Scary Guy

Actually I think they're more on the left than the right, goddamn hippies. Look at the stereotypical fundie/red neck dinner. red meat, a beer, and nascar. No PETA members might just possibly be even more retarded than fundie Christians. At least they understand how the food pyramid works. But then again there is that imaginary friend thing so I don't know.....

I'm going on at 9, so get there at 9.

It's hard because I see both sides of the issue and agree with both. Wilhelm is right that two rooms does look empty although I don't really care about a crowd. I'm happy just hearing music myself as was the case on City Club Sundays when DJ Riccer was spinning with 15 people in the club and ME on the dance floor spinning around acting like an idiot till I fell down, simply because I could. However I felt the same way Helena does when John would close the two upper levels of the bar. People stopped coming because of that fact. Hell I still can't decide which floor was my favorite out of two and three, but it certainly wasn't the first floor. Part of the draw of that club was the three bars on three levels. Most of the time people didn't care if one of the bars was closed, they just wanted a change of view. Another good example is The Labyrinth when the upstairs bar was a part of it and people could chill out up there as well. I mean I loved that, why did they ever change that? They did it too late though because if they did it back when The Lab was packed when I first started going they'd probably have made even more money. Oblivion is certainly not more important than the patrons though (and I'm in the troupe saying this). The patrons come first because the patrons bring us money. The night exists for them first and always, otherwise it would just be a warehouse practice space. That being said Oblivion does give The Works a sweet deal for letting them use their space to practice. I'm sorry it went a little over last night but that was due to the fact there will be some bands at an all ages show running from 7-9 tonight at The Ritz (which none of us over there are happy about either but this was planned MONTHS ago). Believe me I and all the other DJs have been nagging Wilhelm as well because it means more time for each of us to do our thing. However we also understand his point of view as well. It costs money to run the sound system and lights back there as well. There are 7 power amps driving two large speakers. Then there's the back heater which costs money because otherwise it's freezing back there. I also like the hard core dedicated crowd that shows up every week and I'm glad we have that. I do what I can to make the night awesome and I'm sorry Helena that you missed my really awesome set. However I do like that we do a variety of things, two rooms or not. We do Deathrock and Goth, and we do Industrial and neoEBM. If we're so inclined we'll even throw down some metal and punk. Although it's really hard to please everyone we still try. Believe me though that you're concerns have not fallen on deaf ears. I will post the playlist later, I'm at a friends house right now and my gear is in the car for tonight's show. Rest assured though it's all awesome.

PETA can go eat a (horse) dick That's been my stance since I've heard about them.

I agree wholeheartedly. I'm smart enough to know not to do "bad" things because I don't agree with them (and the prison system scares me which is another deterrent of me just going around killing idiots). However others might need an imaginary big man in the sky who will make them burn for all eternity if they do so.

Fuck I've been a zombie all week. BRAAAINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florence_Foster_Jenkins Because it was Easter, and that city is poor, so they were out to protect and take your money. I always obey all traffic laws unless I know there isn't a cop about. Even when I drive like a douche though they never even hit me with a light or flip on their siren. I wonder why....

No, but how bout I wear some face paint and act like a tool instead. Oh wait that's half the goth DJs in the scene. :D

Look up "O Fortuna" and you'll fine what you're looking for.

Hell yeah, I'll be there.

You'd think that wouldn't you, but no, this is just going to encourage them to break the law more. When the government won't protect you it's time to start protecting yourselves. Get enough guns and crap together and then go attack the pirates.

No one is coming, it's stupid zombie jesus day and everything is CLOSED! Well... that might be your one saving grace. Even still, unless I'm building sets at Erebus for Nightmare Sinema, I'm not going to Pontiac. I don't have the gas money.

Why do you think I did it all in one block? I wanted it done and out of the way! Also Closer was not my doing, but that was a good mix he did when he did it. If I ever do play Closer though at least it will be the VIDEO!

YOU BITE YOUR TONGUE! We'll never be as bad as that club.

I actually saw them back stage at Pine Knob for Gigantour 07. My boss at I-Rock had tickets and passes and we knew two people on the crew. Fun times but yeah... not really what I'd call dead-line front room material.

Just because I have it doesn't mean I like it. For example, my pop/top40 collection. Not that I'll ever plan on using it again, but I have in the past at certain Mephisto's/other events.

Actually I'd probably laugh them out of the bar. OK, I should say the alternative scene. Not all of it mind you. But at least you can tolerate that and not run out the door. The other stuff I wouldn't tolerate and I'd just be GONE. However industrial mash-ups with rap songs are ok... at the other club. I do hold The Works to a different standard, as I think we all do.

GPS track the cargo. If a ship is lost, find the cargo, find the pirates. Wait till it gets back to their base, find the pirate base.

Wilhelm told me to :( Whatever, he's right in that I have to try to keep everyone happy. He doesn't actually DJ, he just works the back practice system because it's cold back there and I hate cold. Eventually I'll have him working the decks though probably but I'm scared because he really does like crap music. You really want to hear "East Bound and Down" in the middle of your goth night? (I do, but I'm playing for the crowd (mostly)). Anyhow here's the playlist in all it's glory. 22:00 - STEVIE ----- II by Kevin Drumm I Saw a Polysexual by Vadislav Delay From Twisted Minds by Leviathan Leb Doch by Der Plan Paradise Lost & Not Drifting by the New Thrill Parade Monoplazaby John Foxx Menetekel by Les Vampyrettes No Veo by Staccato du Mal DJ Saint (early set) ----- Informatik - A Matter of Time Stromkern - Perfect Sunrise (Blank remix) Plastic - Sense of Life (SITD Mix) Edge of Dawn - Black Heart (Alpha) X Marks the Pedwalk - Maximum Pace New Order - The Perfect Kiss Depeche Mode - Enjoy the Silence Stendeck - Something Special is Going to Happen Rotersand - Storm Daniel Meyer - King of The Club Encphalen - Rise Ginger Snaps - Feel The Rhythm Re.Work - Are You Scary Guy ----- !Marilyn Manson - Personal Jebus (V) !Rob Zombie - Living Dead Girl !Lamb of God - Laid to Rest (V) !Rammstein - Du Reichst so goot (kmfdm remix) !Revolting Cocks - Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?

Joy Division - Transmission The Birthday Party - Release The Bats The Bones - Memphis 77 The Cramps - Human Fly Specimen - Step in Step Out The Mission - Deliverance Siouxsie - Halloween Caustic - The Hustle! STEVIE's final set is lost because he was too drunk to type it in I guess.

I'm not having any PM issues, just in case anyone was wondering :D

In the case of Black Metal yes, good music can make me stand bad vocals. I like melodic metal with harmony, not a bunch of screaming. I think one of my favorite bands is Fear Factory which can do both screaming and singing. Screaming does have it's place but it shouldn't be the entire song. For fucks sake lets kill the vocoder already. It stopped being cool when Cher did it in "Believe". Industrial is different, as is black metal unfortunately. Screaming or screwed up sound from vocals is almost expected. Also rap & modern R&B are just annoying, as is the numetal that tries to take elements of those and blend them in.

I have as much tolerance for them as they do for me, which has always been my stance. There are those that are cool and don't try to push their faith on me and I respect that and am cool with it. Then there are others that... well lets just call them fundies. I can get into heated debate too. Push me hard enough and I'll get delusional too, subgenius style.

Yes but you don't have to do it from there. http://www.myspace.com/thearrogantatheist Those are pretty stylish :D We really need to start wearing our non religion on our sleeves. Although the shirt in the last link in the first post does give money to the Dawkins foundation :D
