Various updates

I've been on hiatus, sorry. Well it's October, that means I can come out of my cave after hiding from the misery of a 100 degree summer. Yes, I'm one of those freaks that revels in the oncoming of Halloween like it's Christmas. Draped in black or no, I've always been that way. I'm spending a great deal of time lurking down the aisles of local stores looking through decorations. My interior decor will probably consist of nothing but cheap skulls and fake gravestones by the end of the month.

Anyways Music, Fashion, and the occasional book and film are still the name of the game for Dead and Re-Buried, so here's some recent purchases, wants, inspiration, and going ons.

Shoe Purchases:





If I can find someone to grab me these Jimmy Choo for H&M combats I think I'll be happy for awhile.




I'm addicted to draped pieces.



I've had this Oak sleeveless wrap for awhile. It's a staple piece in my wardrobe:



I need about ten more or this one by Rochambeau:



I'm also looking for the perfect motorcycle jacket this fall. I've grown a bit tired of mine. Suggestions are welcome.

The line up also consists of a Cape or Cloak for Halloween or just you know, whenever. Yes, I've been reading a lot of Anne Rice and listening to The Damned.

Dave Vanian trumps Nick Cave for Idol worship.







Music obsession for the past couple months has centered almost solely on Cold-Wave.

Asylum Party probably being my favorite band of the movement.



That being said the next installment of Danse Macabre is in the works so expect a new mixtape soon!

Also if you're in the Dallas area don't forget about my new night "Black Fridays" which falls on the 9th, 23rd, and Devil's Night(The night before Halloween) this month!

Ipso Facto are 3 girls leading up the whole "Nu-Grave" or Goth revival in the UK right now. They share a similar vibe to "The Horrors" in that they sound like this amalgamation of mod, goth, and garage rock.

A Place to Bury Strangers bring Sonic Youth and The Jesus and Mary Chain to mind. Another modern Shoegaze act but there's definitely some darker influences here. Not your typical indie band fraf.

The Big Pink have come shining through from one of my favorite labels of all time, 4AD. They've given us acts such as Cocteau Twins, Bauhaus, The Pixies, and have done a good job of remaining quite pertinent throughout the years. The Big Pink goes the way of more current trends in music by incorporating recognizable electronic sounds and what is generally a normal vocal styling these days. Granted these guys tend to be a bit moodier and just far more listenable and original than a lot of big acts throughout the past year. They're definitely showing a lot of promise.

I pretty much thought Cure covers just had to stop a long time ago, but low and behold these guys have given the cover game some saving grace.

Body to Body

First off I have to credit Tommyboy for having the first blog to pick up on this act. Secondly, Tommy holds a lot of talent and you can credit him for the visual genius in the above video.

Tense is a Texas act hailing out of Houston. Yes, I was surprised too because these guys are churning out some amazing EBM(Electronic Body Music) or what most of you would know as Industrial. Think early Ministry or A Split Second. The drums, synths, and vocal stylings harken back to a much colder age of early to mid 80's club music. This was the "Goth" of Kraftwerk fans and those prone to the brutal dances and rhythms of what seems like music encased in steel. That being said, you will find subtle hints of romanticism in such music or what seems like some slight remnant of 80's New-Wave.

Audio is available for download on Tommyboy's blog and here.
