<br />
Hi.<br />
<br />
How've you been?<br />
<br />
Yeah, things have been weird here, too.<br />
<br />
I took a solid month's break from spinning regularly. Sorry folks. I really needed it.<br />
<br />
Lots of things have been put into perspective and lots of steps have been made to take care of a lot of shit.<br />
<br />
But it's okay.<br />
<br />
I'm okay.<br />
<br />
You're okay.<br />
<br />
Yes.<br />
<br />
Here's the last set I did at The Box. It was before Xmas, and I wanted to get all up in that yuletide gaiety while I still could. Necromos helped.<br />

<br />
I will be spinning regularly, again, starting this Sunday. Technically I'm kicking things off tonight for a birthday party in Oakland, but, you know. Ninja Lounge will be back on the 22nd this month, but we're keeping the guests on lockdown.<br />
<br />
Don't worry.<br />
<br />
You know I treat you right.<br />
<br />
.<br />
<br />
I have to be honest.<br />
<br />
I've been making music, again, in my time off. My brain was allowed to shift its focus more towards doing that.<br />
<br />
And I want that more.<br />
<br />
So, my brain needs to make a bit of a shift in priorities.<br />
<br />
(But I still love to shake with you guys, as well. Fear not.) <br />
<br />
.<br />
<br />
Oh.<br />
<br />
Yes. <br />
<br />
One more thing.<br />
<br />
I have an idea for a new short story.<br />
<br />

Yes, things are starting to mellow out, slightly. <br />
<br />
Ever so slightly.<br />
<br />
Things are being Managed, Scandals are being Handled, and everything is slowly being brought back together.<br />
<br />
After being smashed into a million fragile little pieces. Wrap a little bow around each of 'em. <br />
<br />
No. Really, they are, now.<br />
<br />
The 14th Anniversary was a smash. Thanks to Kenny and Laurel for helping me out with the decorations in the front, everyone who busted out in the Black Room to make it look just as stellar, the wonderful staff at the Blue Lagoon for hosting our spooky, often vinyl-encased asses for 14 years, and most importantly...<br />
<br />
Every one of you for coming out. <br />
<br />
Thanks.<br />
<br />
Most of these are from the White Room at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/theboxsc">The Box.</a> One will be a summation from Ninja Lounge. <br />

<br />
I have been going through some shit, guys. <br />
<br />
We all have, I suppose. <br />
<br />
But yes, that's what's massively delayed updating this thing.<br />
<br />
I would just like to publicly apologize to anyone who's felt I've been icy or rude to them, this past month or so. I have been needing to keep to myself and meditate on a lot of aforementioned shit, but all around I'm evening out. <br />
<br />
I also don't really use this thing as a soapbox. That being said, it was National Coming Out Day, recently. I didn't really share my story.<br />
<br />
Look. It's like this:<br />
<br />
As a lesbian, my pool is small.<br />
<br />
As a goth/punk-ish lesbian, my pool gets even smaller.<br />
<br />
And as a (quite frankly) awesome goth/punk-ish lesbian, my pool gets <i>EXPONENTIALLY </i>smaller.<br />
<br />
So, let's just say, it can get rough, and very lonely at times.<br />
<br />
And
when I officiated things with myself and decided to inform the rest of
the world who I really am, I accepted that it would be very lonely and
hard. It already had been, leading up to that point, anyway.<br />
<br />
But I had to answer what's right for me.<br />
<br />
And I have put up with some shit from numerous sources.<br />
<br />
I have had to deal with insecure friendships.<br />
<br />
I have had to deal with sexual guilt, frustration and humiliation.<br />
<br />
I have had to numb my strongest sense of being to not get beaten down by that in of itself.<br />
<br />
But I have also grown into a very strong, resilient young woman.<br />
<br />
And
in doing that, I have experienced at least one amazing woman who makes
something shoot through my body that makes me feel beautiful, and worthy
of a warmth my body and soul craves. It makes up for the
bullshit--which is an Everest, at this point.<br />
<br />
And that's how I know.<br />
<br />
.<br />
<br />
Also I used to have pretend romantic dinners with an imaginary girl at the age of six.<br />
<br />
.<br />
<br />
So, thanks. <br />

<br />
I'm in limbo.<br />
<br />
I'm stuck in between multiple worlds.<br />
<br />
It's like Prince, "Controversy":<br />
I just can't believe all the things people say<br />
Am I black or white? Am I straight or gay? <br />
Do I believe in god? Do I believe in me?<br />
I can't understand human curiosity<br />
Was it good for you? Was I what you wanted me to be? <br />
<br />
But at the same time, as confusing as it sometimes may be, at least it's showing me worlds upon worlds of options and ideas.<br />
<br />
And <i>that</i>, if anything, is always a welcomed constant.<br />
<br />

Keeping in line with promoting acts like <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RFPLMzF1gU">Secret Society of the Sonic Six</a> and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uED1KDGVYjY">The Soft Moon</a>, I GREATLY recommend you all check out <a href="https://www.facebook.com/vicedevicemusic">Vice Device</a> via the links provided in the sets. Hailing out of that quirky and often gloomy town of Portland, OR, they play old school analog synths with driving bass lines, creating dark, minimal grooves. Also, a quiet saxophone haunts certain tracks, adding sort of a neo-noir sound to a stripped electronic landscape.<br />
<br />
It basically sounds how Blade Runner plays out, visually.<br />
<br />
Check 'em out.<br />
<br />
.<br />
<br />
In the meantime, the big debut of Weird_POP--a night of off-beat 80s/90s tunes, minimal/new/darkwave, post-punk and indie pop--has been delayed until next month. Sorry folks. Myself and the others involved were pretty excited, but this may be a blessing in disguise.<br />
<br />
It gives me more time to pull out any stops and make it a very cool night for all who attend.<br />
<br />
So, you know, stay put.<br />
<br />
Because it's going to be rad.<br />
<br />
I'll keep you posted.<br />

<br />
And how have you all been?<br />
<br />
I've been getting around, thanks. It's been fun. I've seen/heard new things, and I like it. <br />
<br />
Sprinkled throughout this next bought of playlists are a few bands spread across different genres who you should definitely be checking out, especially if they happen to do any shows around your area. Links to music videos are provided for the ditties played. <br />
<br />
The line-up:<br />
<br />
Secret Society of the Sonic Six - An L.A. duo as eccentric (and stylish) as Gomez and Tish taking influences both musical and aesthetic from sci-fi, b-movies and film noir. Lo-fi spooky grooves deemed fit to be the soundtrack to your own Lynchian cocktail lounge. Delightfully odd/creepy cool.<br />
<br />
The Mystery Lights - Residing in Brooklyn, originally from California, and from some cross-dimensional portal for fans of legitimate 60s garage/70s glam-inspired sounds. Seeing them live is the closest you can get to seeing the real deal ala the likes of The Stooges back in the early 70s. I'm talkin' raw power. (Get it?)<br />
<br />
The Soft Moon - Is amazing. From New York but currently based out of Oakland, they manage to capture the 80s darkwave sound in the same vein as Joy Division flawlessly, injecting it with modern accents. Pure sonic energy. <br />
<br />
Demodulate - Modern EBM/industrial hailing out of San Jose, I enjoy them because Brian Demodulate clearly has a bit of an ear not only for creating hard yet danceable beats with addictive synths, he has a knack for finding specific news blips to add a bit of social commentary to the tunes. "Face Off" features sound bites from one of the most radical stories in the news over the past decade: the 'bath salt' face eater. Good for stomping it out at the club.<br />

<br />
Backlogged again.<br />
<br />
Forgive me.<br />
<br />
You may have noticed, IRL, that I've been a bit MIA, as well.<br />
<br />
Sometimes, completely unexpected things land on you all at once, and you're just kinda sideswiped.<br />
<br />
I've needed a lot of time to process a lot of things. I won't go into details. I don't really want to. Too much. Too many words.<br />
<br />
It just seems there's a lot on everyone's plates, these days..<br />
<br />
A funny story before I hit you with a billion sets I didn't post:<br />
<br />
Last night, at Death Guild (my first time back after a bit of a breather), I was sitting at one of the tables at DNA Pizza, writing in my physical journal, jotting out whatever needed to get out immediately. This sweet gay guy who said what's up to me outside saw me writing away, with a more than likely pensive expression drawn over my face.<br />
<br />
He looks at me and asks, 'Honey, are you okay?'<br />
<br />
Yeah, I'm fine, thanks. Just writing it all out.<br />
<br />
'Okay, well like, you look like you need to smoke a bowl, ASAP.'<br />
<br />
I jokingly said if he had one I would partake, otherwise I'm alright, and thanks for the concern.<br />
<br />
Wonder what it says about your demeanor when the goth/industrial crowd is concerned for your general happiness/well-being, from an objective stance.<br />
<br />
Eh. <br />

I do want to throw out how appreciative I am of everyone's support and concern for whatever it is that's going on. You're all very stand-up individuals. Thank you. <br />
<br />
Alas. This is something this lady must process and sift through on her own. It ain't easy, but I suppose nothing ever really is, at its core. <br />
<br />
Anyway. <br />
<br />
Come say hi to me whenever you see me about town, or at the clubs or what have you. It warms my shriveled heart.<br />

Particularly proud to be part of Black Cat Lounge, as I got to spin that I was raised on, and I think my folks would give a nod of approval (mostly). <br />

Got interviewed by a former teacher for a book she's writing about DJs and club life/pseudo-politics. AWESOME.<br />

<br />
I mentioned wanting to get more into creativity mode. It's coming out, but in different mediums than composing.<br />
<br />
The piano taunt/haunts me.<br />
<br />
Yes, I am intimidated by the instrument.<br />
<br />
But eventually, it will pass. Eventually, I'm going to plug in the power, pull out the chair, and go to town on her.<br />
<br />
In the meantime, to sort of even things out, I've been introduced to awesome musicians who I didn't even know were there this whole time, and reintroduced them to others who may be down to create, as well. So that's paying something forward, isn't it?<br />
<br />
The key thing is not being myself into oblivion over everything. [edit: *beating. Woah, Freudian.]<br />
<br />
(Which is <b>pretty fucking hard</b>, but we'll manage).<br />
<br />
So for DJ stuff...let's do a brief review.<br />

<br />
I'm really trying to focus on recapping my (pretty sweet) sets from this most recent Sunday...<br />
<br />
But I am completely jacked on excitement because <a href="http://www.nickcave.com/news/european-tour-extra-north-american-dates-live-streamed-show/">NICK CAVE AND THE BAD SEEDS ANNOUNCED THEY'RE DOING A SHOW IN SAN FRANCISCO IN APRIL!!!!!</a><br />

<br />
Here's my sets!<br />
<br />
My closing set was punk fucking rock, which makes my heart sing. I got to play Dead Kennedys! Possibly my favorite song of theirs, at that.<br />

<br />
I have been kind of busy lately, sorry about that.<br />
<br />
Let me 'splain:<br />
<br />
I love DJing. I love spinning for <a href="https://www.facebook.com/theboxsc">The Box</a>, and the amazing folks I've met through there. I love dancing at clubs such as our fair one, and Death Guild/Cat Club events up in the city. I act out, I *perform* while I spin...<br />
<br />
But my passion, my drive, is creativity.<br />
<br />
I want to create.<br />
<br />
I want to create my own music.<br />
<br />
Over the past year, I've noticed a lot of my drive has been dedicated to making good sets. And like I said, I really love DJing for you guys...but things are shifting. There is a change in the wind.<br />
<br />
Performing to others' music isn't authentic, for me.<br />
<br />
It's time. <br />
<br />
I will still be spinning, but not as prolifically. I will still be going out to clubs and other events, but not quite as avidly.<br />
<br />
I'd like to make some music, guys. Too many things are pointing me in that direction. <br />
<br />
For now, here's the stuff I've spun dating back to New Year's Eve Eve.<br />

I love you.<br />

<br />
Normally I would be out and about, drinking, smoking and getting angry at the jukebox for not playing my song soon enough. It happens.<br />
<br />
Not tonight, friends. I'm literally waiting for the water to heat up on my stove so I can make some instant Thai tea and be warm. I <i>may</i> even break open the new book I've been reading (<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Lunatic-Heroes-C-Anthony-Martignetti/dp/0988230003/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1356160912&sr=8-1&keywords=lunatic+heroes" target="_blank">Lunatic Heroes by C Anthony Martignetti</a>; damn fine read, he's got a good voice and is very poignant)--OR my new favorite comics, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gloomcookie" target="_blank">Gloomcookie</a>. Possibly both.<br />
<br />
WOAH, WATCH OUT!! WE GOT A REAL WILD ONE OVER HERE! <br />

<br />
Happy holidays, all. I don't care if you celebrate or not, I DON'T CARE. You read this thing and take interest in whatever I'm spinning but also whatever's on my mind, and I really appreciate that. You are awesome, and I'm thankful to have really cool people in my life--directly or indirectly--wanting to give support and props. And be friends.<br />
<br />
So you're the fire lighting my yule log.<br />
<br />
(That's what she said)<br />

Thank you.<br />

<br />
Crazy crazy crazy.<br />
<br />
But it's life. And that's what makes it so...interesting. It's dark, it's light, it's all muddled and grey, but it's something I can feel. It's something to cultivate idears. You're just breathing it all in.<br />

<br />
I'm the youngest child in my (very diverse) family. My two oldest brothers are actually a couple decades older than myself; this has been a blessing, musically, because they introduced me to a thoroughly awesome, exponential variety right from the start.<br />
<br />
My elder brother would listen to New Order and Joy Division while rocking me to sleep. This can explain a number of things about my personality.<br />
<br />
Anyway, they were lucky enough to grow up in Southern California in the early 80s, when Oingo Boingo were really getting going and would play frequent shows at The Roxy in L.A.<br />
<br />
At some point, one of them got this shirt at one of their concerts:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
As a little girl, they passed it onto me, and it became my favorite PJ top.<br />
<br />
And as that same little girl, my favorite films were all Tim Burton: Batman, Edward Scissorhands, Beetlejuice, Nightmare Before Christmas.<br />
<br />
And as a teenager, I finally got around to listening to the group of the favorite childhood PJ top, and I Got It. I understood why the older bros would always want to see them. That voice. The arrangements. <br />
<br />
So I guess you can say, I've had an affinity for Mr. Elfman all my life.<br />
<br />
So it was rad to spin some Oingo Boingo this past Sunday, much to the delight of a very receptive (and varied!) crowd.<br />

<br />
I went to...three shows this week? I believe so. It's kind of been a blur. It started off with a bang, though: I saw GWAR on Monday for the first time ever.<br />
<br />
HOLY BALLS, GUYS. If ever you get the chance to see them, DO IT. I woke up covered in fake blood. Rad!<br />
<br />
Best part about it: totally saw them on a whim with a new friend. One of the best kinds of concert experiences, in my opinion.<br />
<br />

The anniversary was one memorable night for everyone. I'm very proud to have been part of such a monumental occasion. And I am especially flattered to have seen all those smiling faces out there, rocking the right fuck out along with me, at the end there. You guys know how to make a gal feel special. <br />
<br />
Thanks for making our club awesome.<br />

<br />
Here are the lyrics. Any comments/suggestions are welcome.<br />
<br />
.<br />
<br />
She stood there, frozen<br />Still as the mist surrounding<br />Staring<br />Ever watching<br />A Figure cast in Stone<br /><br />Any other day<br />She would dance<br />Entertain<br />Graze wispy fingers <br />Across The Statue's brow<br /><br />Any other day<br />A longing glance<br />An adoring whisper<br />A subtle kiss<br />Upon dulled marble lips<br /><br />Any other day<br />Her love would flourish<br /><br />But today just ain't the same<br />Today just ain't the same<br /><br />An angry fist beat against<br />The Statue's stone chest<br />As hot tears drenched her face<br />She roared<br />She wailed and she roared<br />'Oh god, I love you so'<br />'Oh god, I love you so'<br />And crumpled to the base<br /><br />(Today just ain't the same) [repeated in the background during this next verse]<br />And she rose<br />Balled her hand to a fist<br />Struck out<br />Making contact on the lips<br />Oh, but to her surprise<br />A crimson hand returned<br />And blood dripped down<br />From The Statue<br /><br />And the mouth cracked open<br />As a gentle voice spoke out<br />'Oh god, how I love you so'<br />'Oh god, how I love you so'<br /><br />The Statue reached out a stone hand<br />And wiped away the tears<br />She stepped onto the platform<br />Held The Figure in her arms<br />And as they kissed<br />They grew set in stone<br />In a frozen embrace<br />Still as the mist surrounding<br /><br />Any other day<br />Any other day<br />But today just ain't the same<br />Today just ain't the same...Gabriel Grubhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14031014326216564341noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6015079589544731745.post-55998472312742820972012-10-17T20:03:00.000-07:002012-10-17T23:40:31.927-07:00Bats set listies: Autumn Magic Edition.October is one magical month, friends.
Seeing people actually celebrating the season, putting up spooky decorations, the sight of all the pumpkins, the PUMPKIN FLAVORED EVERYTHING...<br />
<br />
Warms this withered heart of mine.<br />
<br />
.<br />
<br />
Hence I got a kitten.
Her name's Samhain and we love each other very much.
I also got another pumpkin today. That makes two.<br />
<br />
.<br />
<br />
The life things, and embracing of the season, has delayed me from updating this thing.
I'm sorry.
I know I've been delaying updating this thing rather consistently. Sorry, bro. Don't hate.<br />

Guy was in top form, did a half-hour Misfits set as well as a couple encores at the end, and really put on a hell of a performance.<br /><br />But it also reignited something that was dormant within me for the longest time. <br /><br />I'm fixing to go back to the horrorpunk roots, guys.<br /><br />Apologies to those who are more into the oontz. I like the oontz, but it's like...it's like dating this really hot chick you've only met within the year, and the relationship is really great, the sex is awesome, and people think you're a great couple, but something about it doesn't ignite your passion.<br /><br />My horrorpunk love...we had rekindling sex recently and it made me remember why I fell for her in the first place. I like her mohawk and ferocity more than oontz's devil-may-care and PVC corsets (while it would look truly flattering on either). <br /><br />I guess it's an open relationship.<br /><br />Anyway.<br /><br />That metaphor got out of hand.<br /><br />I digress: I spun at <a href="http://clubapparition.com/">Club Apparition</a> this past Thursday, and did just that: one set more punky, the other more oontz. Give the folks what they want, I always say.<br /><br />.<br /><br />.<br /><br />.<br /><br />Bats<br />Club Apparition - San Jose (goth/deathrock/horrorpunk/new wave/industrial/ebm/noisy)<br /><br /><br /><br />I<br /><br />Release the Bats! - The Birthday Party<br />Code Blue - TSOL<br />Romeo's Distress - Christian Death<br />Some Kinda Hate - The Misfits<br />Garbage Man - The Cramps<br />Dead and Buried - Alien Sex Fiend<br />Phantoms - 45 Grave<br />Goodbye Horses - Q Lazzarus<br />Spellbound - Siouxsie and the Banshees<br /><br /><br /><br />II<br /><br />Kiss Them For Me - Siouxsie and the Banshees<br />We Share our Mother's Health - The Knife<br />Army of Me - Björk<br />Rituals (iVardensphere Mix) - God Module<br />Violence - Implant/Angelspit<br />The Siren - Aesthetic Perfection<br />Total Job (Photek Mix) - The Faint<br /><br />.<br /><br />.<br /><br />.<br /><br />'til next time, ladies and gents.Gabriel Grubhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14031014326216564341noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6015079589544731745.post-64334808387783815332012-05-21T23:37:00.003-07:002012-05-21T23:48:22.097-07:00Bat set listies 051312/052012I'm actually pretty tired, so there won't be much of a witty intro this time around.

Rad.
