Here we go again – DarkCulture.Net
*sigh*
I keep getting these little notices from my web host telling me that my domain is about to expire. This one, the one for Dark Culture. The last few years, whenever the renew notice comes, I’ve sat around thinking about what I should do and thinking how I really let Dark Culture fall by the [...]
Close Call
OMG! I thought I might have killed my blog. And then I thought, holy crap! Five years of blogs and memories, gone, just like that! How could this have happened, you ask? Well, I have two domains. www.kristensimental.com and www.darkculture.net. The Dark Culture blog (formally a fully loaded webzine and formallly gothicpreservation.com) is located in [...]
Internet Zombie Movie
Repost from DarkCulture.Net
So there’s this really adorable girl on YouTube that, because she’s adorable and has created amusing videos, has a pretty large following. She goes by the name Paperlillies and has tons of fan-boys e-stalking her. Turns out, she’s come up with a really great idea for an internet film aptly titled “Internet [...]
Peter Murphy – House of Blues – June 5th
You know when the Beatles played the Ed Sullivan show and the camera pans out to the crowd and the teenage girls are just going absolutely bonkers? That’s kind of what I felt like last night at the Peter Murphy concert.
Still getting over a wicked flu, I couldn’t miss Peter and bought a ticket. [...]
Podcast? What?
Wow. It’s been months and months since I’ve done a podcast. Last one was October last year! Holy cow! For those few who still wonder about it and think back fondly to when I did them once a week, all I can is…I still plan on doing them. I love them so. Life has been [...]
The Coolest Thing I’ve Ever Recycled
In the continued effort to pack, go through things, and recycle, I finally started going through years of Dark Culture incoming press kit mailers – two bins worth. Well, I made it through one anyway. I was left with a bevy of old CD’s; some I wanted, some I didn’t need anymore. I was also [...]
To hiatus or not to hiatus…
Almost everyday, I’m *this* close to shutting down Dark Culture. It’s not that I’ve fallen out of love with it, it’s just not as easy to run anymore. When I started the zine 10 years ago, I was working part time jobs and had plenty of time to devote to updates, writing, and maintenance. I [...]
The Saga Continues and Ends
My favorite part of most angry letters is the fact that most people tend to make a point of telling me how much they don’t care what I think. They obviously care enough to write a letter with an inordinate amount of CAPITALIZATION. Inaction is the true result of no concern. But you already know this. [...]
Your Kommunity FK Review Equals Slander
Over the last handful of years, I’ve managed to garner a reputation as a bitch in certain circles. I’m a bitch because I’ve always done things my way. I’ve never kowtowed to labels, bands or club promoters, and I’ve always spoken my mind. As a writer with an audience, I’ve always felt indebted to tell [...]
SnackBoy Died
Before video blogging was all the rage, before YouTube and MySpace, streaming video on the net was hard to find. Just five years ago, the world was still “catching on” to this thing called the Internets, which as you know, is a series of tubes. You didn’t have the over-abundance of video we have now. [...]
