Voices Of Angels Singing To The Tune Of Devils

10 July, 2009 (23:59) | Music, YouTube | By: Guise Dugal

NaBloPoMo: Day Ten (Delayed to 18/07/09)
I don’t know why I picked that title, but it seemed somewhat fitting and reasonably poetic. I’m going to share with you all a simple joy today, little more than filler, but something that always moves me in different directions.
As many of you know, I’m a guy with very [...]

Competition Time: Music Video or Madness?

6 July, 2009 (23:59) | Music | By: Guise Dugal

NaBloPoMo: Day Six (Delayed to 11/07/09)
I have a habit every time I listen to music to make videos for them in my head, whether comprised of snapshots of scenes or full MTV videos. The first time I ever heard My Chemical Romance’s Black Parade I got almost the full video correct, except a few thematic [...]

Christmas De Burgh

16 November, 2008 (22:35) | Filler, Music, YouTube | By: Guise Dugal

So, with the Advent looming like a creepy, slowly stalking fanboy in a Wampa Ice Monster costume on to the crossplaying fangirl in Luke outfit with a Tauntaun hobby-horse that is our friend, Calendar. I was reminded earlier of a little ditty that I wrote, or more a ditty that I mutilated to make another, [...]

We’re Scared of Creepy Little Children

17 January, 2008 (14:46) | Books, Games, Halloween, Movies, Music, Television | By: Guise Dugal

One of my favourite tropes in horror and thriller productions – be it in a
film, television show or even video game – is the use of Creepy Little Children.
Granted, this has at times been overdone, especially where companies try to
reproduce the success of a story in either a shoddily made sequel or rival
product, however amongst [...]

Let The Choir Sing…

3 June, 2006 (17:34) | Music | By: Guise Dugal

Sexy, classy
Don’t think you’ll put it past me
Angels in the day
But at night could be nasty
Song : Angels With Dirty Faces, Sugababes

Ah, choirs. Groups of saintly pressed youths raising their angelic voices to the heavens and filling the soul, about as classical as you can get, and about as innocent as a Band Camp.
Oh, bad [...]

Mummy, Can I Play With Madness?

31 July, 2005 (11:37) | Music | By: Guise Dugal

I ordered a couple more things off Amazon this morning once I found out that Madness had a nearly complete compilation out in the form of The Lot and the B-Side and One-off compliation of The Business, combined with the release tomorrow of The Dangermen Sessions. So, I gave in and ordered :

CD – “The [...]

“We’re Living In A Powder Keg And Giving Off Sparks”

25 June, 2004 (23:46) | Music | By: Guise Dugal

As I’ve commented many times, Total Eclipse Of The Heart is the video that I find to be one of the most stylish and most freaked out vdeos I have ever watched repeatedly on VH1, Magic and The Vault.
The very premise is a bit shady in that in the guise of a school teacher Bonnie [...]

Blather…

7 March, 2004 (23:51) | Music, Uncategorized | By: Guise Dugal

Whenever I need to release a bit of insanity, I know where to turn. A whole series of conversation pieces that just went back and forth, intermingled and just mostly lost the plot, all in one AIM session.
Me : I’m tempted to do my hair spiky a few days this week…
Me : ::g::
Me : I [...]
