New Sideshow Museum! It seems the rare artifacts from The Dime Museum in Baltimore has found a new home! This just in from James Taylor of Shocked & Amazed:
It's been long awaited and much rumored: the museum that recreates the true spirit of the old-time dime museums and sideshows, where the variety performers once held sway amongst the strange, the bizarre, the weird, the exotic and the unusual attractions. "When is it going to open?" and "Where's it going to be?" need no longer be questions spoken with bated breath. Already heralded as "a cross between a 19th century English music hall and P. T. Barnum's second American Museum"… it is here… and you're invited.
Announcing the Grand Opening in the Nation's Capital!
THE PALACE OF WONDERS
1210 H St. NE in Washington, DC (between 12th & 13th, just a few blocks west of Bladensburg Pkwy, just northeast of Capitol Hill and east of Union Station, convenient by car or train)
Grand Opening Celebrations the evening of July 7 AND 8, 2006!
Too big an event to be held only one night, the shows start promptly at 8pm (doors at 7pm) both nights; come early and roam the museum, located in the heart of the new Atlas Entertainment District!
Featuring Performances by
Trixie Little & the Evil Hate Monkey - Winners of the 2006 Exotic World Competition in Las Vegas!
Todd Robbins - One Man Human Sideshow, the Man Behind Broadway's Hit CARNIVAL KNOWLEDGE!

Parapolitics outta Hull The political/"para-political" magazine LOBSTER has its 51st issue out.
It's not announced on their web page yet, but amongst the contents are:
-- Di's death revisited, by Terry Hanstock.
-- Robert Kennedy and the Middle East connection, by Paul Todd.
-- Was the Director of Central Intelligence a Soviet agent?, by Michael Holzman
-- The lessons of Lockerbie, by Robin Ramsay.
-- Book reviews
and much more. 52 pages. 3 pounds + postage.
Sample article from Lobster #29: "Conspiracy Theories" and Clandestine Politics.
Editor Robin Ramsay's book "Conspiracy Theories" has been republished as a hardcover with an added index and some updates. Go to pocketessentials.com From the blurb: "Conspiracy Theories? They are all in here - but not just lined up to be ridiculed and dismissed. OK, there is some of that, but the author also tries to sort out the handful of wheat from the choking clouds of intellectual chaff. For among the nonsensical Conspiracy Theory rubbish currently proliferating on the Internet, there are important nuggets of real research about real conspiracies waiting to be mined."

06-06-006It's been a thousand years since that date came up, and a hundred since 06-06-06. The Church of Satan doesn't hold today as anything significant, but they have a 40th anniversary party to spook x-tian people.
 The new version of "The Omen" premieres worldwide today. Mia Farrow is the creepy nanny this time around. We all remember her from another satanically themed classic, "Rosemary's Baby". The film was originally planned for 2005, with completely different actors, as you can see on this premature poster.
Slayer was supposed to have a new album out today, but didn't finish it in time. (But they have the EP "Eternal Pyre" ready, and at 06.06 AM California time today they put a new single, "Cult", out as a downloadable file at iTunes Music Store. )
Speaking of finnish, is this the "Arockalypse"?
Check out balsamia.com for links to great folk-viking metal, including the mighty Glittertind and Feskthrone. Don't miss out on Anton Balsam's own new classic "Sumarnatta".
LA Times: Should We Be Worried About 6-6-06?
Now I'm off to listen to Venom's "At War With Satan", a 20 minute noise-fest found on the album of the same title, and on "Witching Hour -- Best of Venom".
More infernal music at Blackmetal.com. Speculations are rife as to whether 06-06-06 will bring on any "satanic" activity, similiar to and possibly inspired by what went on in Norway in the 90's, as described in the book "Lords of Chaos", soon to be a motion picture directed by Hans Fjellestad of "Moog" fame.

Demonisk Kjettersk Kjeller KveldKKK går fra anemisk (Dracula) til demonisk på sitt neste arrangement. Dessverre ikke på 060606, det nærmeste man kom var 13/6. Info fra kjetter.com:
 13.06.2006: Asbjørn Dyrendal snakker om Satans makt: Djevler, demoner og de som dyrker dem
Gjeste-DJ: Carl Abrahamsson (Church of Satan)
Djevler og demoner har fulgt menneskeheten til uminnelige tider, men er stort sett blitt brukt til å skremme folk fra å synde og få barn til å spise opp grøten sin.
Men hva med dem som dyrker disse onde skapningene?
Asbjørn Dyrendal er førsteamanuensis i religionsvitenskap ved NTNU i Trondheim. Han er en av de få skandinavene som virkelig vet noe om både satanisme og hva folk innbiller seg at satanister kan finne på.
Han er også forfatter av boken "Demoner: Besettende djevler og andre ondskapsfulle vesen", som nettopp har kommet ut på Humanist forlag. Denne Kjeller-kvelden er å regne som slippefest for ”Demoner”, og forlaget har lovet å sørge for at det går an å skaffe seg boken til en litt hyggeligere pris.
I kveldens foredrag skal Dyrendal ta et dypdykk i den sataniske understrømmen i Vestens historie.
Gnostikerne, som mente at Gud er ond, var de satanister? Hva med pornografen og fritenkeren Leo Taxil, som omvendte seg og overbeviste den katolske kirken om at frimureriet var et skalkeskjul for djeveldyrkere? Hva var den såkalte Hellfire Club? Hva er the Church of Satan – en bløff for å tjene penger eller et seriøst trossamfunn? Hvor mange spebarn ofres til Beelzebub hvert år, og hva skjer med likene?
Alle disse spørsmålene, og flere til, regner vi med å få svar på denne kvelden.
Som faste Kjeller-vankere vet, pleier vi alltid å invitere inn gjeste-DJs for å bringe nye impulser inn i våre vanlige mørke toneganger. Men denne gangen slet vi litt. Etter lange omganger ved Ouija-brettet fikk vi kjellermennesker dessverre vite at Gamle-Erik sjøl allerede hadde lovet seg bort denne tirsdagen.
Derfor har vi måttet satse på det nest beste alternativet, nemlig å få en av hans mest trofaste tjenere til å komme og spille noen plater for oss.
Carl Abrahamsson er musiker i band som White Stains og Cotton Ferox (som blant annet har samarbeidet med Psychic TV), fotograf, forlegger, DJ og skribent. Han er også magister i New York-baserte Church of Satan. For deg som ikke er helt bevandret i gradssystemet til verdens største og eldste satanistiske organisasjon, så er magister et hakk opp fra prest.
Abrahamsson lover å spille ekte satanisk musikk – og vi regner med at det er en del som vil få hakaslepp hvis de tror at dette har noe særlig med liksminke og sånt å gjøre...
Som vanlig inviterer vi til en hyggelig kveld med mat, musikk, prat og drikke på Posto, rett bak Gabler (ved Tinghuset i Oslo Sentrum). Som vanlig er aldersgrensen 18 år, og det koster 50 kroner å komme inn. Litt utenom det vanlige er det derimot at denne Kjellerkvelden er på en tirsdag.
Velkommen!
