Alien Vs. Thriller

Tuesday, September 15th, 2009

What do you get when you add one Alien and the Michael Jackson hit Thriller? Why this gem of a video.

The footage comes from a practice session from this past DragonCon, which held an event to break the world record for most people dancing to Thriller at once.

I love the fact that whoever is in the Alien suit has far more groove than everyone else in the room.

Obscura: 5/1/2009

I just uploaded some shots from this past weekend’s OBSCURA event. Just click the image above to see more.

OBSCURA Tonight

Friday, May 1st, 2009

OBSCURA

Tonight at The Trocadero Theatre is OBSCURA, which is the pre-party/meet and greet for tomorrow’s big alternative fashion show contest Catwalk Tragedy. I’ll be displaying some of my work along with other artists and photographers like Lithium Picnic, Kyle Cassidy and S. Jenx. There’s also various performances including Philly’s own Live Not On Evil and Mighty Mike Saga.

The art show will be up for both events but I will only be there for tonight’s portion of the two day event.

The Vaderatrix [Kind of NSFW: Vinyl-Clad Villainess]

Friday, April 17th, 2009

So I was Googling various nonsense to see what would come up via Google images whilst I read my morning emails and sipped my thinking juice (aka: coffee). Eventually I found this gem of a picture;

Vaderatrix

Behold! The Vaderatrix! Alluring yet frightening! Disturbing yet awesome! I mean come on, she (or he ’cause one never knows) even has the life-support doohickey and the utility belt. All that’s missing is the whip and a bottle of Astroglide. Once again this proves that geeks are some of the kinkiest freaks on this green rock.

I’m sure this picture has already made the rounds but hell, how can I not share something like this? I have no idea where the original photo comes from, so if you know let me know, but from the looks of it the shot was probably taken at a convention. Shocker I know.

Certainly puts a new twist to the famous Star Wars quote “And now, your highness, we will discuss the location of your hidden rebel base… “

PrettyGeek.net

PrettyGeek.net

Fellow blogger, geek and really good friend of mine Hugh Casey has a fantastic site for those who have a fine appreciation of sexy geeks. PrettyGeek.net features various photographs of geeks in nerdtastic outfits ranging from the infamous Princes Leia slave girl bikini to pirates. If it’s a part of geek culture it’s probably going to make its way onto this blog. There’s nothing naughty about this site and is all around work safe, which for some I guess is a bit of a let-down. But hey, naked geeks isn’t what PrettyGeek.net is about. It is in fact all about showing the masses that geeks aren’t all a bunch of unwashed, unkempt, uncouth, socially inept freaks that live in their parent’s basement. Many can be pretty damned swank -and- frigging hot.

Goblin Cock

Thursday, January 29th, 2009

I was reading an article on the Underwire about San Diego’s doom metal meets nerd culture band Goblin Cock, and I think I have a new favorite nerd band.

The group consists of band leader Lord Phallus along with bandmates Bane Ass-Pounder, King Sith, Braindeath and Loki Sinjuggler and their latest release, Come With Me If You Want To Live (referenced from the mover The Terminator), gives you a pretty good idea of where they are coming from.

Below is a video from that release for the single We’ve Got A Bleeder, which is something to be witnessed.

They’re on tour right now and will be hitting Johnny Brenda’s here in Philly on February 10th.

Oh Onion, how I love your news.

Gothminister’s New Video: Darkside

Thursday, December 18th, 2008

Norwegian Gothic/Industrial band Gothminister has released the video for their first single “Darkside” from their newest Happiness in Darkness.

The video is filled with a scantly-clad lady, decaying buildings, a band with goofy makeup and heavy metal (though a bit popish). All the fine makings of a video that rocks out.

Combichrist “Sent To Destroy” Music Video

Wednesday, December 10th, 2008

I’ll admit that I’m a big fan of Combichrist in all it’s stompy glory. And when they released their newest video, “Sent To Destroy” from their upcoming Today We Are All Demons, there was a happy surprise – the cameo of Bill Moseley of The Devil’s Rejects fame.

Yeah, I’m easily pleased.
