FoolishPeople present A Red Threatening Sky; an immersive Valentine’s event combining performance, art installation and investigative interaction to create Club Aethereus; a strange and surreal underworld of Gnostic Noir. A place where crime, passion, the sacred and profane all cast one shadow.
The Valentinian. Harry wakes with no memory of how he arrived inside the club. He has been contracted to find a missing person. Pearl.
The Hotel room. Her hands and feet are bound and a hood hides her face. Teddy boy philosopher Roy Boutling watches the prize for the club’s owner. Sebastian Qyain.
The Aviary. The birds song has become distressed. The ornithologist Miss Moreau waits for her lover, a man whose face she has never seen. The Dance Floor.
The showgirls receive a letter from Sebastian Qyain. It contains the revised ending of the Valentine’s show at Club Aetherus, directing them in a horrifying act.
Opening hour approaches under a red threatening sky.
You are invited to enter and investigate the mystery of love’s final destination, in a unique experience honoring the earliest traditions and rituals of courtship and union.
A Red Threatening Sky examines the nature of love, an unrelenting force which pervades all our lives from the moment we are born until the day we die.
It follows FoolishPeople's sell-out run of The Abattoir Pages, where they partnered with Guerrilla Zoo for their third open source meta event at the Old Abattoir, and the critically acclaimed Cirxus, which was performed at The Arcola.
THE MICK 50 and THE MICK 51 are both now up for free download.
THE MICK 51 is a trim little Xmas Special as there haven’t been enough editions of THE MICK this year for people to automatically thrill to chance of being in this. It’s still very cute.
By contrast THE MICK 50 is a bit of a monster. 62 reviews, of various hues, some delightful and odd photos, and then the Big Stuff.
There are interviews with the memorably mysterious (((S))), the wilfully provocative Action Directe, the sleekly combustible Collide, the fiendishly cavorting Deathcamp Project, the dangerously deranged La Peste Negra, the lyrically lethal Philip Butler and the stupendously sumptuous Scarlet Leaves.
The biggest aspect is the Appeal For Phoenix Marie, with her remarkable and touching life story coming through a combination of interview and photos, as well as examples of the photos from her, Jody Elliott and myself that can be purchased towards paying her medical expenses, to prevent any acceleration of brain damage at a time when just one year of treatment could pull her back from the brink and lead to a pretty normal, active life again.

She has banners designed in various colours to fit most page layouts. If you can then move her page into your top friends it would also be extremely helpful.
IMPORTANT - I am publicising this through various LJ communities, on Deathrock and via my own myspace pages and bulletins, but you will all frequent places totally different that I know nothing about. If any of you post on Goth forums can you please make a post including the urls and details above please? That will spread the word. I don't usually ask people to help promote an issue but THE MICK 50 needs to be seen by as many people as possible. I am also seriously crap at using Facebook, so if anyone who enjoys that knows how to circulate the news it would be much appreciated also. Cheers!
I have received a few emails telling me that the FREE INNER-X-MUSICK sampler over at "THE OTHER SOUND: ISSUE 2012" is hard to find. Soooo. I have placed a link in the opening post. It's at the bottom of the post and highlighted in YELLOW.

FLOUNCING ABOUT
like a spotlit cartoon, he's a moment he's

alive and half awake enough to brush his teeth with crystal
meth with entourage of gnats and flies for a fan Club
Boy flexes a smile wide as a billboard shiny
synthetic and white as asbestos stirred up, mainlined
prepped right out of the can because
life is like a bare-boned rig, he

Boy's latest con- versation with mirrors, his bulls-

Nick Tharcher interview with Mona Magick: mp3 And you can check out the gSpot interview with Nick Tharcher and Linda Miller ,and wade through the ensuing mayhem if you feel ambitious.
"Goetia [refers to] all the operations of that Magick which deals with gross, malignant or unenlightened forces." Goetia is sometimes thought of as a wild card, something that can get out of control, something which expresses the operator's lower desires to control others and improve his own personal life. And, in fact, this potential loss of control, this danger, the desire for self improvement and great power is exactly what attracts many people to Goetia while horrifying and repelling others.
Crowley's Goetia is brought to life with vivid illustrations of the demons. Commentary by DuQuette and Hyatt bring the ancient arts into the modern day.
For the first time, a genuine manual of the dreaded "left-hand path." Braving the new Witchcraft Panic that has swept the world, S. Jason Black and Christopher S. Hyatt have written a book that places the Western magical tradition --- and the Western psyche --- in perspective.
Sweeping aside both the historical fabrications of "neo-paganism" and the rampant mental illness of the religious right, Black and Hyatt explore history, psychology and anthropology to reveal the true "secret doctrine" of Western culture. This work confronts the reader with his own fears and inhibitions --- and carries him beyond.
Comprehensively illustrated, this volume contains a detailed history of European "Black Magic" and includes new editions of 17th and 18th century Grimoires with detailed instructions for their use. Extensively illustrated.

Welcome to "THE OTHER SOUND: ISSUE 2012". Spread out here is the blog version of what was going to be a print magazine re-deux of the early 1980's magazine published by John Zewizz - "The Other Sound". There were 8 issues printed before the magazine stopped being pressed. My original idea was to bring it back to press... However, after arranging the pages and setting up to go to print... I discovered it would have cost too much to make it affordable. So, I decided not to let the work go to waste... and make it a free zine/blog.
"THE OTHER SOUND: ISSUE 2012" has been a labor of love for quite sometime. Inside you will find information about various Inner-X-Musick artists (SLEEPCHAMBER, VEIL OF THORNS, GRAMMAL SEIZURE), as well as Friends on Inner-X-Musick (Cultural Asylum, KayTwo), and items that just interest me (Reviews, Ruth White, CHI-KITTY). Finally also included in this online version of the zine is a free download sampler of the 2009 releases by Inner-X-Musick (coming soon). A Special thank you goes to John Zewizz, Banshee Goldman, P. Emerson Williams, and KayTwo for their help and support.
"THE OTHER SOUND: ISSUE 2012" is set up for easy browsing. You can choose a topic from the "Sections" spot on the side bar, or choose a topic from the "Blog Archive" from the side bar, simply scroll through the document or use the following Links;
My hope is that from reading THE OTHER SOUND you will become inspired. The only goal is to bring you interesting reading and knowledge not found else where - at least in the manner we have assembled them. In the words of John Zewizz; "In a dehumanizing world one must feel tied in somehow. If not they be lost in confusion to what they feel iz real. We hope you realize the importance ov our goals. To share experiences ov the real world. theze are the interests we hope to share with others- (you)."

The world we inhabit is ever-changing, the way that music is produced and consumed is also ever-changing. The old meritocratic “pop star” system is in a state of freefall and the people are claiming back what is rightfully theirs, the music! It’s music that defines their community and speaks directly to them about their lives, love and values. The internet is causing this change in many ways. One such way is the evolution of social networking sites and subcultural specific sites. One such site is www.praysilence.org. This site’s aims are to serve and reflect the Gothic subculture and to promote the music that is at the very heart of this community. This CD is the product of that. On this CD you will find totally cutting edge Gothic and Gothic evolved tracks by some of the hottest bands to have emerged from the scene in the last decade. We are calling it the “Internet Gothic Revolution” - be a part of this and buy/stock this CD today. You can tell your children that “you were there!”
Sales Points The Nightbreed Label has achieved legendary status in the post Gothic industrial underground. Top underground Gothic and Gothic evolved bands are involved. First all-new Nightbreed compilation album in a number of years. Previous editions from this compilation series have made some bands into (Gothic) household names in the scene. Very controversial label, everything the label does generates interest within the scene. Most of the tracks on this album are currently exclusive to this collection. Big “scene” DJ servicing campaign planned. With solid global support from “Radio Nightbreed” whose listenership now exceeds 80,000! (http://listen.radionomy.com/radio-nightbreed.m3u) Promotional video clips will be released at the same time as the CD in order to promote this release, as well as a well promoted multimedia event in London with a number of follow-up events being planned for early to mid 2010. The label’s work is highly regarded by top movers and shakers in the both the underground, and mainstream music scene.

In conversation with Rachel Haywire about the good old BBS days, music, art and all sorts of goodies. Since this is a special holiday show, they just talked and talked and talked, with no fascist concepts of clocks or calendars. Chaos Never Died! ========= Music this week by Rachel Haywire. Song 1: Dark Discordia Song 2: Mean Enough Hot Enough (Savage Ideal Dance Club Forsaken mix)
Rachel Haywire is a reality terrorist from the metaphysical gutters of post-apocalyptic hell. She has an article out in the disinfo anthology “Generation Hex” entitled “Eris is My Biatch.” She also has two songs coming out on a compilation called Women Take Back the Noise. Besides annihilating reality and deconstructing sound, Rachel Haywire spends her time traveling from city to city and country to country. She likes long walks on the beach and lunatic street riots.
the debut album “aurum nostrum non est aurum vulgi” (to be released by aural music) is receiving its last, finishing touches right now. audio is being finalized, artwork is being worked on, things have been dissolved and coagulated a lot of times… so, we have a lot of temporary audio, sketches, and stepping stones lying around, and here’s your chance to hear some of it. and there’s even more over @myspace. more info about the album soon…
There is a theme, but an as yet nebulous one. I'm pulling together phenomena and experiences connected with art movements of the last hundred years and the corresponding societal upheavals that ran concurrently and which had an enormous impact on the birth, life and death of those art movements.
At the same time, I'm meditating on the similarities and interconnectedness of art and cultural groups and cults, magickal groups, religions, philosophical paradigm shifts and the growth they spur as well as the devastation they leave in their wake, both psychick and materially manifest.
And there's a book I'm desperately looking for, don't know the name of it, but its effect on people who read it seems to have been similar to the fictional King in Yellow.

From the Veil of Thorns album "Salon Apocolypse". "Salon Apocolypse" and "Necrofuturist" were recorded during the same time.
Both albums grew out of the process of working on "The Abattoir Pages" as part of FoolishPeople. The intention was to finish "Salon Apocalypse", as the concept I had been working with for this release was in the same realm that John Harrigan tapped into for "Abattoir Pages". Through countless sleepless nights and days of madness, "Necrofuturist" wrote itself as a further expansion of the studies and current we were working with. I would not have chosen to take on so much in such a short period of time, but I really had no choice in the matter.
"Salon Apocalypse", "Necrofuturist" and "Abattoir Pages" are inextricably linked, through current and source materials, all preparing the ground for "Pleasure", for which all this work is a mere prologue.
Nov. 15th, 2009 @ 04:18 am
Yep, after nearly two years the Small World is back in action.
We just heard an excerpt from The H.P. Lovecraft Literary Podcast (http://www.hppodcraft.com), which is actually an excerpt from H.P. Lovecraft’s short story, The Picture in the House.
Chris Lackey and Chad Fifer are the host of the H.P. Lovecraft Literary Podcast and we’ll talk with them shortly. But before we talk with Chris and Chad I’m going to very quickly bring you up to speed with what I’ve been up to.
Back in late 2007 the Small World website was hacked. Hacked so badly that I had to nuke the entire database and start from scratch. That really took the wind out of my sails because starting from scratch meant updating the site with 496 shows.
And to be completely honest, I was more than a little burnt out. I had produced nearly 500 shows and the workload was taking it’s tole on me. I had to arrange the interview. do the interviews and then produce three shows a week. And remember, this is a labor of love, not a paying gig.
So when my site was hacked it was the final straw.
Since then I’ve been producing a show called Solipsistic Nation, where I play the best of all genres of electronic music. Along with playing great music I also interview people from the electronic music community: musicians, record labels, festival organizers, etc.
If NPR produced had an electronic music show then it would sound a lot like Solipsistic Nation.
Producing Solipsistic Nation is a lot of fun but I’ve always had that itch ti interview people about things that fascinate me that have nothing to do with electronic music. When Joe Matheny suggested that I archive the Small World on Alterati I thought it would be a perfect time to re-launch the Small World on a twice a month basis, which is a workload I can handle.
You’re probably asking yourself: what the hell is Alterati?
Alterati is like a word that you don’t know the exact definition of but you know what it means. Rather than try to explain Alterati to you right now, we’ll talk to Joseph Matheny, Alterati’s founder, on the next show and have him explain it.
So… let’s get to today’s show.
As I mentioned, our guests are Chris Lackey and Chad Fifer. Chris and Chad produce the H.P. Lovecraft Literary Podcast and H.P. Lovecraft was a science fiction slash horror writer who died in 1937.
You may or may not know Lovecraft but his writings have had an amazing impact on popular culture: from movies and comics like Hellboy to bands like Metallica and Black Sabbath. He’s also had a profound impact on writers like Stephen King, Jorge Luis Borges and Neil Gaiman.
The H.P. Lovecraft Literary Podcast treats the work of Lovecraft with a deft touch. Each week features excerpts from one of Lovecraft’s stories accompanied with insightful and often hilarious commentary from Chris and Chad.
Today’s incidental music was provided by Veil of Thorns with the track “The Reflection” from their album, Necrofuturist. You can hear more of their Necrofuturistic music at http://www.veilofthorns.com
We’re going to keep with the funnier side of H.P. Lovecraft and close the show with a bit from Smart Bomb Radio with “Cthulhu Is My Co-pilot” and Tom Smith’s “Cthulhu Fthagn.”
An ambient video for the Abattoir Pages production by Foolish People and Guerrilla Zoo. Based on Atu XVIII the Moon card in the Tarot, this is a collaborative piece using 2D artwork by P. Emerson Williams and audio by Zane Kanevsky.
"THAT'S ROMANCE: A Loving Tribute To John Zewizz" is exactly that. A tribute to the legendary American Industrial Musick pioneer John Zewizz. Featuring songs spanning John's long and vaired career by artists from all over the world.
Released via FOAMIN' SODOMY RECORDS in conjunction with the KILL YOUR GODZ web page.
In anticipation of the upcoming performance of The Abattoir Pages, Joseph Matheny in conversation with John Harrigan about anything and everything that comes to their mind.
Guerrilla Zoo and FoolishPeople present The Abattoir Pages, a terrifying immersive Halloween experience, hosted in a vast, secret subterranean landscape that was once one of London’s largest abattoirs.
The Abattoir Pages combines immersive performance, art installation, haunting and treasure hunt-style activity to form a labyrinth of mystery and horror, exposing the earliest Gaelic and Pagan rites. Once inside, audience members will be free to explore the abandoned underground chambers, join the secret party or may be caught in the middle of the most terrifying of puzzles.
This Hallowe’en, the infamous horror author Helen Mayer will hold court at a debauched secret party. She will share the perverse and warped research conducted inside the old abandoned abattoir, which was the genesis of her greatest work. In this dark playground, the very nature of human terror has been tested, abused and fed into the living story ‘The Forest’.
The author invites you to solve the puzzle and unlock the terrifying history within the old and powerful pages hidden throughout the slaughterhouse. Each holds a key to learning the truth of an ancient tale, which will ensure your survival.
Tonight, a debt will be repaid to blood dishonoured. An eternal nightmare rises up from the depths of the dark boreal forest, in the shadow of the mountain. It comes to feed on new meat inside an old abattoir.
We are proud to announce our first confirmed collaborators for 'The Abattoir Pages'. We're looking forward to working with such a talented group of artists and writers- I would recommend delving further into their work via their websites.
Jenny Reina & Bryony Henderson- The Hunter Gatherers
Due to the overwhelming response to the 'The Abattoir Pages' we're pleased to announce that we've added another date to the run.
'The Abattoir Pages' now closes on the 1st of November instead of the 31st of October. We also have an extra matinee performance on the 1st of November at 4:00pm.

Hello! I’m back!
