This is my long overdue pingback to the Cocteau Twins' 1990 LP, _Heaven or Las Vegas_.
Thank you for your interest in my work. Your kind words, praise and image faves are highly encouraging and deeply appreciated.

Cocteau Twins were a Scottish rock trio (1979 to 1997)

Here is a sample video (with bokeh!): youtu.be/L_Tj4bJ0VFw
Theirs was a distinctive sound described at the time as "ethereal goth;" which begat a music subgenre now called "synthwave," "darkwave," "shoegazer," or "dream pop."
One would listen to their LP records (or CDs) from start to finish; single songs just weren't enough! They were a posterchild for 4AD, a British independent record label that packaged albums with visually distinctive identities that incorporated abstract images like my photograph above.

CLICK + DRAG 3.1/ THE SECOND COMING
SANTOS PARTY HOUSE
96 LAFAYETTE STREET NYC
"SURELY SOME REVELATION IS AT HAND" - W.B. Yeats, THE SECOND COMING, 1919
The pioneering "Cyber/Fetish/Gender-Hacking" party CLICK + DRAG, which ushered out the 20th Century in style and returned with a bang in 2008, held its second annual Future-Spectacle on October 17. Two of Click's founding producers - director and visual artist ROB ROTH and nightlife impresario CHI CHI VALENTI of THE JACKIE FACTORY staged this year's epic CLICK + DRAG 3.1/ THE SECOND COMING at sympatico venue SANTOS PARTY HOUSE. CLICK 3.1/ THE SECOND COMING was a two floor, evening-length epic, preserving the night's strict dress code and pansexual mix of fetishists, artists, gender-hackers and "Glam Nerds."
CLICK 3.1 was inspired by the W.B. YEATS poem THE SECOND COMING, and its themes of new gods for (often terrifying) new Ages, "Spiritus Mundi" or universal subconscious, and a post-Christian world. CLICK 3.1 celebrated gender-bending new prophets and prophetesses, and the neo-tribalism that borrows elements from a myriad of religions to create new believers and practices. CLICK + DRAG 3.1 featured multimedia works directed by Roth and installations and performances by dozens of collaborators.
CLICK 2009 highlights included trans icon and vocalist OUR LADY J, who presented GOSPEL FOR THE GODLESS with piano, choir and chadri design by GARO SPARO, gender-illuminati cabaret troupe THE PIXIE HARLOTS in THE SWITCHING HOUR, and Method Go-Go icons FALON, AMBER RAY and SEQUINETTE. The DJ roster included original Click (and SCISSOR SISTERS) DJ SAMMY JO, DJ JOHNNY DYNELL (who created the night's signature mixes for the clicknyc.com website and show) Darkwave DJs JOSH CHEON (SF) and JOHANNA CONSTANTINE, and electro DJ ANGELO.
Main floor DJs Johnny Dynell (left) and Sammy Jo worked the vintage deacon coats for all they were worth - and rocked the dancefloor.

To exceed the ordinary, the artist knows, is both a blessing and a curse. Each touch, each word, each act of creation becomes a paradox: an offering to eternity but rooted in the fleeting frailty of the present. What if they fail? What if the light within, so achingly bright, burns them to ash rather than illuminating their path?

12PM – 11PM SLT
LM: maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/TheRefuge/195/97/23
This is a one-day descent into sonic warfare and dark resurrection. DJ's and a live musician will conjure unholy frequencies - darkwave, industrial, ritual bass, and undead club chaos - echoing through trenches of fog and fire. Inspired by Full Metal Jacket and dragged through the crypt of gothic horror, this is a boot camp for the already buried. Gas masks hiss. Fatigues bleed. Command comes from beyond the veil.
12-1pm - Traci (live)
1-3pm - Khaos
3-5pm - Tallulah
5-7pm - Oblivia
7-9pm - Creme
9-11pm - Sabbian
Dress Code: Gothic military, undead, vampires, war dolls or come as you are dressed in black.
"This isn’t a rave. It’s a ritual."
***Highly recommended: Use a "PBR" viewer and enable "Shared Environment" for full immersion.
