) influenced Herr Fledermaus during his formative years. It’s a wonderfully intimate, and extremely musically...

The Truth About the Apple Tax →
Gizmodo provides an honest breakdown of the old saw, “Apples cost twice as much as PCs.” Guess what? In most cases, they do. If you buy an Apple, you’re getting screwed. Period. If you want to know exactly how much you’re getting screwed, check out the link.

No, seriously. This is a truly terrifying movie. The kind of film whose sense of panic and utter hopelessness and pants-shitting terror is so palpable it left my hands shaking. Now let me tell you…I live on a steady diet of horror movies. At best, the greatest in the genre creep me out, or sometimes just make me shudder with their august brutality. But Quarantine is absolutely diseased (pun...

Goth: You Just Can't Kill It →
Ahhh, the Goth Scene. The first social scene I ever felt truly comfortable in. At heart, I’m still an oldskool Goth—and probably always will be—but I find the recently influx of emo- and punk-related imagery and sounds into the Goth aesthetic (both visual and musical) to be completely offputting. I’m perfectly happy being an indie-rocker/revivified New Waver these days,...
