New Status Update!

Sounds sad, but that rings a bell, the quote also comes from one of the many random phrases that apparently make no sense in the short film "Doppleherz". Apparently now they are supposed to mean something.

Go ahead and watch!

New Status Update!

Album-related activity? Let´s put our heads together and say "Hell yeah!"

New Status Update!

Sounds deep, very deep. Happy weekend to us all!

New Status Update!

This reminds me of a rather unusual situation into which I ran some days ago. As I walked down a street an very skinny old woman passed by carrying a poodle in her arm and as soon as I made eye contact she shouted, "the mouth of the wolf." She must have been a schizophrenic, I´m not sure. Supernatural things happen everyday, that´s what makes life extra special.

And by the way you may have heard some stories about Manson´s personal life right now, but this is absolutely not the place to bring that up; the so-called news are elsewhere. In the meantime we´re almost done devouring EAT ME, DRINK ME, we´re at the last track, how does this story end?

    "This is where it starts.

    This is where it will end.

    Here comes the moon again."

  

New Status Update!

Well, we´re still hunting but I don´t know what his idea might be...

New Status Updates!

Hmmm, sounds suspicious, better go consult my Tarot Cards...

New Status Updates!

Now for these updates we may need to add a personal comment: when you start engaging in internet activities too much, you slowly start to lose contact with reality. But in the case of this dark prince social networking is equal to artistic death.

Judging by yesterday´s mood, things are becoming a tad boring for Manson. How ´bout something amusing then? Funny videos!

This is one of many of Manson´s appearances from 2007 on the Graham Norton Show. (check out Rihanna!)  Horribly funny, enjoy!

New Status Update!

oooohh....those words sound dangerous...better run, kinky thoughts come to mind.

More Paintings I Found Lurking...

At the same time that Manson is planning to include new band members.

What we don´t get is that these recent paintings are making an alusion to possible members: Naveen Andrews, Fred Sablan...is this artwork probably going to be featured in the booklet? That´d be an awesome idea, pretty much like it was done in Lest We Forget with several watercolors, like Experience Is The Mistress Of Fools.

New Status Update!

5 pm, that´s the hour someone usually gets off from work.

In a rather sarcastic mood, Manson uploaded these two paintings of Naveen in his "black period." I guess that puts an end to the Blue Period...

John Mayer Uploads Pic Of Manson And Evan On His Tumblr...

Remember this pic from a few months ago that surfaced on Manson´s My Space? Couldn´t believe that these people were in the same room:

John Mayer and Marilyn Manson, 2010.

Well now, it turns out that the singer, author, pop artist posted this sexy pic of MM and "True Blood" star Evan Rachel Wood in Los Angeles to his Tumblr:

Check the original link for other John Mayer information, not much of a fan of his music:

New Status Update!

Mo´money, mo´problems, or something like that...

As you may have probably noticed Manson´s making more paintings, hopefully will be hung at another gallery soon.

The Antichrist Superstar Official Video: The Controversy Continues.

Earlier we joked about 6/19, or June 19th. What happened? Did the World end, the Apocalypse rising?

Nope, just a video, a rare Marilyn Manson production of the song "Antichrist Superstar" directed E. Elias Merhige and produced by Henry S. Rosenthal, circa 08/17/1996.

But who are these people anyway?

Merhige is best known to mainstream audiences for the 2000 film Shadow of the Vampire, and to underground audiences for the cult-classic 1991 film Begotten.

He´s also credited for directing "Cryptorchid", which cinematography is similar to that of "Antichrist Superstar".

"Cryptorchid" was included as a bonus material to the DVD release of Lest We Forget back in 2004.

Henry S. Rosenthal has produced a great deal of horror films as well.

The few commercial videos that were made for the album "Antichrist Superstar" were:

- The Beautiful People, directed by Floria Sigismondi.

- Tourniquet, also directed by Floria Sigismondi

- Man That You Fear, directed by Wiz.

All of these were highly ambitious productions, which later on was nominated for important awards, in the case of The Beautiful People.

The question is: why did Cryptorchid and Antichrist Superstar get shelved? Are these videos connected in some way other than their aesthetic?

Some "authorities" advised us not to discuss too much about this leaked forgotten production, but we´ll go ahead and build the excitement.

ACSS was entirely filmed in black and white. It is also reminiscent of "Cryptorchid" and contains footage from Merhige´s film "Begotten":

An excerpt from an interview made for Mansonusa.com "Dramatic New Scenes For Celebritarian Needs", November 3rd 2005:

Q: The Internet Movie Database lists "Anti-Christ Superstar" as part of your filmography. A few names are associated with this film other than your own. E. Elias Merhige is cited as the director; Roger Michael Mayer as the Torchbearer; and Texas Terri as the Angel of Death. What was the concept or story behind this video and did anything ever transpire from the project? Why was it never released?

MM: Elias was someone I had contacted. I talked to him the day after I saw his film Begotten, which is one of the strangest and scariest films I’ve seen and I wanted him to do a video for cryptorchid and I came to Los Angeles and I did that.

He also wanted to film a video for Antichrist Superstar; but he wanted to use a lot of footage that he had already compiled, so he shot the material with me. Then he put it together with some other stuff.

He used a lot of military footage from different countries, different wars, that really went for the fascist aspect of the song and I wasn’t quite sure that it represented the criticism that it needed to, but it wasn’t ultimately my opinion that mattered because the record company was appalled by it. That’s not to say it won’t be seen, but I’m not sure if he ever had a fair chance of finishing it because of the record company. I was very pleased with cryptorchid because it’s a beautiful song and I wanted to see his imagery involved in it.

And there you have it, this material apparently was rejected by Manson´s label at the time, Interscope Records and now that the band claims to have more artistic freedom it makes sense to drop these ´bombs´.

THE CONTROVERSY

Forget about what´s in the "Antichrist Superstar" video, it´s the fact whether you should legally watch it or not.

Rumor: "Accidentally" it was posted on marilynmanson.com around June 19th 2010 and some hours later it was mysteriously removed. By that time, it was already popping up on several websites, even on You Tube.

Accidents Can Happen, Only To Marilyn Manson?

During the promotion of Year Zero, one of the latest Nine Inch Nails albums used clever strategies to make some buzz:

An entire campaign based on the ARG concept was built around the album's story and fans were bombarded in multiple ways; the world of online was used in a massive way, when the band began to 'leak' songs via USB cards left in bathrooms at their shows in Europe. Clues were printed on t-shirts, messages began to pop up online and a frenzy was created before the album was even released. (Source:  http://www.squidoo.com/trentreznor )

And what about the latest craze built around the new iPhone G4 "lost" prototype conducted by the Gizmodo Team? Another accident? Nope, an intentional premature ´leak´, which could probably affect Apple´s sales greatly.

So you decide, was the "Antichrist Superstar" video ´leak´ planned by MM himself? If that´s the case then you´re free to go, but if it´s not, then we will gladly remove all the links the video...

New Status Update: Space of AIDS...

Well, apparently some people think it´s a pun for "Ace of Spades" or "Ace of Swords"; a Tarot Card, by the way, of the Minor Arcana.

In general it would stand for Justice, success, conquest, leadership, triumph. But since the letters are inverted, then the meaning would be inverted as well, as in abuse of power, vengeance, punishment, hatred, affliction, anger, multiple obstacles...

Anyway, who cares? Boredom makes you do stupid things. By the way there is a song from MM named "Spade", from the album "The Golden Age Of Grotesque".

Happy 38 Twiggy!

Yup, it´s Jeordie´s Day all day long. So I thought of pulling out other material from his non-Manson eras.

 Here is song back when he was in A Perfect Circle, on the album "Thirteenth Step". It´s called "Crimes".

There´s this other song from the movie "Rockstar", written by Twiggy Ramirez. The track name: "(Gimme) Blood Pollution"

And this another video back when he briefly participated in Nine Inch Nails, "The Hand That Feeds".

PARTY ON!!!!

Evan Rachel Wood On The Set Of "Mildred Pierce"

So yes, we decided to post these brand new shots of Evan characterized as Veda Pierce, from the HBO series "Mildred Pierce".

The five-hour miniseries is an adaptation of James M. Cain’s Depression-era novel Mildred Pierce.

Looking forward to it, since Kate Winslet has the lead role...

Manson Remebers Memorial Day...

Yes, besides the long weekend today is Memorial Day after all, and MM decided to share this lovely picture with us of his own dad Hugh Warner, who was actually in the Vietnam War.

He also added this quote to the Facebook:

"Hugh A. Warner. He made me from his seed. Natural born killers. Memorialize that."

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!

New Status Update: Sick City

Yeah, saw this status update in the morning , but we can post it anyway. It made me think of the song originally written by the Charles Manson in 1970 and was later recorded by Marilyn Manson in an acoustic version. The cover was not released on any album but was made around the time of "Holywood (in the shadow of the Valley of Death)."

SICK CITY
(by Charles Manson)

Sick city, yeah, restless people
Sick city burn their houses down
To make the sky look pretty
What can I do?
I'm just a person
This is a lie we always seem to hear
You just sit and things get worse
Watch tv and drink your beer
Walking all alone
Not going anywhere
Walking all alone
Nobody seems to care
Restless as wind
This town is killing me
Gotta put an end to this
Restless misery
And I'm just one of those restless people
That can never be satisfied with living
In this sick ol' sick ol' sick sick sick city
Might be too late for me to say goodbye
Might be too late to watch this sick ol' city die
Go on the road,
Yeah im gonna try to say
Sick city so long farewell
Goodbye and die.

PAPARAZZI-NAZIS...ETC.

OK, normally I wouldn´t call this a news or gossip blog but I recently stumbled upon this website which shows Evan and Manson on the set of the upcoming HBO movie "Mildred Pierce".

According to news source celebrity-gossip.net:

Hard at work on her latest project, Evan Rachel Wood was all dolled up on the set of "Mildred Pierce" in New York City on Friday afternoon (May 28).

Donning quite the adorable pink and black ensemble, the "True Blood" babe got a visit from fiance rocker Marilyn Manson on-set in between the day's shoot.

Also on set was the production's big star, Kate Winslet, who swapped in and out of various wardrobes during the week-ending work duties.

The upcoming HBO movie is about "divorced single mom Mildred Pierce, who decides to open a restaurant business which tears at the already-strained relationship with her her ambitious elder daughter, Veda."
