Even though I have a million things to do today, I decided to record a new podcast. The last one I did was way back in June 2008 - 10 months ago. Whoa. I didn’t have a direct plan when I started recording, so as usual, the music selection is all over the place. That’s just me. I started out with Sex Gang Children “Mauritia Mayer”…the long version. Looking back, it’s probably a little too long for an opener.

I’d like to more podcasting, but we’ll see if life will allow it. Wouldn’t it be nice if I could do one at least once a month? You’ll also notice, I updated the site theme. I’ll probably do a bit more tweeking in the next week or so.

IMPORTANT NOTE: THE URL FOR THE PODCAST RSS FEED HAS CHANGED. UPDATE YOUR SUBSCRIPTIONS TO: HTTP://WWW.DARKCULTURE.NET/PODCASTS/DC_PODCAST.XML

In case you hadn’t noticed, Dark Culture is on hiatus - working things out and figuring out our next move. Stay tuned.

Readers of Dark Culture and Citizens of the United States,

If you’re not already registered to vote, deadlines are FAST approaching. Many are calling this the most historical election in decades. It is, at least in our lifetime. At the very least, you should care about what happens in your city and state. Local measures are always on the ballot - which directly effect you and your family. As they say, if you don’t vote, you can’t complain.

If you’re not yet registered, Google has implemented a new service which makes it SOOOOOO easy. All you have to do is type in your zip code. All the information you need is there.

Election Day is November 4th.

Bet you didn’t know that legendary deathrocker, Dinah Cancer, sells all kinds of things on eBay. Me neither. At this time, it appears she’s cleaning out her closets, so along with vintage Penis Flytrap items, you can also find 45 Grave shirts, clothing, jewelry, Bauhaus posters, and more. Check it out.

Free Music, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways. Here’s one: Sex Gang Children’s “I’m Bored” - which is featured on various compilations including “Grave Dwellers”, Dripping With Spunk, and 25 Years of CBGB’s 1976-2001.

P.S. Don’t bother with the Grave Dwellers comp. I don’t know who puts these things together, but they’re always so horrible and sound as though some record company is trying to reach out to underground genres by picking music that LOOKS Goth or Punk - forget about how it sounds. And most times, you only get one or two songs that are any good, so it’s better to buy the artist’s full album.

I love this girl. In fact, I WAS this girl! She’s standing up for her right to be an individual in a school that wants to crush her spirit and rip her uniqueness from her. Bravo! Keep up the fight Amelia. Take it from me, it’s all worth it!

I’ll be writing to Mountain Grove Middle School to give them a piece of my mind. If you’d like to do the same, here’s their address:

Mountain Grove Middle School
