Rock Dj!

Let us just make one thing absolutely clear. I despise Robbie Williams, and I loath that song. Are we absolutely clear on point one?

Moving on... this is a picture I drew of the Skulltop FM discjockeys before I'd really met any of them... one of my friends saw me drawing and asked me to do a cartoon to give to his big sister, who is one of them. If you haven't heard of Skulltop FM (Not surprising, really... they're a small, and completely illegal, radio station who actually play decent music (Everything from Bauhaus to Skinny Puppy, Midnight Syndicate to Astrid Haven, Depeche Mode to HIM, Guns and Roses to The Darkness. I wuv Skulltop FM, despite the fact they don't broadcast far enough to get to my area). And do request shows every day where if you request it, they actually will play it within thirty minutes, if at all possible. And don't bother to cut out the swearwords before watershed, either) then you won't know that all the DJs, to protect their identities, have fake ones. It's got a kind of Urban Arcana feel to it.

So... from right to left, top to bottom, we have the origional Mr. Creepy, Lord Arthur Raven IV, supposedly an Archlich, who runs a very good show round about dinner time that consists mostly of the orchestral sort of stuff, like Midnight Syndicate and Rasputina, but also quite a lot of Spooky Pop (HIM springs to mind). Basically, if it is fairly easy on the ears, it gets in.

Just below him is our dear friend Bezekira (She is supposed to be a devil, yes) whom I've actually met (She's the big sister of one of my best friends) and actually looks good enough to be a devil woman... apparantly her show (Which is generally loud, abrasive and offensive... lots of Astrid Haven recently, as well as the old classics like Throbbing Gristle and Skinny Puppy) is the most listened to, judging by the number of texts she gets, which is probably because she was in the picture for their second advertising campaign. Masterful photoshop, that, with putting the wings in and all, and the Skulltop FM logo painted across her back, but I think the fact that she wasn't wearing a shirt might have had a little more to do with the sudden interest... (Not that you can see anything, but obviously it's enough for these love-starved goffics to see a woman's back and know that she's not wearing very much...)

Ahem. To her left you can see White Tiger, who's program is so much fun it's insane... most of it's sort of punky... specialities are Japanese or other 'oriental' music... if you've never heard Japanese Pop Punk, you don't know what you're missing. Ex-girl is a favourite, as are Adenosine Tri-Phosphate and Psydoll. White Tiger I've met, and know quite well, and I found out she actually looks a lot more like GoGo Yubari than a mad Japanese rock star. And despite the act she puts on, being all sweet and psychotic, remember... I know her personally. She wears schoolgirl outfits and pink Cyberdog trousers and plays the sax and the cello. So hah!

Little impy guy there is Squeak, who does most of the synthpop/dark wave stuff... I made him play TBM's 'Promise Me' four times within an hour and a half, before he insisted, on air, that I stop texting him. He's fun. Haven't met him yet, but I know of him in real life, and I think one of my friends might be going out with him... or trying to, if they're not actually together...

Obligatory vampire guy is Bela (Real imaginative) and this is where the classic goffik stuff comes in... Bauhaus, Horrorpops, Depeche Mode (The darker stuff, of course), Switchblade Symphony, Faith & The Muse, that sort of thing. I don't really know him, occasionally listen to his show, often annoy him by requesting the Bauhaus cover of Ziggy Stardust because he despises it.

And finally, dead-on-the-job-and-decomposing there is Jack, after American Werewolf In London, and he takes on anything that's rocky and 'alternative'... basically you've got your Glam classics (And The Darkness), anything punk/emo borderline, anything fairly commercial, mixed in with a few other things that couldn't be left out... we get everything from Nirvana to Motley Crue. He's fairly amusing, but is apparantly Uber-annoying.

That's about it.
