Registration is now open. It usually takes me a couple of hours or less to validate accouts. If you are coming over from VoD or DR and use the same user name I'll give you Adult access automatically. Anybody else I will contact by DM about Adult access. NOTE I do have spam account creation testing on, but some spam accounts do get through and I check all manually before giving them access. If you create an account where the user name is a series of random letters, the email address is another series of random letters and numbers and is gmail, and the IP you are creating the account from is a VPN address noted for spam, it is going to be rejected without apology.

I am using this short classic theme as ambiance backing in a forthcoming chapter of a little tale I am currently publishing over at 'Deadly Desires'...

One of those late sixties tracks that once heard and seen, you can never quite get it out of your head...

Nene was on AGT again, got a golden buzzer in the lives and goes straight to the finals. The song she did was Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden. I'd heard the song before of course, but I never watched the video, and while the song itself is not "Weird" the video is, I've attached it along with Nene's version which is really impressive

Somehow I doubt the English version of that would make any sense either...

Probably. A strange thing about Necronom Idol was that the English translation of their lyrics made sense, until I learned that they have an American manager. Guess their songs was written in English and then translated to Japanese. Translating some Japanese lyrics into English seems to be more or less impossible. Duane Metal for instance likes to start with a technical correct translation of one sentence of a Babymetal song and then he spends 10 minutes to explain why a Japanese understands this sentence quite different.
Ladybaby Pelo is a funny example since it seems like the subtitles are a literally translation. Thanks to Duane I know that Japanese know two different terms for “cute”. One is exclusively positive: The famous “Kawai”. The other one is negative, belittling. The negative version is more kind of an ideogram, usually described as licking sweets, like a lolly.
