Cartoon Sunday: Christian Johnston Narrates Paul Ferruccio's A Creepy Ghost Hunting Story {Animated}

How's it going my gumdrops? As of yesterday, I managed to achieve a minor accomplishment. So far, my latest Song Saturday blog featuring Type O Negative's Banned cover of Seals & Crofts' "Summer Breeze" reached 285 page views and counting. 

Yesterday's blog was shared with the Official Danzig fan page and Horror-Punks' official group page on facebook. My Song Saturday blog featuring Type O Negative was also shared on World of Anime, AnimeNation, Digg, and around Google Plus. Most of my viewership was from those 2 facebook group pages mentioned above. 

At the same time, asshole moderators from Google Plus continue to strip my blogs from multiple Google Plus communities. It's amazing how people on that site can spam the shit out of our news feeds with pornographic videos and pictures but the moment I share my own content for exposure, texters on their phones are EASILY triggered and want to have me removed.

Judging by the looks of it, as I continue to hunt for other ways to share my content without using Google Plus, I am getting the impression that certain moderators around Google Plus continue to feel some kind of way about me sharing my content to certain Google Plus communities, again. It is ONLY a matter of time, until the asshole moderators censor my content again by blocking, blacklisting, demonizing, and suspending me and my account. 

All the while, an opportunistic, social climbing copycat, who continues to monopolize other Google Plus communities that I belonged to long before she joined them is allowed to share her content without attempting to help me out of a bad situation. 

More and more, I continue to miss the original Xanga where I didn't have to work so hard to generate blog traffic, and when I made top blogger multiple times. I would just like to thank all of those, who read my Song Saturday blog featuring Type O Negative's banned cover of "Summer Breeze," which is titled "Summer Girl." 

In case you missed yesterday's Song Saturday blog, here it is once again.

If you missed last Thursday's blog with my explanation as to why I stopped blogging literally 4 MONTHS ago, you can read it HERE.

Speaking of hunting, I have a Horror Animated Short for Cartoon Sunday, which is about hunting. However, it is a different type of hunting. 

Have you ever done any ghost hunting? 

Never in my life have I ever ghost hunted. My house is already haunted. That's not including the death warnings my spirit guide sends me on occasion, as I try my hardest to escape the gravitational pull of this house.

After watching Paul Ferruccio's ghost hunting story (which was illustrated by Llama Arts and narrated by Christian Johnston), it reminded me of those stories I heard from friends and others about the Ouija Board. 

Have you ever used the Ouija Board? 

I never tried it, nor would I ever recommend it. Years ago, my friend's husband told me about the time he played with a Ouija Bord in his house. He claimed his "Fundamentalist Christian" mother stopped him from playing with the board and she began to pray over it. In the middle of praying, the cross on their wall sparked on fire. 

Even though Paul Ferruccio's creepy story has nothing to do with using the Ouija Board, his ghost hunting story reminds me of my friend's husband's story. For today's Cartoon Sunday, here is Paul Ferruccio's creepy ghost hunting story.

Song Saturday: Siouxsie And The Banshees Halloween Block

How's it going lurkers? Do you feel like you learned something from yesterday's blog in regards to trick-or-treating? 

I really hope so because there is a lot, that most of us didn't already know before I published that blog.

October will be over soon. Can you believe that Halloween is in ONLY 3 more days?

At the beginning of this week, it was difficult trying to decide what to share for today. I could not choose between Siouxsie And The Banshees and Danzig's old Horror-Punk band, The Misfits. Both were Goth Rock bands with songs about the holiday, Halloween.

However, Glenn Danzig and The Misfits were more Horror-Punk. Because Siouxsie And The Banshees captures kooky and spookiness so much better, I decided to share more Siouxsie And The Banshees.

Songs from Siouxsie And The Banshees' 4th album, Juju works perfectly for Halloween. During 1981, the album was commercially successful in the United Kindgom.  

Juju has been viewed as a landmark album of the Post-Punk Rock genre. 

In 2005, Siouxsie And The Banshees' 4th album, Juju was published in Universe Publishing's book, 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.

Meanwhile, according to The Guardian in 2007, Juju ranked on the "1000 Albums To Hear Before You Die" List. 

The British daily newspaper reported, "Perennial masters of brooding suspense, the Banshees honed their trademark aloof art rock to its hardest and darkest pitch on Juju."

I must say, the songs on Juju can be dark. This can most definitely be said about the song, "Voodoo Dolly." "Voodoo Dolly" should've been a hit single from Juju, if you ask me.

It is surprising that "Voodoo Dolly" was NEVER released on a soundtrack. "Spellbound" and "Halloween" are 2 other songs, that you should add to your Halloween or Horror Music Playlists.

Although, I am highly biased to say that "Voodoo Dolly" should be on your playlist, before any other song from Siouxsie And The Banshees' Juju album.

"Voodoo Dolly" has a haunting, spooky, and ominous tone. This is especially when you listen to Siouxsie Sioux's vocals on that track.

Whenever listening to "Voodoo Dolly," I automatically expect a ghost from the graveyard to suddenly jump out and frighten someone, if not a scornful witch performing a curse on an enemy.

Get ready to be spellbound before Halloween with a Voodoo Dolly for today's Song Saturday Block. There is a triple dose of songs from Siouxsie And The Banshees' 4th album, Juju.

1) Siouxsie And The Banshees "Spellbound" Juju (1981)

2) Siouxsie And The Banshees "Halloween" Juju (1981)

 

3) Siouxsie And The Banshees "Voodoo Dolly" Juju (1981)

Early Song Saturday: Danzig Block

How's it going lurkers? Because we have to celebrate my mother's birthday on Sunday, I am sharing Song Saturday and Cartoon Sunday early. Her birthday was actually on April 26th.

Throughout April, there were so many events simultaneously happening, that my mother's birthday celebration was delayed. Not that she cares too much.

Aside from my mother's birthday celebration, let's return to the Rock. Yes, I know some of you have been waiting for this. 

After browsing around this site, I realized that I only have 1 Song Saturday blog about Danzig. I was quite surprised.

Danzig was another band I used to play on my radio show, All Things Frightening, 14-15 years ago. I don't recall of ever playing "Mother" simply because it was the most OVER played song by Danzig. 

At the time, I regularly played new songs from his I Luciferi album. Normally, I aired "Angel Blake" on WIPZ. Sometimes I played "Wicked Pussycat."

It is ridiculous that so many Rock stations never want to play other songs released by Danzig. It wouldn't surprise me if that was the main reason why Glenn Danzig would always be pissed off, during other interviews.

For years, the media ALWAYS depicted the man so horribly. Marilyn Manson is constantly condemned and demonized in the media too, but at least Rock stations still play more than 1 song by him.

Whether I am watching TV, listening to a radio station, or talking to someone on or offline, people and the media always frame Danzig as being this big, scary, angry Satanist.

Honestly, I feel the media launched a smear campaign against Glenn Danzig because he won't validate much less tolerate their bullshit and it threatens them. 

There is so much we DON'T  know about Danzig, that someone would have to personally sit and interview him. However, I believe the media demonized him to the extent, that he automatically developed a scandalous reputation.

Some of you may recall that last May, I had the wonderful opportunity of interviewing White Zombie's former co-founder and bassist, Sean Yseult. It was quite an honor.

Too bad I never had the chance to interview Metal vocalists such as Type O Negative's Peter Steele and Glenn Danzig on my radio show. Despite what those critics say about Danzig, they will not give him a chance because they fear him.

I have watched this man in past interviews with some interviewers and he didn't try attacking any of them. 

Here is an interview Glenn Danzig did with Loudwire. In this interview, he mentioned that he wanted to quit touring after 2015.

Loudwire: Glenn Danzig Plans To Quit Touring After 2015 With Superjoint (2015)

 

The preceding interview with Loudwire was uploaded on October 22, 2015. Then, on October 30, 2015, Rolling Stone uploaded an interview with Glenn Danzig. In that interview, he explained about movies that still scare him.

Rolling Stone: Glenn Danzig Talks About Movies That Scare Him (2015)

If I would've interviewed Glenn Danzig 15 years ago, I don't believe we would've ever had any problems. Our interview probably would've gone swimmingly well. 

 

The fact that he is a Horror fan and has an appreciation for art as well as Japanese animation (Anime), we probably would've had a fun time together.

Speaking of Glenn Danzig and Anime, he has a GREAT  appreciation for the Mangaka, Kiyoshi Nagai. He is best known under the pen name, Go Nagai. 

Also, Danzig aspired to be a comic book artist, when he was growing up. He was frustrated with American comics years ago and wanted to create "crazy, violent, erotic comics."

Glenn Danzig attended New York University Tisch School of the Arts and The New York Institute of Photography. By 1994, he launched Verotik, which is an adult-oriented comic book publisher.

As far as The Arts go, Glenn Danzig is very well educated and has a lot versatility. (It is amazing what you can learn, when conducting research!) 

This Goth Metal vocalist is HIGHLY underrated for his talents and deserves a lot more praise than being famous for the song, "Mother."

In regards to Glenn Danzig's vocals, I had the hardest time figuring out, who he sounds like for the last 2 decades. Recently, it dawned on me.

Glenn Danzig sounds a LOT like the late Elvis Presley and The Doors frontman, Jim Morrison performing Goth Metal and Horror-Punk.

As a quick side note, music journalist, Simon Reynolds considers Jim Morrison's sound as being Goth Rock. I always considered Morrison's songs to be pretty Goth too, when you REALLY think about some of his lyrics.

Imagine Jim Morrison fronting Goth Rock and Horror-Punk bands. That's Glenn Danzig in a nutshell. In fact, he credits Morrison as being 1 of his early musical influences.

Today fellow Danzig fans are in for a treat. For this early Song Saturday blog, 7 songs by Danzig are featured, which are from 7 of his 11 albums. 

Never have I ever played THAT MANY songs in a block by Danzig, when I was a Radio DJ at WIPZ.

This block of songs is especially beneficial for all those, who have NEVER heard any song(s) by Glenn Danzig except "Mother."

Before I forget, Danzig's new album, Black Laden Crown is set to release on May 26, 2017. Anyway, here is Danzig for today's early Song Saturday.

1) Danzig [Featuring Metallica's James Hetfield] "Possession" Danzig (1988)

2) Danzig "Her Black Wings" Danzig II: Lucifuge (1990)

 

3) Danzig "How The Gods Kill" Danzig III: How The Gods Kill (1992)

5) Danzig "Deep" Danzig 5: Blackacidevil (1996); The X-Files Soundtrack (1996)

6) Danzig "Angel Blake" Danzig 777: I Luciferi (2002)

7) Danzig "Devil On Hwy 9" Black Laden Crown (2017)

Song Saturday: Danzig's Cantspeak

How's it going lurkers? Hopefully all is well on your ends. This past week was a little better than the last 3 weeks. However, it wasn't fantastic. I'm still being more reclusive on and offline. Just the other day, I began brainstorming a list to publish in a new blog. It's something I plan on sharing here.

Luckily, I have been in a more "zen" mood before the start of this week. I didn't have a chance to listen to any more Enya. Although, listening to Tool's albums Undertow, Aenima, and Lateralus put me more at ease.

Before I forget, if you're in the mood to listen to bands fronted by Maynard James Keenan check out the link below:

Song Saturday: Maynard James Keenan (2014)

To be honest, I am more of A Perfect Cicle fan than I am of Tool. Regardless, listening to Tool put me at ease. This was partly because I was checking out something, that a Xangan friend and subscriber shared on her Facebook wall. Talk about '90s nostalgia.

Honestly, I don't care what people say. The '80s and '90s had much better music than these last 10 years. Every music genre was heard on local radio stations and everything in music wasn't about pushing a political agenda.

During the mid-90's, I liked listening to Green Day. That was until they suddenly became a self-righteous, politically divisive, sellout, Pop-Punk band in 2004.

Speaking of '90s music and radio stations, I always hated that radio stations contributed to making bands 1-Hit Wonders. Take Danzig, for example.

Within the last 2 decades, the man has released 9 albums YET all the Rock stations only want to play is "Mother!" Like seriously? C'mon! As much as I liked listening to "Mother," it's NOT  the only Danzig song in existence.

It was not until I started hosting my own radio show during college, that more local listeners began hearing other Danzig songs like "Wicked Pussycat" and "Angel Blake" from Glenn Dazig's 2002 album, I Luciferi. Both MTV and Fuse TV use to air Danzig's music videos. This cannot be said about local Rock stations here in WI.

During 1995, I used to stay up until midnight to see the music video for "Cantspeak" on MTV. Until this very day, "Cantspeak" is STILL my favorite song from Danzig. The music video was directed by Fred Stuhr. Stuhr is mostly known for directing Tool's music videos. 

Supposedly, when Fred Stuhr was in the process of shooting Danzig's music video for "Cantspeak," Stuhr"wanted to create a sense of someone being trapped, someone who can't speak. He's not alive or dead. He's just an ideal, a soul, an existence floating in and out of this time, this reality."

Anyway, here is Danzig's "Cantspeak" for today's Song Saturday.
