Clothing sale. And a playlist for Modern Victorian Vampires

[cupcake_goth]

Thing One: I am going to post the list for the closet culling sale on Saturday, February 27th. Probably around noon PST. This is your advance notice. ::grin::

Thing Two: Over on my Twitter, I posted the following: La la la, updating my Modern Victorian Vampires iTune playlist. My, what a lot of cello and creepy circus music I have, but I need more!

I do need more music for this playlist, really, I do. But that tweet had people asking me what was ON my Modern Victorian Vampires playlist, so here it is, under the cut-tag.

I'm a Vampire - Future Bible Heroes

[cherry-faery.livejournal.com]

Seconded! That's a fantastic song!

[meiow.livejournal.com]

I <3 that song! Thirded!

[tinkerbell86ca.livejournal.com]

Must download that play list as I am getting an external hard drive for my computer. . .it demands to be filled up with lots of pretty music!

*SQUEE!* Wardrobe culling! I'll be there, mouse and key bored ready!

As for music . . . Pachelbel's Cannon? Mad World by Gary Jules? (that last one is a sad mopey song that reminds me of sad mopey Victorian teens lolling about a sun room)

[tiatsuchi.livejournal.com]

There's probably some Dark Clan songs that would work well. I think A Flight of Scarlet would match best. You can get it as a free download on their site. Also, <3 Hannah Fury and Rasputina so happy you included them. :D

Thanks for the heads up. I just checked, and I have family stuff that morning, but I'll probably load your page over the phone.

I love this piece


sorry today didn't work out.
later this week. yes. xo

Creature Feature has a really cool piece called "Death of a Doll Maker"; it's instrumental and has a steam punk vibe to it-- music boxes and ratchets. http://www.myspace.com/creaturefeaturemusic You should be able to find it there.

Abney Park is also very good, but I'd imagine you've already heard of them.

The Rohan Theater Band is one of my favorites, found years ago via myspace, I think. He's got a very gravelly voice-- a lot like a very morose Tom Waits. I recommend When I'm Gone, Dead Roses and Wine, and How Many Ways if you're curious.http://www.rohan-k.co.uk/rtcds.html You should be able to sample him there if interested.

I also stumbled across a performer named Haley Westenra who did a LOVELY song called Dark Waltz; I don't know anything about her other stuff. She's for sure on iTunes.

Sorry, didn't mean to write a novel; I love sharing musical finds. :)

Have you been here? I LOVE THIS SITE :D
http://www.themonsterclub.com/radiolibrary.htm

they have some of Vincent Price's "the price of fear" radio plays! so much oogy fun!

[lemonwitch.livejournal.com]

Holy crap!! Thank you so much-- I am THERE!

And love to Barnabus! ;)

[maudelynn.livejournal.com]

ME TOO! I am so excited to see Depp's version.

[smu.livejournal.com]

Good list. Do I need to make you another zip file? :D

[celadon-noise.livejournal.com]

look for Black Cat Orchestra... they'd probably fit in.

Song Suggestions and also a radio station

[cherry-faery.livejournal.com]

You have some fantastic choices on your playlist already. Here's hoping that you can use some of these. :)

- Omnis Mundi Creatura by Helium Vola
- Duett by ASP (Actually this band is pretty fun anyway but the subtitle for this track is "Love song for the succubi" so I would say it fits.)
- Love Never Dies (part 1) by Apoptygma Berserk (I'm actually certain that you've heard these guys before but it would be fitting for the theme methinks)
- Love at First Bite by Nekromantix (Okay so it's more psychobilly than Victorian but it's a slower more melodic kind of song.)

And just a heads up, if you ever want to listen to a radio station and you happen to have iTunes, you should look up Sanctuary on there. It's filed under the Alternative stuff and it plays some fantastic stuff. It can get a little EBM heavy but it plays all walks of life on there so it comes highly suggested.

Do you have any city of lost children? Wonderful creepy carnival french-like music.

[10pm.livejournal.com]

my god how i love rasputina!
and i look forward to your clothing sale :D

Ooh, I have lots....

[requieminblack.livejournal.com]

Some of these may be a little too wacky circus-y for your taste, but I suggest:

-Anything off the Alu 'Lobotomy Sessions' cd.
-'Boulevard Of Broken Dreams' by Marianne Faithfull
-'Circus Fish' by Vermillion Lies
-'Tiny, Little' by Tub Ring
-'Had Enough of Me' by Darrin James Band
-'Script Language' by Humanwine
-'A Giver' by Orion Rigel Dommisse
-'Ave B' by Gogol Bordello
-'Katrinah Josephina' by Universal Hall Pass
-'Lady Scarface' by Lydia Lunch
-'Sympathy' by Matson Jones
-'Light the Match' by Mirah
-'Le Figlie Della Tempesta' by My Dying Bride
-'The Proposition #1' by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis
-'The Idiot's Genius' by Andrew Bird's Bowl Of Fire

...yea, that's about half my 'thumbs up' list from Pandora, lol.

[nelsolidarida.livejournal.com]

Ash - Vampire Love

Tea Party - Sister Awake

[wastedmouthfull.livejournal.com]

Black tape for a blue girl.

[blutsauger.livejournal.com]

I wonder why The Art Of Suicide by EA isn't on the list, it may not be circus-y, but I think it fits. Also Marry Me does.
Ahhh, Malice Mizer, they're lovely! And veeery whacky circus music, too. Maybe you'd take a look at Gackt's music, I think you'd like Vanilla a lot. ^-^ Or EMU for my dear.

Others:

Farewell - Apocalyptica (eiter with vocals or without, both are lovely! I'd generally recommend Apocalyptica since you're also fond of bombast music and they play that by their celli and a drumset!)

Und wir tanzten - ASP

[mr-cutiepants.livejournal.com]

Unto Ashes -- good choice! As well as being old friends with a band member, I also think they are a fabulous band. :)

Perfect for this theme.
