damage's razor coated candies 01
11-3-11, one of those nights. Half a bottle of Rockstar Recovery was enough to keep me off the demon hours, sleep, mindful creativity, finishing up any work to be able to enjoy a stressless weekend. It wasn't enough, however, to keep me off digging up new likes, hearts and razor coated throbbing bundles of joy. So I made up something irresponsibly called damage's razor coated candies (which sounded extremely good at that very moment when the idea struck me, i would sort of debate it now but I'm sticking with the originals, a man gotta make a classic when a man gotta make a classic), containing 21 carefully selected tracks from darkwave, gothic, darkpop and cabaret and probably a few other (sub)genres if you want to get real specific. I don't want to. Some of the tracks you might have seen/heard here already, some will be completely now, I'm having quite a crush now on Teenagersintokyo but more importantly, now defunct Solemn Novena - their track Trick or Treat is on par with Pretentious, Moi?'s Now and Again - and for those of you who know me well enough, that's quite a compliment. So please, enjoy. I might drink up another bottle of Rockstar Recovery and then summon up bubbling nuclear fusion in my room while you're busy depressing buttons. Happy Friday and weekend, by the way.

you are listening to los angeles
Dangerous Minds tends to have the weirdest stuffs we love and care about: this one is especially handy during before and after the demon hour - You Are Listening to Los Angeles, a web sound app mixing SoundCloud ambient tracks and radioreference.com's police department feeds (currently Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Chicago and Montréal are available). I've been looking for something very similar for years. Now my life is almost complete. (Well, almost.) (via dangerous minds)

eaten - elad rath's WTF short movie
The plot is pretty simple. A man and a demon with a penchant for eating gross stuff sit at a table while the world explodes around them. But, is the world coming to an end because of the man? Is he living inside his own conscience? (via quietearth.us)
mondo: a 2011. márciusi szám tartalmából
A mai naptól a Relay, az In Medio és a Tesco újságárusainál kapható egy triplapresszó áráért (790) az új Mondo, erről havi szinten bővebb híradást fogtok kapni, mert a szerkesztőség promógremlinjeit elvitte a busójárás meg a sugárban bele a tízezer éves hamvvederbe. Natehát, monthly téma a tömegközlekedés, a vasutak meg a nyugati-keleti adaptációk, amiről nekem valahogy Menzel Szigorúan ellenőrzött vonatokja ugrik be, de arra az átlagközönség azt hiszi cím alapján, hogy az az új Keanu-film, úgyhogy inkább ugorjunk.

shinshoku fever 6: hirdessetek ti is videóval
Kpop is the new black is the new 50% grey. Startup-hírekkel megkavart szombati diákcsemege-ajánló a köbön: aki a koreai meg a japán pop elkötelezett, de legalábbis érdeklődő híve, az szombat kilenctől jöjjön a Tündérgyárba, hogy órák múlva már koreografáltan kereshesse a becsületét a plafonon vagy a félreeső zugok valamelyikében hangulpózba tekeredve. Fuxy az estét előirányzandó gyártott le nektek egy video mixtapet: hangulatban, látványvilágban és színes buborékokban ilyenekre készüljetek, ez lesz a Shinshoku Fever.
Partyszervezőknek, promotereknek meg DJknek inkább (vagy emellett) inkább magát a fenti platformot ajánljuk: ha ki kell ajánlani egy bulit, a puretext nem elég, egymás alá berakott öt YouTube-ot senki sem fog egyesével megkattantani és rosszul is néz ki, mint amikor egyedül cipeljük a sarki Tesco mellől a fogvicsorgatva összehajtott kartondobozokat költözéshez, na akkor van az, hogy regisztrálni kell a Dragontapet, egymás mellé kell hajítani pár videót, trimfadelni őket, embed codeot bedobni és kész a hirdetés. És ingyenes. Én szóltam. (Példának itt vannak az eddig gyártott tapejeim.)
damage powertape: this is saul williams
This man is Saul Williams. He's one of the grittiest hip hop poets of our age, sharpens lyrical bullet tongue with DJ Krust's on Coded Language, covers U2's Sunday Bloody Sunday, rocks out with Nine Inch Nails and summons a whole lot of raw anger sheathed in intellect and a black, smoking mirror. He's just had his 39th birthday this Monday and he always makes me remember how I fell in love with the whole Wu-Tang Clan and narrative/freestyle d'n'b, because words are still the glue, essence and fuel of this universe. You can wish him a happy one by checking out this powertape I collected out of his video-only stuff off YouTube. This is a Dragontape, this is Saul Williams. (saulwilliams.com)

nostromo - binary overdrive (sugar jesus - get a hold of yourself)
Sugar Jesus' brand new single, "Get A Hold Of Yourself", coincides with an exclusive collaboration with AMV creator extraordinaire, 'Nostromo'. The "Anime Music Video" phenomenon is currently growing exponentially, in particular throughout Europe and America, beginning, as it did, predominantly in the Far East. Having won multiple awards at 'AKROSS Con' as well as numerous other global competitions, Nostromo is the undisputed king of the AMV world. His videos receive millions of views all over the web, earning him widespread fame within the community. Sugar Jesus sanctioned the use of their most recent single to Nostromo, and for the last 6 months, together they have been working closely on all sides of the project, now entitled "Binary Overdrive". The result is an otherworldly fusion of image and sound, culminating in an adrenaline-fuelled thrust of pure audio-visual energy. Enjoy! (sugarjesus / nostromo, recommended by Luggi, thx!)
sporthocker
@dawe_ sent this video a couple of days ago calling it a mixture of fishermen and parkour. Which is, in a way, quite right, doing acrobatic flip-swoop-jumps with your stool if you're bored or feel the need to impress the fair sex. Or, if you need to express yourself through the art of hopefully landing in a camera-friendly way. This, @dawe_, is definitely not parkour. But ffs, is this mighty fun. (via sporthocker.com)
► sisters of mercy - this corrosion
In glorious rememberance of last Saturday's Sisters of Mercy gig that sounded as powerful as it gets and obviously you couldn't see ANYTHING on stage. Because it's a bloody Sisters of Mercy gig. Get over it.
thedosemag.com meets dragontape - visual mixtape
Reminds me of how we all could reconstruct the MTV 120 Minutes video jukeboxes of yore when Bill Leeb looked more like a disenfranchised teenager than a bored shaman, guitar rave was still a hip thing and people making electronic music that made us all jump were considered to be magicians. Does anyone still remember 120 Minutes? UPDATE: Playlists are here!?
While you're thinking about this, I'm sharing you this dragontape from my time with The Dose magazine so far, including music videos from bands we've interviewed in the Budapest, Tokyo, London and Paris issues. Weird and enjoyable party music for you people who haven't been properly grabbed by any subculture and if you have, please enjoy. You can download all previous Dose issues for free, except for the Paris issue which is 4 euros and still available as a digital download via PayPal. Check the teaser and then buy it as a weekend read, it'll be fun!

ilyenek voltunk, nippon shoxx: visual mixtape
Éppen a DragonTape visual mixtapegyártójával szórakozok és próbálom hat szomorúan kiürült és fillmeért lüktető kávésbögre mellett rekonstruálni azt az érzetet, amikor valaki fontosnak gyártasz egy szalagot, hogy "ez mind ez mind én vagyok, edd meg, legyenek közös pillanataink", aztán egy negyedórával később már az első visual kei/jrock bulijaink playlistjeit túrom a legütősebb pillanatokért, amikor közel kétszáz lány vonatozik körbe-körbe egy tánctéren és visítják a dalszövegeket, aztán ujjonganak minden szám elején, egyesek végén még egyszer, a fal mellé lapulva meg fiúk merednek hihetetlenül a nőuralomra és legjobb barátaikat hívják remegő ujjakkal, hogy "ide gyere bazmeg, te ILYET még nem láttál, nőt így még nem láttunk viselkedni", aztán valahogy sikerül pont egy CDnyit összetúrni, 18 szám, 75 perc, a kettőezres buliévek legjobb pillanatai ívfényre kondenzálva, osszátok meg és uralkodjatok és gyártsatok ti is ilyen mixtapeket, aztán finoman toljátok be ide, hogy "a mi bulijaink meg ilyenek voltak, na? ki szórakozott jobban?", aztán elkezdünk kakaskodni, összegyűlünk újcsapatostul és szaporodunk. Ez a titkos szabadkőműves terv.

this minecraft documentary needs your help
2 Player Productions, the world's finest purveyors of video game documentaries, are in a bind. Having filmed a short documentary on Minecraft, they now want to make a much longer one. But they need your help. Making professional films isn't cheap or easy, and the team need money to get the project off the ground. How much? Well, $150,000 should cover it, so they've launched a Kickstarter campaign aimed at helping them get the cash together. (here's the campaign, story originally via kotaku)

how to bake properly with death metal
Our recent love towards Epic Mealtime and Regular Ordinary Swedish Meal Time leads us to uncharted territory - every now and then we manage to bring back something, such as this offal gem of... well, something edible and decent grunt grind vocal marmelade. Enjoy. We sort of did.
detroit gets a robocop statue
We’ve reached the $50,000 goal with the help of many many supporters and a very generous contribution from Pete Hottelet at www.omniconsumerproductscorporation.com, but you can still contribute, so please keep backing the project. All the reward levels still stand, and we’re currently discussing how to branch this project and fundraising into bigger and bigger things with a better and better impact on Detroit. Thank you, everybody! Wow. (via slashfilm)
necro facility talks about their new album wintermute
It´s been over four years since they unleashed their last album "The Room" which was praised in the media all over the world. With their new album "Wintermute" their classic North American/Canadian sound really has evolved into something own and unique. Last Saturday we premiered the album to selected media in their studio in Stockholm/Sweden and we dare to say EVERYONE was stunned and amazed by the result. It´s for sure one of the best ever produced albums ever made in this scene. No so weird maybe since member Oscar Holter is now considered one of the finest producers at Lionheart and recently even had a number 1 chart hit in Japan. Together with Henrik Bäckström behind the microphone which also has evolved in an amazing way. We dare to say people will be stunned in the beginning of May when "Wintermute" will be released. (yes, this is the press release, get over it, band on facebook)

locked in a vegas hotel room
