Goths are inevitably mortal but must their attire be subject to the same transitory condition?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I've since spent the past summer burying pigs in the garden. Although I am a meat minimiser and strongly value the contribution and intelligence of farm boars, I have dressed and disposed 18 pigs. I'm testing the durability of highly morbid, eroticised gothic fashions to identify the most viable and vampy fabric to allow goths to rest in peace, free of rotting styles. It's genuine coffin care! </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I'll be digging up these morbid bodies periodically to understand the strengths and weaknesses of the various noir nylon blends and will provide a detailed report of the results on a goth forum. Who would have imagined that visiting the riverside money morgue would lead to such business prospects and a $100 downpayment to reserve the domain name gravegarments.com? It's another reminder that good things come to those who blog modern rubbish bi-annually. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Please note, pentacles and crux ansatas are excluded from the scope of my research - in a bizarre college ritual, dozens of teenagers once dug up the remains of a campus goth to find the badly decomposed corpse still dressed in its neopagan metal neck chain. Alas I'm confident these starry symbols- already synonymous with strength and eternal protection- are keeping goths appropriately accessorised, from cradle to grave. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

I'm into twilight forums, blogs like ones with pictures of chicks and pictures of tie die and crystals and shit. Blogs about goths are fucked up like fucked up cause goths are fucked.My favourite tv show? Probably america's toughest prisons cause my cousin's in Barwon for mass murder, but got punched in the guts by a gang of Mexican bra boys on the inside and now has thirteen ACDC tatts stamped on his face. It makes me think I should send him some home and away tape and get the dacca boxset. What I'm wearing: glam rock ski suit, stole from dad; felt top hat, thrift store; customised versace goth lace ups, handmade. I converted my home office into a gothic haven with black laquer walls and spider webs, Manson posters etc. Current personal mentors are more like the tsubi boys cause they know to get fucked up wild and would have an insane, full gnarly v.i.p pass collection hanging above their beds. I would definitely trade a palm read for star wars tazos. Pm me if you have posh gold man and flash computer friend bff commemorative disc. </span><br />

Below is my cuz and prison thugs. He's so mortified he has a direct blood line to a goth.<br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";">In between cancelling my That's Life! subscription and playing intermediate levels of minesweeper on my mega drive, Nicolas Sarkozy phoned the landline to inform me I've been selected to represent the Republic of Senegal in this year's <em>French Goths for Human Rights</em> Convention. As chair Quasimodo will welcome millions of goths to his penthouse apartment to discuss a myriad of issues relating to the atrocities carried out on goths and gothic culture in 1968. Although largely concealed by smaller issues― namely the revolt against Eastern totalitarianism and the rejection of Western consumer culture― these crimes against goths were the real motivation behind the 1968 French spring student revolution.</span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";">The aforementioned misconduct continues to dominate the agenda at this semi annual semi worthless convention. We will work towards the </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";">construction of a <em>Goth Crimes Tribunal</em> to ensure Carla Bruni is held accountable for the senseless discrimination and violence directed at these 'people' in black. Rarely generating even two per cent interest amongst the French 'people'</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";">, this year's convention is seemingly more promising. <em>The Polls</em> (pre conceptual Irish metal electro band) have calculated such promise in terms of 10,000%%%% increase in awareness. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";">As an accredited member of the press, I will remain in Paris on an extended stay as an embedded goth reporter for <em>The Gothic Times New Roman Times</em>. A serif title within Rupert Murdoch's stable of print press, this publication has a circulation of one (m goth) and a readership of zero (I dislike my writing more than you do). I'll be attached to a homeless gothic unit in the Latin Quarter where I shall observe the </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";">daily rituals and cultural practices of the French goth community. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";">Being a meta fiction writer― my narrative often self-consciously addresses the mechanisms of fiction ― I'll now broadcast some photos I took on my Konica during the above events. </span><br />

This does not make for sick blog reading so I’m going to claim that my violent act of chicken discus led me to ponder the twentieth century space race. To commemorate the fortieth anniversary of the moon landing, I’ll be broadcasting from Jupiter, a special space blog for the next forty years.<br /><br />Filmed on location in Nevada the diamond desert, the moon landing is classic Hitchcock adapted for a novel by Donna Hay in 1972. Written for VHS and scripted in the fifth person, it borrows music from my cousin’s ipod and shifts quickly across dynamic dimensions. What separates this impressive cinematography from other competitors is the bypassing and disregard for gravity, which ultimately constructs a less imposing tone. With cameos from the Olsen twins and commentary from Lewis Carroll, this film is must see. </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";"><br /><br />Described by The Critics (modern indie band) as ‘cosmic, telescopic, astronomic and above all, hipster’, the moon landing v1.0 is part convincing, part American propaganda trash, part goth. Starring Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Rove, the moon landing involves a stellar cast, physically enhanced by out of this werld costumes provided by American Apparel (think metallic moon aprons and sweatshop free, integrity free designs). As envisioned by its politically glorified director John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the plot sees each astronaut returned safely to Earth. A pack of Ruskies attempted to imitate (think A Bug’s Life versus Antz) but the Soviet Unionists launched two light years too late. Perhaps Khrushchev should have focused efforts on thawing his post-Stalin Russia and maybe Brezhnev should have devised a five point five year plan to deal with the economic woes cultivating in his own backyard**<br /><br />Discerning readers may think I’m subverting NASA’s space achievements. In this post, I have consistently hinted that the moon landing was staged, engineered, unreal. Admittedly, these claims are based on a hurtful transcript I received from NASA this morning based on my persistent pledge to donate myself to the international space station as a landmark study into the affects of space travel on gothic bodies.<br /><br />Cinema or history, moon landing is something good, nice and great.<br /><br />**Whilst blogging is considered by many Internet enthusiasts as democratic and a platform for the people, my own research indicates that this is a particularly utopian view. Whilst I concede that the Internet has the potential to democratise journalism (and increase the number of teenagers with access to Asian porn), censorship of blogging is a serious threat. If KFC discovered that I’m undermining past Soviet presidents (<em>huge</em> chicken market in Russia) through a blog which they sponsor (Win two goths and a limited supply of Pepsi when you purchase the Mother’s Day Feast. Valid now until never) the chances that me and my llama and my blog would be kicked back to Kentucky are higher than Mickey Avalon so durrrr I’ve gotta watch my mouth or I’ll be moving to Canberra to start my own porn business. Media is a bully of an institution: the Internet has failed to diminish the ‘us versus them’ dogma associated with journalism. Regretfully, this leads me to <em>self</em> censor. I stopped my rag on the Ruskies because, as avid bloggers, the Russian mafia may hunt me down and sell me to the current administration for four Rubles and a goldfingers drink card.<br /></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";"></span><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kjlyu8WMtpw/SmNJ7tPdahI/AAAAAAAAADw/_SNkHcaYnOY/s1600-h/jlk.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360209271606569490" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kjlyu8WMtpw/SmNJ7tPdahI/AAAAAAAAADw/_SNkHcaYnOY/s320/jlk.jpg" style="cursor: hand; float: left; height: 228px; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; width: 320px;" /></a><br />

That blogged, we descended from our broomsticks just in time for the lengthy, animated version of <em>Repunzel’s Dream: In My Own Castle</em> starring Repunzel (as herself) and Jimmy Lanyon (as himself). Best described as romeo and juliet for goths (sans the tragedy and Elizabethan superstitions), Repunzel’s Dream maps the magic between two starry crossed lovers**. Set in Mount Thomas, it is an arresting novella of love, iphones and mountain people. </span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><br />The female protagonist’s love for Sir Lanyon reaches climax in act forty-six, scene four—the balcony scene—where she ponders ‘What satisfaction canst thou have tonight for thou is certainly in the dog house on this night’ to which JL quips: ‘The exchange of thy love's faithful vow for mine etcetera etcetera blah ...thine mine thou wow wilt whatever weald. I shalt not renege nor repunge my repunzel’ Such candid moments work to evoke a myriad of emotion toward the lovers' love (for this goth, 88 parts admiration, 12 parts envy). FARRK THIS BLOG IS SHITTER THAN I AM. </span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Following curtain drop, cast and crew bounced into town to deliver gothgurl 09 to her graveyard shift at KFC. Other goths and other bloggers were sighted and quarantined. All goths paid the remaining Moran fifty sea shells to paddle a pink stretch hummer across the river whilst chanting the final verse of a buried Brian Wilson B side.

He said my sentences are rather long, academic and boring for an informal blog. He also wanted to know why the neighbours are complaining about being 'surveilled inappropriately' by a pair of red binolculars as they watch Dancing With the Stars . As if I'd know dear parent.

Some news for yee:</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">I'll be reading excerpts from my latest meta-fiction novel <em>The Curious Incident of the Goth in the Night-Time. </em></span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">This reading will take place in the back aisles of the Two Dollar Shop, Eastland at a date to be confirmed. </span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">The date most likely to be confirmed will be 4 to 5 days after the Two Dollar Shop ask me to do the reading. This will give me enough time to both organise the press and scheme a plot. I'm thinking the book should be about a blogger who is trying to write a book about a goth who is trying to get by in postmodernity. This would tie in well with both the book's title and the meta-fiction claim. Those 4 to 5 days will also allow me to devise some supporting characters, learn how to spell/write and plead with Harper Collins to publish my literary wonder. </span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">See yee then. We're next to Pet's Paradise. </span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span>mgothhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04804474528440625250noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2011792035638892481.post-62906944646978346922009-05-09T18:21:00.000-07:002010-10-14T04:00:45.305-07:00My Favourite Goths<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">This is a television still from my favourite episode of the Oprah Winfrey Show. It was the pilot for 'Oprah's Favourite Things', season four, episode 16.

Tha photo is emblematic of Jolie's transcendence from star to saviour and also representative of the sizeable goth problem in south-east Asia. I was particularly impressed by the photo so I forwarded it to Mike Larkin, our local weather man, but he replied: well yeah, but what's the relevance to the weather?

But I can't find any valuable news about this topic and the biggest goth I know (7 parts goth 4 parts repunzel) is, goth this, getting her revlon make up done for her lead role in the Broadmeadows Youth Hall production of 'Pinocchio Does Goth'. She's won the logie for it last year and sold her story to New Idea for two euros and a rare South African tucan.</span><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"> Anyway, there's nothing out there on 19th century gothic fiction, so I'll just post a photo of my intensely gothic dancing coke friend that I bought from Eastland What's New last Thursday.

Actually we tell most people we know (we know ten, we tell eight) that we do have goth blogs. Now, in eagerness, we have two. Yeah two blogs about goths. But so far, neither of us can find any relevant information about goths so we don't know what to do.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">I'm launching at a goth party in eight hours and I have nothing about goths on here. I feel awful because it's like I'm just writing, with no audience. I asked Tim Berners-Lee and he said as far as he knows, the Internet can never 'get full'.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">Ok so if you're intensely gothic, I'd recommend you follow this shit too from my friend (half goth half melburnian half Courtney Love):</span><br /><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><br /><div><a href="http://gothgurl2009.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#3366ff;">http://gothgurl2009.blogspot.com/</span></a> </div><br /><div></div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_kjlyu8WMtpw/Sfb2YeC86oI/AAAAAAAAABE/lZutBTq835o/s1600-h/a_1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329718109282298498" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 207px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_kjlyu8WMtpw/Sfb2YeC86oI/AAAAAAAAABE/lZutBTq835o/s320/a_1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">I'm not broadcasting which one she is but she's the cute little boy in the glasses.</span> </div><div> </div>mgothhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04804474528440625250noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2011792035638892481.post-31701210975569539372009-04-27T20:48:00.000-07:002009-04-27T23:04:41.057-07:00A Goth Question<span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">So I've been just inundated with questions about the meaning (or relevance) of the blog's main photo. It's just me, on my computer, googling 'goth'. I thought it was appropriate but now I'm not sure. I'm going to take it down I think...</span><br /><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">And now there's a new photo. But in case you missed it, this is what the old photo looked like. </span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_kjlyu8WMtpw/SfacQuWMnNI/AAAAAAAAAAc/4kcsjugms6E/s1600-h/IMG_4980.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329619020172532946" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_kjlyu8WMtpw/SfacQuWMnNI/AAAAAAAAAAc/4kcsjugms6E/s320/IMG_4980.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div>mgothhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04804474528440625250noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2011792035638892481.post-80769787887861596592009-04-27T03:21:00.000-07:002010-10-14T03:52:54.033-07:00Froth on Goth<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">In the blogosphere and in life in general, there are four types of people:</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">(1) greasers;</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">(2) hippies; </span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">(3) punks; and </span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">(4) goths </span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">It is this fourth category which I wish to expand on, to the point of creating a blog. For some people- most I would imagine- the word goth doesn't mean a lot. Just like I probably don't mean a lot to you. There are more important things than goths so I'll name them: greasers, hippies and punks. But I won't focus on these more important things because they get enough exposure </span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">but also because I don't know much about them.</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">I'm just going show photos of goths and goth related products and maybe annotate. It will waste your time more than mine. I'm a blogger in the blogosphere and I think goths and goth culture are good enough to blog about. I wish I could translate this into four or five languages but I don't think the blog is good enough for one. </span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">PM if you have goth wave on vinyl. </span>mgothhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04804474528440625250noreply@blogger.com0
