At midnight tonight "Digital Meltd0wn's Nightmare Before Christmas" will begin. While many bloggers will be spreading the holiday cheer by sharing Christmas-themed albums, we here at Digital Meltd0wn have decided to say: Bah! Humbug! For those who haven't been following the blog, basically we plan to take the exact opposite course of those bloggers by sharing a plethora of horrifying and blasphemous items. For those of you who are familiar with the Halloween Countdown event, the concept is very similar. We will attempt to post at least one horror-related item each day during the month of December until Christmas arrives.
In addition to the regular contributors here at DM, we will be joined by a couple of special guest bloggers. Strange Ranger from the Motherfucker=Redeemer blog and Phelpster from the Manchester Morgue blog will be our special guests of honor, and I'm sure you will bedelighted horrified by the material they intend to share. I would like to thank them for being generous enough to devote their time to this project. Please make them feel welcome here. We may also have a few more guest bloggers join us as late arrivals during the weeks to come.
I won't reveal what my fellow contributors intend to share, but I wanted to give you an idea of some of the items that I personally intend to post. The majority of my posts will most likely consist of out of print soundtracks to horror films. As requested, I plan to continue where I left off with the "Main Titles From Unreleased Horror Scores" series. I also plan to share more horror comic/magazine scans. Warren's "Famous Monsters of Filmland" will definitely make an appearance. I will leave it up to the readers to decide, but I will either continue where I left off with the "Creepy" and "Eerie" series, or share the complete run of EC's "The Vault of Horror" and "The Haunt of Fear". Lovecraft fans can expect to see various items devoted to the master.
It's almost midnight now, so without further ado, let Digital Meltd0wn's Nightmare Before Christmas begin...

this looks like its going to rock , cant wait to see what you and your team is going to come up with
ReplyDeleteThis belated thanks is long in coming, so please accept my regrets for not having expressed my appreciation sooner.
ReplyDeleteWith a world of blogs & sites available to visit, I've found myself making sure that I never miss your extremely creative posts.
To be able to distinguish one's self from everyone else on the net is quite a feat - to be able to do so with such entertaining results is nothing short of a miracle.
The Meltdown aggregator is/was so well done - I'm sorry it was either too much with all of the other things you have in your life, I just wanted to let you know that it was appreciated for what it was - and what was it?
Well, to me, I simply found that upon initial perusal, the way you laid out the page worked so nicely for me and the way my eye-to-brain thing works - so easy to use & comprehensive.
I respect your decision to go in other directions, I just wanted to let you know that somewhere out there, there was a guy who thought highly of your effort.
That's it - I look forward to your music posts - I also appreciated the comics, etc. - I've read all the creepy, eerie stuff you offered up and also thoroughly got off on the Lights Out, etc.
I hope to continue to visit with you and look forward to what you have to share... I'm a fan - be safe and happy holidays to you and your loved ones

@Jeff: Most of the people that I am close to in real life do not understand my fascination for music, let alone share it. With that in mind, please know that comments such as yours mean the world to me. It is a good feeling to know that some people truly appreciate my efforts. Thank you so much for your kind words of encouragement. They do motivate me and encourage me to keep doing this, in spite of all the difficulties I face in my personal life.
ReplyDeleteI started the DM Aggregator/Blogroll because I know that there are many others who share my fascination for music, and may not have the resources available to them to find what they are looking for. Aside from that, at the time other blogrolls and aggregators neglected to categorize the blogs they listed according to genre, which always frustrated me a bit.
Fortunately I have good news for you. A friend of mine agreed to help out with the DM blogroll/aggregator. Unfortunately he isn't very familiar with the music blog scene, which may pose some problems at first. However, he happens to be a very dedicated individual, and I'm sure that he will catch on quickly. Perhaps at least one or two more people will step forward and offer to contribute. If that happens then I would finally be able to focus my time on working on a script I had in mind which would display the most recent posts for each particular category. I have always had a number of ideas which would make the site better, yet have always lacked the available time to implement them. Perhaps one day...
In the meantime, I hope my news will brighten your day just a bit. Thank you once again and take care.
