Fractures - Twisted

This song is oddly addictive and perfect in its injuriously gentle, haunting impact.

The Velvet Darkness: Goth Day celebration all day tomorrow!

"The way is not easy, I know, but I will take you by the hand and lead you through the cruel light into the velvet darkness" Vincent Price in the "Masque of the Red Death"

Tomorrow, Wednesday May 22nd is World Goth Day, a day to celebrate all things dark, dangerous, eerie, melancholy and wicked. Leather and lace and corsets and kohl and tall shiny boots. Come to the Velvet that day and enter the Cruel Garden of Dark Delights where aural roses with many thorns will prick your brain as grown by DJs/goth gardeners Enthropy Panache, Lucretia, Chrisodd, Paradox Messmer and Mallory Cerise from 11am-9pm SLT. Let us seduce you with our schedule for that day's macabre happenings:

11am-1pm: Enthropy Panache
1-3pm: Lucretia1995 (Lucy)
3-5pm: Chirsodd
5-7pm: Paradox Messmer
7-9pm: Mallory Cerise

O CIRCO

A machinima by Falcao Real of the Circus of Dreams.

Circus of Dreams! May 4th, starting 11 AM (SL)

Roll up to the Big Top at the Velvet on May 4th from 11am SLT when eleven DJs (see schedule, lower right) will play circus-themed songs and clown around in celebration of the "Greatest Show on Virtual Earth".

This is no ordinary circus though, the emphasis is on the surreal, the bizarre and the dreamlike, evoking the origins of the circus as tribute to the sun god Helios by Circe the enchantress.

Join us in the circle as we welcome the summer in Velvet fashion, with great music and spectacle guaranteed!
