No homegrown music this week, just some more blatantly ripped off semi-commercial stuff.

Big changes coming here to this network. A complete rewrite and redesign of Alterati, Piltolite, Greylodge, and PODLAFF is coming this winter. We will probably be off-line for a month or so as we roll it all up and begin to roll out the new stuff. Alterati, PodLaff and Piltolite will be merging into something new, currently code-namedHukilau.However, right now, we can say no more. We will continue to put out GSpots every 2 weeks, and will leave up an archive page of the last 4 0r 4 episodes, while we hammer and saw behind the curtain. We are aiming for a 2010 relaunch of the new project and we think you’re going to LOVE it. Until then, be well and we’ll see you in the new year.
I’ve heard great things from the folks at Foolishpeople about the Abattoir Pages and the staging and presentation of the scene/installation I wrote for it. If you’re at all capable, get on down to:The Abattoir Pages
This Hallowe’en, the infamous horror author Helen Mayer will hold court at a debauched secret party. She will share the perverse and warped research conducted inside the old abandoned abattoir, which was the genesis of her greatest work. In this dark playground, the very nature of human terror has been tested, abused and fed into the living story ‘The Forest’.The author invites you to solve the puzzle and unlock the terrifying history within the old and powerful pages hidden throughout the slaughterhouse. Each holds a key to learning the truth of an ancient tale, which will ensure your survival.
Tonight, a debt will be repaid to blood dishonoured. An eternal nightmare rises up from the depths of the dark boreal forest, in the shadow of the mountain. It comes to feed on new meat inside an old abattoir.
