New books

Hello to the world of the paranormal! I’m here to get to know people
with similar spooky interests, but also to draw people’s attention to a
book I have recently written called “The Kaluza Concept”, which is now available on via Lulu Publishing in dead tree format or as a PDF download.
http://kaluzaconcept.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/kaluza-concept.jpg
The book draws on such diverse fields as Relativity, Quantum
Physics, M-Theory and “fringe” Psychology to construct a version of
reality which not only allows for, but demands, the survival of
consciousness after physical death!
Watch this space and I’ll keep you posted!
Meanwhile, I’m up for any discussion topics which spring to mind!

Anniversary Circle

 This is  Mick Mercer new book  featuring  Anniversary Circle,

 It’s a billiant read for anyone into Goth music, dark wave, inustrial, goth metal ect…….

This is what Mick has to say

My fifth book concerning Goth has now arrived. It is 624 pages long, containing individual entries on 3,581 different bands, from 70 countries, with 183 photos. It covers bands from the beginning of these scenes to the present day and wherever possible contains full line-up details and discographies as well as unusual facts revealed by many of the bands. This is the biggest guide ever printed about the underground scenes in which Goth, Post-Punk and all things noir co-exist with equal splendour….All bands included will be messaged through myspace to let them know it is now out and to ask if they’ll add to my page set up for the book -
http://www.myspace.com/musictodieforbymickmercer 
- and if they could please include it in their Top Friends? The more people that find out about the book the more people find out about the bands, and everyone benefits. Please also feel free to let people know about the book via your own page about your own inclusion. (It will take me about a month to contact everyone so if people could send add requests to that page it would help me cut down the amount of time this will all take. Thanks!)….
You can find this on Amazon, Barnes & Noble (etc) but if possible please use the link below to buy direct from the publisher. They accept Paypal and for such a chunky book they’re doing a very cheap deal on postage. They have shown faith in Goth and have their own excellent series of Goth CD releases so I think it is only right people buy through them if at all possible.This time around I am delighted to have discovered details on many countries I had never been able to infiltrate before. The world unfolds as follows:

Argentina - 31, Australia - 75, Austria - 22, Belarus - 3, Belgium - 28, Bolivia – 7, Brazil – 53, Bulgaria – 11, Canada – 77, Chile – 24, Colombia – 28, Costa Rica – 2, Croatia – 6, Cuba – 2, Czech Republic - 13, Denmark – 12, Ecuador – 4, Egypt – 3, Estonia – 2, Falkland Islands – 2, Finland – 47, France – 174, Germany – 346, Greece – 35, Greenland – 1, Hungary – 7, Indonesia – 1, Ireland – 13, Israel – 2, Italy – 172, Japan – 25, Kazakhstan – 2, Latvia – 3, Lebanon – 2, Liechtenstein – 4, Lithuania – 11, Luxembourg - 1, Macedonia – 5, Malta – 1, Mexico – 60, Monaco – 1, Netherlands – 49, New Zealand – 14, Norway – 28, Pakistan – 1, Paraguay – 3, Peru – 6, Philippines – 8, Poland – 36, Portugal – 55, Puerto Rico – 9, Romania – 20, Russia – 70, Serbia – 1, Singapore – 2, Slovak Republic – 6, Slovenia – 3, South Africa – 4, Spain – 84, Sweden – 93, Switzerland – 31, Thailand – 5, Turkey – 6, UK – 579, Ukraine - 11, United Arab Emirates – 1, Uruguay - 5, USA – 1092, Venezuela – 6 and Yugoslavia – 5.

Musically we have representatives from these distinct and Goth-related genres:

‘Alt’ (covering a multitude of sins) – 336, Ambient – 71, Classical/Ethereal – 33, Comedy – 1, Deathrock – 12, Electro – 99, Electronic(a) – 79, Folk/Country – 67, Glam – 11, Gothic – 1042, Gothic/Metal – 449, Historical – 4, Horror – 25, Indie – 99, Industrial – 117, Other/Exp/Minimalist – 135, Post-Punk – 356, Psychobilly – 93, Punk/New Wave – 234, Rock – 238, Shoegaze/Psychedelic – 36 and Surf/Garage – 44.

Please spread the word now that it’s out! I hope you find it worthwhile and useful, and I obviously want as many people as possible to do likewise. Your help in circulating the news is much appreciated.

Tribute to Cracklin Radio

Since 2005 Cracklin Radio has been on the air through live 635 playing what can only be described as great music. The eclectic mix of music was put together by Eric Wincentsen who has continued to inspire and promote us as we have been lucky enough to have our music played on his show. But sadly at the end of the month Cracklin radio will be no more as Eric is moving on to better things. I would like to take this opportunity to say Thank you Eric Thank you for playing our music. Anniversary Circle
   Eric In his own words Yes, it is official.  At the end of this month, Cracklin’ Radio is shutting down.  Cause of demise?  Lack of listenership.  Currently it takes about five to seven hours to update the station every two weeks and, recently, I have had few people tune in on a weekly basis.  Listenership right now is less than it was when I first started the station.I have often been confused on the reason why.  Many of you have contributed music, so I’m sure you know how great the music mix is.  I have tried everything I can to promote it with practically no budget.  The only solid piece of evidence is something that I have had to gradually come to grips with: as much as people say they want a variety in music, most people just want to hear the same old garbage played on the terrestrial station.  I’m sure you see that same phenomena.  Listen to a friend go through their iPod sometime.  They may have hundreds of great tracks, but most that offer the slightest bit of challenge they skip over unless they are “in the mood” for the song.  In fact, they probably sit there and play the latest Britney track over and over again.So, what’s in the future?  The title of this page will be changing at the beginning of March to Vinyl Casserole, which is my main show on LG73.ca.  I play a similar mix of music during that three-hour show, and I seem to have more listenership during those three hours than I have for a full month on my own station.  It may be the fact that I do the show live, or possibly that LG73 has such a long, established identity that people will just listen out of curiosity.  Whichever it may be, I feel much more satisfied with the results from that station.
That said, I will be going back to two shows.  The 21st Century Schizoid Show will begin this coming Saturday (I believe) from 12:00 - 2:00 pm Pacific time on alternating weekends.  It’s the same time as another popular show, Calliope Hijacked, but that show is only on infrequently, so I’ll be on whenever they are not.  What’s so special about the new show?  Well, it will only be featuring music released from 2001 forward.  That means I will still be playing all the great new music I receive.  The good news is that it will probably reach a larger audience than before.
As for doing my own station, that is on hiatus until I make a few decisions.  If it does come back, it will probably not be on Live365, and will probably be named Vinyl Casserole after my main show, so I’ll already have a name to sell.  The reason for not being on Live365 is because it may give me a chance to put the station iTunes, with the potential of at least getting the same audience as my live shows do.So, in conclusion, thank you for all your support.  It’s been a good run, but it is now time to move on to better things.

Two New Videos For Understand!!!

“This superbly dark song highlights the hopelessness of the ordinary person in the face of advancing, uncaring, militaristic capitalism, which sacrifices the very human fabric of society to pursue its ends of superpower domination in the name of democracy.
The video, peppered with images of urban decay and memorials to happier times, takes the listener on an eye-opening trip through a society ultimately in decline, the author of its own doom, the dregs of society hung out to dry and die in the cold, unmourned.
We try to understand, but does society as a whole ultimately care?”

See Me (I Can’t See You)

New video from Anniversary Circle
See Mee ( I Can’t See You )

See me(I can’t see you) is about mixing your drinks and then trying to find your way home. (speaking as a man of experience) You know the way it goes, you start with the cider over the Ice, then a glass or two of red wine followed by a shot of what takes your fancy.Then you stand up and ok you feel fine. Then you walk out of the public house and in to the fresh air where you find your focus starts to zoom in and out and right becomes left and left becomes right.
The middle of the road feels like the pavement and the vehicle that heading towards you looks like a friendly person to ask the way home.
Eventually you jump in a cab but can’t remember your address. The cab driver heads down the high street at approx 30 mph and your head starts to spin and the inevitable happens. The driver stops gets out and throws you out onto the street where you proceed to talk to strangers who take a wide birth. Apart from that one person who steals your wallet before you pass out.
The next morning you find yourself waking up in someones back garden without your trousers or your shoes.
Let it be a warning to all who mix their drinks or at least miss out the red wine.

Read Between the lines

read-between-the-lines.jpg

Whilst we try to understand the rudiments and theory’s of the Anniversary Circle we have to take a step back without judgment to try and figure out what they are all about.They have been labelled as Goth, Traditional Goth, and Post Punk and as quoted by Jimmy Percy “Spacey Wacsey”. Which one can understand when their songs are about streetlights that project no sense (or is that nonsense) abstrack ghosts that fall down the stairs, falling asleep at the wheel. But their latest penned song called Understand is about war politics and what the band themselves call superpower terrorism. Is it a natural progression for band influenced by the eighties? The answer is no the band is from the Eighties.Martin and Keith grew up in what was once thriving mining community in South Yorkshire which now almost none existent. But as the mists begin clear you begin to see where their influence lies. Lets be honest when you have been well and truly shafted by Margaret Thatcher and still come out of the other side singing about tissues in the air and spilling tea you have got to have lived through the Eighties even if it smells birt romantic.With their dark rumblings, spacey vocals and coming from the eighties their music is firmly planted in the present and the future. They are a band that are the flowers that break through the cracks in the pavement.
