My friends William Faith and Monica Richards, known to their fans as Faith & The Muse, are beginning what they are calling the most important work of their lives - it's called "Ars Terra", and it's an Eco-Animal Sanctuary about 60 miles north of L.A., 160 acres of natural beauty and wonder that they are dedicated to preserving, protecting, and nourishing....to learn more, read about AT on their website at this link:
Funds are urgently needed to help make this wonderful project a reality, and I want to do my part, so I have scoured Raven Radio's music library and compiled a huge lot of CDs - 64 of them, to be exact - to put up for auction on eBay.
100% of the money raised in this auction will be sent to William and Monica for Ars Terra. The shipping fee of $6.89 is what the post office tells me it will cost to send this 14+ pound box, filled with hours of great music, to the lucky person who wins the auction.
A complete list of the CDs in the lot can be viewed at the eBay listing:
If you enjoy gothic, industrial, and darkwave music, this would be a great way to enhance your music library AND support a worthy cause at the same time!
If you are NOT interested in bidding, then PLEASE forward this email to everyone you know who enjoys this type of music. The more bids we get, the more money I can send to Ars Terra. Your support is very badly needed and very much appreciated!
Please also feel free to send some $ directly to Ars Terra yourself : )
Thank you..........Rev. MDG

Hello, I am looking to open up a gothic clothing/accessory store online! I am looking for 1 person who would be interested in working with me. I would like to make shirts, purses, skirts, hair accessories, choker necklaces, etc..for the online store. We could make these items using different materials, like black velvet, crushed velvet, embroidery...very beautiful materials!
Also, I don't have a sewing machine, so the person I work with would have to own one. I have never used a sewing machine, but I would be willing to learn how. I can come up with many different design ideas however. Then, I can help assist you with the materials and the sewing.
Once we have some items made, we can then get our own store website. If someone is interested in buying one of our items, then they can e-mail one of us.
I also think these colors would be cool to use for items-black, dark red, dark purple, blue, green, some white..it just depends on what we are creating.
I am looking for someone who is motivated, loves gothic clothes/accessories, is honest and a hard worker.
I live in Waterford, Michigan. So, if you live close to Waterford, Michigan, then I would love to hear from you!
Hope to hear from you soon,
Sarah.
Here is my e-mail address-ZywickiS@aol.com

Hey, Sean! John McNichol/formerly John Coleman again! How goes it?
Well, we had baby number 6 last summer. Life is getting more and more like that old Talking Heads song: "How did I get here?" Things are going GREAT! I love your show! My own radio show out here bit the dust on KBVM after 3 years, but I bounced back. I've signed a contract to get my book published, but you kno whow it goes...it don't mean nuthin', til you have the thing in your hands!
God bless. Say hi to the folks for me!
Your friend always,
John

I've seen your stuff on Revver.com and like it. Please stop. I don't need the competion for weirdness. Haha, just kidding . . . sort of. There's a very informative site about uploading to Revver and the Revver culture at Revverberation.com and I have a blog at http://marquisdejolie.blogspot.com/ where I'm going to feature your latest Revver entry under the title "Stiff Competition For My Weirdness Niche."
Love your music, too.

Thanks, Marquis! It always warms my heart to hear that someone out there enjoys my stuff. Wierdness is an art, 'tis true! And you can bet your bottom dollar there's plenty more wierdness to come in the weeks and months ahead.
Glad you like my tunes, too! Ben and I will be working on a pile of new Two Guys and An Effects Box stuff soon, and actually have our first album on its way very shortly (just putting the finishing touches on it as we speak). Keep tabs on my blogs for updates...muwahahaha!
I'll definately swing by and have a look at your stuff too. Wierdos of the world unite!

I'm hoping to create a draft of something for the guys at work which requires some tunes and I've found alot of yours suit it fine. I was wondering if it was ok to use your music in the draft.
Posted on Dec 19, 2005, 1:46 PM from IP address 58.105.43.73
Sure thing, that's cool. The only thing I would ask is that credit be given (which I'm sure you figured anyway). The only time I would ask for some kind of liscencing fee or whatever is if it was going to be used in a commercial project of some kind. But if it's just for what is essentially a non-profit demo, then the only "payment" I would ask for is credit for being the dude who did the music and a link to the website wouldn't hurt either...).
Fire me an e-mail, let me know which songs you'd like to use, and I'll send you higher quality versions to use than the ones on the website (I have CD-quality versions I can send as high-bitrate mp3's).
In semi-related news, I should be a little more available shortly, as my current temp job ends on the 30th. So if the audio drama is still a go (I was under the impression it was pretty much a dead project by now, but if you're still game to go then so am I!), then I'll get those lines to you some time in the first two weeks of January.

Hey Asmnoo, since you seem to be the single most keen member of this board, how would you like to be the official moderator? As you may have noticed, I don't really have much time to keep constant tabs on this place, and I KNOW you would embrace the opportunity to get yet another message board hopping... What sayest thou, oh lecherous demonic one?

Hmmm...special P-O-W-E-R-S, eh? I suppose that could be arranged...
How about being able to change the layout of the board whenever you like? Or ban the ISP's of troublemakers? If you change the colorscheme I'd have to kill you, thoug, as it's specially formulated using hand-picked beans by Juan Valdez to match the colorscheme of my web site.

I would like to invite any and all to visit my new site, entitled "Goth By Nature". It contains hundreds of links to Gothic/dark sites in a wide variety of topics, such as goth graphics, email sigs, dark midis & music, Gothic bands & album reviews, tons of clothing & accessories links, gothic magazine links and online 'zines, a poetry page where you can submit your dark poetry, a Gothic E-card shoppe, and much more. It also contains a Gothic community page called "Speak", which has message boards and a Gothic forum where you can meet and interact with other visitors. Forget the search engines, this is a one-stop-shop for all your dark desires. The URL: http://darklily.250free.com
Posted on May 10, 2003, 4:29 AM from IP address 209.240.198.63
Just wanted to let you all know that there is a new goth rock artist called DARKLILY. It's really different stuff. Worth a listen! You can find her stuff on soundclick.com. Just search for the artist Darklily or go to Goth Rock.

Actually, it's been up and running for a couple of months now, but I completely blanked on my login for the board and wanted to do some tidying up a bit before making the official announcement here.
Spammers, be gone!
There, that's better. So, if you're wanting to hear some of my music, or check out some video projects I've done over the years (including that perrenial favorite "The Tom and Sean Show" starring myself and our very own Drunkard!), stop by and check it out.

Hi Becky. Let me first of all introduce myself:- I was involved in TEC from the start with Jaco and Thomas (I think it was previously called Das Elend), left the band for a while due to studies, and joined them a bit later again after the album was made. I also toured with TEC. Jaco did die last year. I attended his funeral - it was very sad. Thomas is currently in London. Jaco was a driving force in TEC, and there are no intentions to restart TEC. Hope this helps. Mike
Posted on Oct 12, 2004, 8:34 AM from IP address 196.13.131.3
Thank you for letting me know, Jaco will be sorely missed, TEC where an amazing contribution (to me and my partner)in our spritual world of music. Whatever you decide to do in the future we wish you all the very best and happiness. Thank you kindly for all you and TEC have done to enrich our musical depths.
We wish you all the best.
ETC were beautifull.
Becky and Tim.
Posted on Nov 20, 2004, 11:56 AM from IP address 80.41.144.200
I will pass your kind words on to Thomas. Thank you. Jaco had high standards, which he unfortunately took out mostly on himself and those close to him. The TEC is a testimony to the intensity of Jaco's musical drive and Thomas' creativity. Sadly I think I understand Jaco's restlessness a little bit better only now. All the best to you too. Take care.
Mike

Hi Z! Lordy can't believe it's about a year since I posted here but just thought I'd check it out today. Glad to see you're still running the board and still alive and well and (presumably) living in the balmy part of Canada--we had hail in Ontario yesterday!
anyway, call me naive or just not using the computer so much lately but I've never seen a spammer before--hopefully that one you gave the boot to will be the first and last.
I'm looking forward to the sixth Star Wars episode coming out May 19th. It's supposed to be the darkest of the lot--finally get to find out why Anikin became Darth. I probably won't go to the theatre on the first day as I don't like the crowds and I definitely won't be dressing up as Leia in her harem Jabba the Hut costume but will enjoy it none the less. have to confess I've been a fan since way back--hard to believe it's almost thirty years since the first one! By the way if you are into it can you tell me the connection or difference between being a Sith and being called Darth something. I mean on the flip side Jedis are only called Jedis.
May everything good be with you. cheers, nightsword

This is writer Royce Freeman, who has worked on several horror indi films for www.timberwolfent.com in past and a film called DARKWOODS for www.jdbmovies.com
The movie is a throw-back to 80s camp slasher pics. Here is the link to the trailer.
