It is always nice to see creative projects which embrace multiple media. Goth-industrial musician Bryan Lee of Snuttock works with a creepy recurring visual motif of antique dolls. See the photo of the artist below by Blue Flame Photography. Also check out the video by Laurie A. Smith for Snuttock’s Catharsis.
Sasha Grey plays the faithless love in the new video for Space Bound by Eminem. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again (extra often if pressed): Eminem is one of the strongest gothic artists performing today. Space Bound is bullet-through-your-brains-brokenhearted level gothtastic.
I’m pleased that multiple sites, photographers, and talent in Blue Blood’s SpookyCash have also received nominations this year in the AltPorn.Net Awards for excellence in altporn. Blue Blood and Erotic BPM both got nominated for best AltPorn Membership Site – Multigirl/Community. Gothic Sluts was nominated for Best AltPorn Site Redesign and I think Forrest Black [...]
When the Sucker Punch billboards first went up in my neighborhood, I felt conflicted. It seemed, on the face of it, to have a decent checklist of things I would like in a movie, but I instinctively lizard-brain hated it.

I’m pleased that Blue Blood’s SpookyCash affiliate program has been nominated for Specialty Affiliate Program of the Year in the 2011 XBiz Awards.

I was just checking up on Twist Magazine, which is a cool alternative webzine out of Sweden that I like. You’ll need a translator for a lot of the articles but they feature some great concert photos from current tours with bands like Dimmu Borgir and Skinny Puppy. Twist just put up a massive seven [...]
Our old school DC friends Ego Likeness have extended their tour in support of their recent album Breedless and if you haven’t had a chance to catch them live, you really should rectify that. I really like this album a lot. Donna Lynch has a beautiful haunting and powerful voice that sounds so good poured [...]
Is it wrong to kiss and tell? Does it make a difference if you tell just one person or millions of people of just three people but one of them tells millions? This week, the internet is all aflutter over the Karen Owen Powerpoint presentation. If you are not up on your Duke sex scandal [...]
Have you found your Halloween costume yet? Because I think I found mine! I’m sure it comes as no surprise that I’ve always been a fan of the unfortunately late fashion rebel Alexander McQueen and along with our friends (Blue Blood contributors, models, et al.) over at Haute Macabre, I’m happy to see his stylish [...]
My Backstage Passes anthology has been receiving some more nice press this week, so I thought I’d share. Backstage Passes: An Anthology of Rock and Roll Erotica from the Pages of Blue Blood is currently the featured book review on BlogCritic.com. FC Etier, writing for Blog Critic, explains that his Aunt Maude used to describe [...]
