DJ Nihil

Sanders is actually doing better than I suspected he ever would be and I really hope he wins the nomination because Hilary sure as shit isn't going to do anyone any favors.

Mental Health is probably the worst it has ever been. Job isn't doing me any favors and I have not been successful in trying to find other work. People just aren't worth the flesh they have and life is just one gigantic pain in the ass.

Hey all, just happened to see this online and it wasn't posted yet:

Justifiably so. It is better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

Well if you have Steam and want to play Magic for free, the annual Duels of the Planeswalkers game is out called Magic Duels Origins and is free to play. It does have coins you can buy to get packs of cards, but the coins can also be earned without spending any money, by simply playing the game.

There was a group of guys at my job that were playing, and still do, but I had to bow out because I remembered why I quit playing Magic in the first place. It's expensive. I played Magic Online for a while, which is cheaper than the paper version, but the casual scene is pretty much dead, so I am glad the Duels Origins game came along. I can finally play Magic for free without having to waste the gas on going to the game store.

Anyway, not to derail the thread, I'm really struggling mentally too, I wish I could afford to see the therapist more than once a month, but it's all I can do with the money I make. My situation might change next year, depending on if certain businesses open up Downriver here, but that's all hearsay at this point.

Hopefully things pick up for you Troy. Life seems to be giving a lot of DGNers a kick in the ass of late.

My condolences man. I am glad you are feeling better now. I've hospitalized myself before and depending on where you go, it's a less pleasant experience than others.

I wasn't a fan of the treatment I received at an Oakwood hospital years ago. But that's another story for another time.

Necto is a nice club as others have said. I've seen Suicide Commando and Icon of Coil there, and those were some pretty unforgettable performances. Of course, Necto is also in Ann Arbor, which has always been a safe place.

I've been to Northern Lights for a couple of Goth Nights, it's a pretty nice place. Not sure if those are still going on there though.

Small's in Hamtramck seems to be the place for the CC crowd. Most of the scene shows are happening there. I like Small's. Neighborhood is less sketchy and seems like a better crowd overall. They also have the 'Thirst Wave' events there.

Hi and welcome.

Finally as of a couple of days ago, Small's and Darque Productions made this official here:

Chameleons Vox at Small's

Tix are $14 in advance.

If you've ever wanted to see the band like I have, this will probably be your last chance. It's being booked as the farewell tour, and Script of the Bridge is being played in its entirety.

I DJ'ed on a local college station for a few years under another name doing a Metal and Goth show, then I moved away and came back and returned to that same station for a year doing Goth/Industrial and I selected DJ Nihil. Show was called Ultra. Both taken from the KMFDM album Nihil, and I am a bit of a Nihilist myself.

Yeah I like Steak N Shake. Cheaper alternative to Red Robin and other expensive burger places. Frequent coupons in the mail, etc.

In Sept./Oct. They have this Oktoberfest burger that has beer mustard, onions, ham, and swiss cheese on a pretzel bun. I get it without the onions. It's awesome. Otherwise I like their Royale burger, which has cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and mayo.

Dammit, now I'm hungry.

Yeah, that guy like most of the Republican candidates is pretty much off his goddamned rocker.

Snyder was talking about running, but thankfully won't be doing so.

We're so far gone on either side of the political fence, it doesn't make a difference if your Democrat or Republican. All the parties care about are serving the 1% folks that paid to get them there.

I'd much rather vote for someone like Bernie Sanders, who is one of like 3 currently serving Independent politicians in DC. He is running as a Democrat in 2016 but has good ideas for seriously fixing problems and actually at least seems to pretend to give a shit about the middle class.

Being alone used to bother me but it doesn't anymore. The tired and repetitive rejection does and it hurts more everytime it happens rather than making things less painful. I have given up on the possibility of finding someone and would rather just be left the fuck alone at this point.

I have very little responsibilities and no kids and that is going to make things easier in the long run. I'd rather have calm, and peace and quiet forever at this point. If I should happen to meet someone, then fine, but it is at the bottom of my list of priorities at this point.

Oh my goth!

I need to be there! Here's hoping tix aren't too expensive and the tour doesn't get cancelled!

As someone who lives Downriver can attest, in the last 12 months prior to my current job, I spent 4 months unemployed and the two previous jobs I had to my current employer were in Commerce Township and Farmington Hills respectively. I don't miss the 3 hour commutes home in the snow on NW Highway and I-275.

I work at Walmart now near my place, and it is far more satisfying, and less than 10 minutes away. The job is slightly above minimum wage and gives me enough to pay the rent and the bills, but not much else. However, it is enough for me.

Thank you so much DP for booking the band!

The show was amazing!

Citizen Koch - A documentary about the Koch brothers and all of the corporate contributions to our political campaigns and how fucked things are. It's a recommended must watch.

Heh. Another year older I am, yet feel twice as old.

Thanks again all!

I've been there fairly recently, as I went back in Feb of this year. It looks good in there now, the way everything is currently setup. May want to give yourselves several hours to see everything. THere is a lot to cover.

Also if you are a Wayne, Oakland, or Macomb county resident, you get in free with a picture ID thanks to the millage that was passed a couple years ago.

Holy fucking shit! Tix are bought as soon as they go on sale! We have not had a year for shows this fucking amazing in a long time, if ever!

Excitement!

This was just announced this morning via Grendel's twitter account.

Grendel, Ludovico Technique, and DJ Electronic Commando live at Small's!

Wednesday, August 20th, 2014 at 8 PM!

I have been waiting years to see Grendel as last time they attempted to tour the US in 2006, got stopped at the border reentering the US and were not able to finish the tour. I remember spotting the band a couple of bucks back then to help them out and patiently waiting for their return. Even found a old thread on DGN from when it happened: http://www.detroitgothic.net/index.php?showtopic=9101

Turning out to be a great year for rare shows here, DeVision, Suicide Commando, and now Grendel! We were also among the first cities to be announced no less! Hopefully things will keep going.

Show was amazing last night! Despite the fact Johan had a twisted ankle, he performed anyway.

Set was a combination of old and new and included, though not in order:

Bind, Torture, Kill

God is in the Rain

Raise Your God

Dein Herz, Meine Gier

Love Breeds Suicide

The Pleasures of Sin

Die Motherfucker Die

Hate Me

When Evil Speaks

Monster

Unterwelt

Time (Rewind)

Encore:

See You in Hell

I was surprised by the turn out, especially given how people around here like to bitch about shows that take place during the week, and these same folks wonder why no big name bands like to play here.

Even if there never is another Suicide Commando show around here, I am ok with this. This was just simply one of the best fucking shows I have ever seen in my life, and I have been going to concerts for 16 years now. Thanks so much to Johan and crew for performing and to all the staff at Necto responsible for booking this thing!! I will never forget this concert!

Thanks for the info Saint.

I can't wait. 3 more days!
