Free virtual event "A Samhain Night Like This" chills your spine on October 25

Image
Hello darklings, On October 25 I'll be spinning a free virtual event with one of my DJ friends Jody Rose , "A Samhain Night Like This". The event will be streamed on Zoom and possibly Twitch. Jody Rose has run this virtual event "A Night Like This" for some time now. I remember attending their goth events on my home turf in Honolulu. Even if you don't turn out to watch me spin the opening set, please check it out for Jody and Hex Embrace's dark musical prowess. There will also be a guest dancer, Chloe Dark to keep the party going.   For my fellow Jrock nerds out there, Jody Rose is familiar with some of my favorite Japanese rock bands and has also answered my request for them at live events, including DIR EN GREY and Phantasmagoria. I always appreciated that solidarity in the alternative music scene, and their openness to neighboring alternative genres. I plan to spin some of my tracks I curated for last month's Goth Night at Zen. Unfortunately I

How I curate my music

Image
To be perfectly honest, it's not that difficult to curate music for a goth night. Hell, you could even open an AI program and enter the prompt, "create a DJ setlist for [x] genre", and it will do it for you.   Wanna see? Here's one from Chat GPT, when prompted with the command "Create a 15 song setlist for a Goth DJ.":     Bauhaus - "Bela Lugosi's Dead"     Siouxsie and the Banshees - "Spellbound"     The Sisters of Mercy - "Lucretia My Reflection"     Joy Division - "Love Will Tear Us Apart"     The Cure - "A Forest"     Fields of the Nephilim - "Moonchild"     Depeche Mode - "Enjoy the Silence"     The Mission - "Wasteland"     Clan of Xymox - "Muscoviet Musquito"     The Birthday Party - "Release the Bats"     She Wants Revenge - "Tear You Apart"     The Damned - "Shadow of Love"     The Crüxshadows - "Winterborn (This Sacrifice

The Human Chair and other curiosities

Image
As a creature who self-identifies as a hermit crab, the past weekend has been jarringly full of events . I mean that in a positive way though —this unspeakably ugly person needed to leave the interior of a leather armchair and experience the outside world, to celebrate my 33 years of existence.  In other, less purple prose: I've been listening to a reading of "The Human Chair" (人間椅子) by Edogawa Rampo , one of my favorite authors, on vinyl.  I dug it up at Vinyl Daze in Virginia Beach. I initially returned to the soundtrack section to dig up a reading of Edgar Allan Poe's "The Pit and the Pendulum", which I forever regretted not buying, but found this instead. The jacket art is gorgeous. The origin of my "DJ Name" is another story, but it partially relates to Edogawa Ranpo*. The author's pen name is partially a Japanese homophone for "Edgar Allan Poe", but also means "to ramble along the banks of the Edo river" in Japanese.
