JGoth.com – Japan Goth Music

I have gone through most of the CDs that I have received relatively recently and don’t have any CDs left to review. Anyone want their CD reviewed? Just contact me via “Contact us” above.

I have had the chance to talk about a site offering free tattoo chat. The site offers people from all over the world to join Tattoo Chat City’s chat rooms and have a great time sharing their tattoos and the stories behind them.

When you register you will find a lot of different tattoo chat rooms including video chat rooms allowing you to show off your tattoos and see other skin-canvases of other users. All chat rooms are 100% free allowing users the chance to chat on tattoos and other subjects that they love.

Registration is simple only requiring you to include your Username, password, e-mail address, age gender and agree with the terms and conditions of the site. Once you have completed this simple form you will have access to the chatrooms.

While not having a tatt myself, I am interested about them and those who have decorated their body with this unique art and (time-permitting) would enjoy joining up to this site.

For those with tattoos or an interest in tattoos and the stories behind them, Tattoo Chat City offers a unique experience to mix and exchange stories with like-minded individuals.

So, if you have an interest in tattoos and related body art, this free tattoo chat site could be just what you are looking for.

While we are on the subject of tattoos, there is a site for tattoo lovers offering tattoo dating and general socializing. The site, Tattoodating.com, includes thousands of members with an interest in tattoos. Like most social/dating network site, Tattoodating.com allows users to upload their own pictures, send messages to other members, interact on a bulletin board and enjoy a live audio/video chat room. This is definitely the place to be to show off your own body work and interact with like-minded people.

After several months offline, Igor is back to talk about new music he likes!

This album by Australian duo, Angelspit, kicks ass with extreme electro-clash and grinding glitch beats laced throughout. Cutting through the layered noise are the spoken-word vocals. The sound structure and vocals have a hint of Combi-Christ, but this band is definitely something unique and downright addictive.

The first track, “Grind,” unleashes heavily distorted beats with anthem-like vocals, which delivers an insidiously addictive sound. “Paint Hell Red” is a powerful track with a quirky electro-glitch beat. (more…)

Will it all end in 2008?

Someone did a whole series of Nostradamus videos relating to next year that I decided to plug into the JGoth system so people (including myself) can check them out during the new year slowdown.

If you are still interested there are four other videos available from this person. I took them off here because it was paralyzing the page.

It even carries a range of Japanese Gothic titles from the small, but growing DeathWatch Asia label.

Well, guess who’s been a busy boy today.

Yes, Koizumi, Japan’s PM and self-professed lion king, presumably because of his hair-do, has kicked into overdrive the last couple of days.

First it was yesterday, when the helmsman gave a tongue-lashing to young MPs who were too busy playing with their mobile phones and reading comics during Parliament sessions. Don’t believe me? Well check this story out before it disappears. There are all kinds of adult (themed) comics in Japan from alien sex to pro-golf heroes to cybernetic businessmen called Yamazaki. Hopefully none of them were carrying old copies of Misshitsu into the sessions.

Then today, there’s the announcement that the big boy is off to see Kim Jong-il to talk about Japanese abductees and nuclear issues. So the two Ks, Kim and Koizumi, will be getting together for a pow-wow on May 22. Should be an interesting tour….

Hopefully too interesting for people to pay much attention to the revelation by K’s staff that Japan’s permed prince of politics failed to make pension payments for several years. So what? I hear you say. Well, Japan’s pension system is buckling as the population gets older, and the pollies are the ones who should be doing something to overhaul the thing before it’s too late. Now the guys who are responsible for the systemic mess are getting caught for not even making payments. Okay, just trust me here. It’s a big fiasco and people are bowing like crazy, apologizing profusely and tendering resignations (from posts, not from parliament). Go check out Koizumi’s announcement, the political dilinquents, and the polly-berating TV anchor who just got busted.

Anyway, one thing is for sure, Koizumi will be too busy to turn up to Zombiefied at Rock Ya and that is a great reason to go!
