Climbatica │ Климбатика

 

Climbatica (Климбатика) is an incredible Gothic rock group from Orenburg, Russia, a city located about 1,478 km southeast of Moscow, and very close to the border with Kazakhstan.  The group was started by Alex Belov and Wang Chaos in 2006, and since then they have been a cultural mainstay of the Russian Gothic music scene.  The music of Climbatica moves me greatly.  Even though the musicians and singers of Climbatica are quite young, their music has an unusual maturity and intensity.  It invokes all kinds of feelings on the part of the listener if you pay close attention to it.  In this edition of Klaatu Barada Nikto I am featuring Climbatica singing "Я не боюсь (I Am Not Afraid)".  Safe journeys to all the fans of Klaatu Barada Nikto, wherever you may be.

Found │ Gavin Brown

Scott Schirmer's horror masterpiece "Found", starring Gavin Brown, is the movie to watch in 2018, though it is very hard to find.  Gavin Brown is sensational as "Marty".  He is so good that even though this is a horror flick, he makes it feel like a coming-of-age movie.  I watched it on my iPod, intending to watch only a few minutes of it, but instead, I was mesmerized, and watched the whole thing in one sitting.  It is one hour and forty-two minutes of extreme cinema. I don't know why, but "Found" was never released theatrically.  Instead, it has be shown in various film festivals throughout the United States, and has won numerous awards.  Since it originally came out in 2012, it is unlikely to ever be coming to your neighborhood theater any time soon. You can download, or listen for FREE, the complete soundtrack from the movie "Found", by clicking on the widget below. This music, and movie, is simply out of this world.   It is a must have for all of you who love Gothic horror, and coming-of-age movies.  Safe journeys to all the fans of Klaatu, Barada, Nikto, wherever you may be.
