Hello everyone,
Welcome to our new members.
Now, it's been some time since posted to the community and find that I don't really have the time to do posting or reading these days. Bearing in mind this is not because I've suddenly ceased singledom! But because I am a busy lady!
I have changed the settings to allow anyone to join the community without being approved although only members can post.
My question is, would anyone like to take over the moderation of the community?
If so, please leave a comment, I reckon the longer standing members should have first shot but if they don't want to do it, it'll probably fall to whoever comments first within the next few days.
New members - feel free to introduce yourselves. |

It has been an incredible first month. We have had hundreds of unique listeners
tune in from as far away as Finland, Canada, Hong Kong and dozens from our home
base in Tampa, FL. We are particularly happy to welcome out German visitors
which have made up almost 20% of our listenership. Now that we have stablized
some of the technical launch issues, we will continue to add to our library of albums
so that there will new music in rotation everyday including some smaller, but very
interesting regional talent.
We also have new sets from DJ Devious, Maus and DJ Xanthus set to premiere
next week. In the next few months, we'll continue this trend with the programming
shifting towards more Djs, more often. You'll hear club sets from England, Germany
and all over the US.
Thanks for your continuous support!!

Ah, yes. I'm Damian (yes, my real name and everything). Where to start?
Well, after a brief yet torrid romance that took me all the way to the frozen north, I find myself back in blighty and alone once more. I've done the slobbing around in my underwear, bemoaning the world bit and now I am coming back for more. I'm either a hopeless romantic or a sucker for punishment. If there is a difference. :)
While I am not the most immediately-identifiable goth. Make-up, sadly, only ever really succeeding in making me look like a very bad tranny (no matter how good the tranny look I was aiming for). But, I do love all the usual bands, though my tent is very firmly pitched in the 'tradgoth' camp, I am something of a music-whore and tend to sleep in other tents for a night or two when the fancy takes me.
I have pretentions of being a writer and would be a very prolific one, were I actually able to muster the enthusiasm. So it is I have one chapter of a potentially cracking novel written, but just really prefer to listen to Fields of the Nephilim and drink whisky I can no longer afford, rather than spend a few more hours getting it to a somewhere near complete form.
I love nature and the outdoors, but I also appreciate a warm room and a comfy chair on a cold night (preferably with warm and comfy companionship, too).
Realising this all sounds a little middle-aged and pedestrian, I would like to point out I also really enjoy gigs and nights out - but I tend to find the company is much more important than the music, venue or event.
And that is me in a nutshell, I think. Any questions? ;) |

Hello, thought i'd should probably do an introduction. I wouldn't have really called myself a goth until a friend pointed out that going to the clubs, liking the music and having a penchant for black clothes does really put me in the category. Bit like how I didn't consider myself to be that fit but having run the Edinburgh marathon earlier this year I think i'll probably have to admit that too.
Music-wise I like a whole range of genres but I fall into the bleepy/ebm end mostly, though many moons ago I came across from metal through Ministry and KMFDM to industrial then dropped into the likes of VNV nation. Still there are always good new (and old) bands to find and listen to.
Spare time I indulge in a spot of geekery or exercise -recently started climbing and going back to yoga- also reading, cinema, etc, etc.
Oh, i'm male, around 6" 1, slim build, short blonde hair and blue/grey eyes. I don't have any particular physical 'type' that I look for, but I think common interests/sense of humour are good.
Feel free to throw questions my way if you want to know more, or i'm happy to meet people for a pint or coffee for a natter. |

[Jul. 30th, 2006|09:28 am] |
I can't believe that serious consideration was given to deleting me from here!
I AM SINGLE!!! And probably always will be because I am so cynical, but that doesn't stop me thinking that one day there might be someone suitable for me out there, though I supress that so as to avoid disappointment when it doesn't happen.
At my age, time is rapidly running out!
Anyway, gtg continue digging my grave while the ground is still reasonably soft after yesterdays downpour.

Right... diddle-a-dit-da-dee... it's been a while since I've written one of these... (sucks teeth contemplatively)... My name's Howard and I ended a long-term relationship a couple of weeks ago and therefore I suppose would be regarded as single.
( Pic of me at WGT last month )
I'm 5'11" tall, 27 years old, straight, no kids, I live in south London, I mostly like industrial and ebm music, although I have been known to stick on a Sisters album once in a while too. I work in a dull office job but am also a struggling artist/aspiring novelist. To be honest, I don't mind being single that much for now. The dust's still settling and I'm not in a massive rush to jump straight into another serious relationship. On the other hand, it doesn't hurt to keep your eyes and ears open - you never know what might be around the corner, with life being the strange and unpredictable thing that it is. Maybe I'll post something a bit better in a few days or weeks, when I've got a better idea of what I want to say! |

I've really got to the stage now where I'm not arsed wether I ever get another partner or not.
Getting involved with somebody now would probably be an unwelcome distraction.
You know, life really seems so much simpler when you're not getting dragged down by other peoples shit. I think my outlook now can be summed up as 'if I meet someone I do, if I don't I don't'. At least I have a double bed to stretch out on, all to myself.

As with Xmas, I'm all on my lonesome for New Years Eve, no parties or socialising for me.
However, that doesn't stop me from wishing you all a good one ( especially those Scots for whom it seems to be often a greater celebration than Yulemas ! ) I hope your resolutions are appropriately 'different' :-)
Strange that though, in New Zealand, 2006 is already 12 hours old. A prime example of how dates and times are not 'real' in a sense. Step back from the earth, look at it in its entirity against the backdrop of space and 2006 really doesn't mean that much. Its all an illusion, as am I sometimes, well it feels that way :-)
Have a good one. |

| Boxing Day blues and the Spider Goddess |
[Dec. 26th, 2005|03:52 pm] |
I hate Xmas. Its not a good time when you're single and everybody you know is spending time with families. I have no family to speak of. My nearest family are 90 miles away, which doesn't sound so far but its a good two hour drive, and I'm only in touch with them on an infrequent basis anyway.
I much prefer hallowe'en. People dont go and spend time with families then and most people are up for partying.
Xmas isn't so bad when I have a partner I guess. Well depends who that partner is. I used to have a live-in GF called Claire, only there was a fairly big age gap and her family never accepted me because of that, and she still went and stayed with them over Xmas and New Year.
The relationship didn't last long after that, I realised she had all her priorities wrong. I wouldn't stand in the way of any partner wanting to see their family at Xmas and new year but I think if youre in a relationship, then equal consideration should be given to your partner, and she should have spent Xmas with her mum and stepdad, and maybe New Year with me?
Most people I get involved with become equally inconsiderate at some point of the relationship, I think they just keep that side of them hidden at first.
Anyway, this Xmas day I decided to drown my sorrows in vodka. I Rediscovered my muse three quarters of a bottle deep somewhere and wrote a short piece called 'Grave New World', inspired, perhaps obviously by Huxley's classic 'Brave New World'.
I also wrote another short piece called 'The Spider Goddess' which is the best piece that I have written for some time. I have employed unusual techniques in this piece.
To begin with, the title is misleading. The Spider Goddess is merely an observer in much the same way that readers are, and the piece is actually a monologue delivered to her by an unamed character.
The opening lines suggest that she is actually nothing more in reality than voices in the head of somebody, perhaps somebody mentally ill, who struggles to ignore the instructions that the voices give to him, and through a very logical step by step process, justifies why he will not obey the Goddess's commands.
However, the unamed character delivering the monologue has no problems with practicing vampirism, so this opens up the question... is the piece more literally about a vampire communicating with his dark goddess rather than one about mental illness and logic?
And if it isn't about mental illness then it's not so easy to write off his monologue as the rantings of a nutcase, and therefore is there any validity or truth in the characters observations about the human race?
Like most of my best work, it works on several levels simultaneously.
Here it is:
The Spider Goddess
Copyright (c) Richard J Price 2005
All Rights Reseved.
The spider goddess looks at me with curiosity.
I don't feel at all threatened.
There's no hunger in her look.
She speaks, and when she speaks its hard to understand her sometimes,
because she speaks in her hundreds of voices at once.
She tells me to kill people.
And to eat their hearts.
I tell her most people don't have hearts,
They are filled with a black space,
which sucks emotions in and stifles them forever with blackness.
Bogeymen terrify their children with nightmare tales about humans.
Here are the beings that shit on their own dinners,
This is the race that is the very essence of evil, made flesh.
These are the monsters that are the source of all nightmares.
Torturers, Rapists, Cannibals, Soldiers, Politicians,
An endless parade of hornless demons,
ranks upon ranks upon ranks of the vilest abominations that the earth has given birth to.
Hitlers, Stalins, Neros, Mansons, Bradys and Milosevics,
Goose step past giving their Nazi Salute to Jesus himself,
who smiles down benevolently from his cross,
giving blessing.
"No goddess" I say.
"Gladly I will drink their blood,
but they have no hearts for me to eat". |

Well, I hope all you single folk don't have too 'single' a festive celibration. Yule, Xmas, whatever you like to call it, I hope you its not too lonesome and here is wishing the fat guy doesn't get stuck up your chimney.
Remember, the old codger can handle mince pies, but in this day and age drinking and driving is frowned upon so leave him something without alcohol in it to complelent the cakes. After all, drunk in charge of a sleigh travelling at the speed his does tonight could be rather hazardous. ( all that kinetic energy ! )
Me, alas, a very singular Xmas, won't be with family, no friends will be around to celebrate the festivities, no parties to go to.
Bahh humbug, a truly Scroogemas for me then. For the rest of you, all the best. |

| Relationships with 'mainstream' people. |
[Dec. 5th, 2005|12:08 pm] |
Uhm... a rare occurence here. Me correcting something I've said previously, in a reply to Jozafeens post about speed dating where I said that relationships with none goth orientated people might work out.
I don't think it will. Hell. If you live a typically eccentric lifestyle they will not be able to cope.
I've had three 'dates' recently LOL. Two with women I'd describe as 'mainstream' and one with a biker chick.
Date No.1 - 26 year old 'glamour' (ie: lingerie and bare tits etc) model. Fucking desperate for fame and so bloody materialistic. First time she saw me and tapped me for my phone number I was 'dressed down' (ie: wearing plain blue denim jacket and no facial piercings). I recall she was in leather and thigh length boots. I agree to meet her in Chandlers cocktail bar, Chesterfield.
I turn up in full leathers, Ministry 'Piss Army' T-shirt, nose ring in. She's dressed in white. During the course of the night she admits to thinking my t-shirt was for Ministry of Sound, that just about the only band that she's heard of on my current listening list is 'Metallica', and she erm... thinks that Bon Jovi is heavy metal.
Once she's pissed and brave enough she admits that she didn't realise that I was a 'freak' and asks if I sleep in a coffin. I tell her futons are more comfortable.
She asks if I've ever had sex in a coffin, or in a graveyard, or with any of 'those girls that do themselves up like corpses'. She has her beer goggles on by now, examines my tattoos and makes it clear that she's expecting me to take her home. I make my excuses and get out of that one.
Date No 2 - Mainstream divorcee, mid thirties. She was a bit more enlightened about the alternative scene and would have no problems telling the difference between a punk and a goth for instance.
But she waffles endlessly about shit that she's seen on the TV and despite me repeatedly telling her 'no I didn't see I'm a celebrity get me out of here, featuring Gary Glitter in a Hanoi prison', why? Because I don't watch any fucking TV at all, and still it was 'did you see', 'did you see' all night long.
I just can't relate to couch potatoes. Watching DVDs and videos is cool but TV is just a waste of time. Music is better. Or even radio plays.
She didn't like horror films and didn't think Rik Mayall was funny.
Talk about incompatible lifestyle.
Date No 3 - Biker/hippy type chick, mid twenties I pulled in a shop. Well she looked so cute. Only problem was, if she had any personality I would undoubtedly have seen her again (That may have been down to her medication though), but she had way too much emotional baggage too, severe depression and stuff going on, some kind of personality disorder I think to want to get involved with. She had a problem with going out to nightclubs and live bands too and didn't like industrial or modern metal.
Anyway, that's just illustrating three reasons why I think I was wrong and that I really ought not to bother even considering anybody outside the broader 'goth' scene, we'd just not have compatible lifestyles so it'd forever be involving compromise and I'd be much happier with somebody that was happy with me just being me, without me having to tone anything down.
That person probably doesn't exist though, so meanwhile I'm content with being free.

Well, I've tried a few online dating things lately and all I seem to get are weirdos.
I'd rather have a goth weirdo, lol.
I work hard and have a 5yr old daughter that takes up most of my time. Never seem to meet any potential partners in real life anymore ( wasn't it easier when younger and full of the alkeeehol, lol).
Like goth, punk - most bands. Getting into pagany type stuff too now.
There, I've done it
Don't laugh, those that know me......! |

My application to join here has just been approved so time to post an introductory message I think.
I'm Richard and live on the South side of Sheffield.
I'm not goth as such but have been into early goth scene music for years, which I got into when punk died down a bit.
Most of the time I am single, I work unsociable hours and that puts severe limitations to what kind of relationship I can offer, and must admit that it has got in the way of my past relationships, but I have to pay my bills somehow.
My spare time is spent in a combination of painting, writing, reading, watching movies, just chilling to music or out (Bike currently off the road) so my social life is limited to Sheffield (Dove & Rainbow, The Nelson, The Uni, very occasionally The Corp) or Chesterfield (The Green Room).
Music I'm into... pick from these:
Killing Joke, Ministry, NIN, Marilyn Manson, Rammstein, Rob Zombie, KMFDM, Front 242, Discharge, UK Subs, Slayer, Judas Priest, Bauhaus, Banshees, PIL, Metallica, U2, Gary Numan, Depeche Mode, The Damned, Iggy Pop, Bowie, Lacuna Coil, Paradise Lost, Pigface, Faith No More, Hawkwind, Senser... shitloads more as well.
I'm kind of a chilled out bloke, not possessive or jealous. I guess if I meet anyone suitable I'm not wanting to rush headlong into a relationship but take things pretty slowly. I want to truly know what someone is like before I shack up with them and head down the highway to eternal bliss. LOL.
