Hey! Look at this! The good people at COMA Music Magazine took it upon their fine selves to compile and release a virtually free compilation of largely exclusive industrial music!
There are some really great artists and friends on this release. For real:

Backing video from "The First Band Ever To Play Resistanz Festival (We're #1)"
Not really a "music video", but the backing visuals from our performance of "The First Band Ever to Play Resistanz Festival (We're #1)" at 2011's Resistanz Festival in Sheffield, England.
This track was produced by Faderhead and features guest vocals from Thomas Rainer of Nachtmahr and Richard Pyne of Uberbyte.
It's acceptably unlikely that this song and said backing video will ever be performed again, so that's why I'm putting it on YouTube.
I put the non-backing track version of this track (via the Resistanz Festival 2011 compilation from Deathwatch Asia, which you should totally buy), over the video so it would make more sense in a YouTube setting.
This video involved me stealing 3D spinning gifs from Cezkid and other stuff from the Internet at large.
I wrote the lyrics and did the vox on the new #1 summer jam,"Watch Out Motherfucker, I Know Karate", from SANTA HATES YOU, side-project of the legendary PROJECT PITCHFORK.
The track will appear on the upcoming album, "JOLLY ROGER", set to be released AUGUST 12th.
THIS IS GOING TO BE TITS OUT:
3. Interviewed in two parts on "DETOX", the awesome from the illustrious Matt Fanale of CAUSTIC. This interview also takes place with Eric Gottesman of EVERYTHING GOES COLD, who I like a lot:
You can now own a piece of the smash WTII Records Minifest with this exclusive compilation featuring an also exclusive Gothsicles remix from Chicago superdude, DEATH OF SELF:
On JULY 16th on WNUR 89.3 in the EVANSTON / CHICAGO area, I'm gonna be shooting the sheeat with my good friends, brokEn36 of HIDDEN FORMS radio and David Schock of WTII RECORDS!:
tune in Chicago at WNUR89.3FM stream the show LIVE
chat us up on IM @ WNURdj
follow the LIVE playlist on Twitter
or call in at (847)866-WNUR
6. GEN CON SHOW! GEN CON SHOW!
I can't say too much right now 'cause it's still forming in the fruit of thy womb Jesus, but we'll definitely be playing (somewhere near the convention) in Indianapolis on SATURDAY, AUGUST 6th.
Check out the HERCULEAN track commemorating the 500th song of the indomitable FuMP!
Guest vocals by myself, Katja, and just about everyone in the dementia scene:

Show Announcement for March 4th, 2011
Webserver access was down for a while, so I'm hyper late on posting this one, but, dude, check it out:
The good people at NoisescapeTV.com did another Gothsicles interview at this year's Kinetik Festival. The performance audio from this video is right off the board, so the music levels are kind of wacky. That's okay, though, right? Cool.

Hah jeez - Compilation Mix Up
Hey, so, uh, they're putting out this comp for the upcoming Triton Festival, which was supposed to have the A23 remix of "Mix This Song into A23's 'Maps of Reality'", but ended up featuring the original (and dated) version of that track instead. The rest of the compilations looks pretty good though, and you can always get the intended Assemblage 23 remix for free over at VampireFreaks: http://music.vampirefreaks.com/download/album.php?id=497
I keep forgetting to post this 'cause I suck, but it's an honor to be featured as a guest vocalist on the new Dark Clan double album Fade / Dance Magic Dance!
2. Redoing the "Audio" section to include shit like remixes, compilations and collaborations. It's something of a work in progress.
3. Posted the backing visuals from "Holy Shit, We're Playing Kinetik":

Did a Guest Review
I did a super special guest celebri-star review of the new Assemblage 23 in this month's issue of Auxiliary Magazine, featuring some missing words and drunken grammatical mistakes.
Thirdly, this is the first new post to appear since making this an RSS feed, so the first person to email me with the subject line "SUPER PRIZE" gets a super prize. CONTEST STATUS: STILL OPEN
- A fan site also popped up on Facebook (much thanks).
Neither of these things have anything to do with Moon Knight.

SEGA LUGOSI'S DEAD OUT NOW
Hey!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
The new full length >> SEGA LUGOSI'S DEAD << is out now!
Check this shit out:
"...these Chicago natives are well on their way to their own T.V. show, soft-drink licensing deal, and perhaps even a movie such as Kiss’s legendary 1978 film KISS MEETS THE PHANTOM OF THE PARK."
Tour starts Friday!
If you wanna follow said tour on twitter (or just see when I've been drinkin' or what Caustic's thoughts on America's Next Top Model are), you do that here or here, respectively.
Additionally, The Great Luke Ski, mad genius of lyrical fandom, drew a picture of us as Star Trek people. I'd like to do a body shot of kanar offa that.

Cameo action w/ Caustic
Did some guest vox for the Caustic track, "Teabaggin'", which revolves around the concept of me rubbing my jumblies on Matt and his belongings.
Said track is included on the new new new Caustic CD, "This is Jizzcore" (set to be released tomorrow!), but you can hear it now on his myspace:
The Onion's A.V. Club mentions The Gothsicles in the 2008 "Year in Band Names" article under "Hey, Kinda Funny". That's kinda neat right there, but the real prize are some of the other band names on that site, as they are hilarious.
