the first girl i ever danced with is dead she had golden locks that bloomed from her head one night in Missouri no hurry, nor worry but like all things do, it came to an end
~
the first girl i ever danced with is gone as are the feet she danced upon i should have asked for one more before we left the dancefloor one more dance to one more song
~
the first girl i ever danced with is alive safe in my thoughts, where she can survive where Death comes around never and the two of us dance forever like a ballroom where dreams waltz and thrive
"A bludgeoning celluloid rush of language and ideas served from an
action-painter's bucket of fluorescent spatter, D. Harlan Wilson's Peckinpah is an incendiary gem and
very probably the most extraordinary new novel you will read this year." ALAN
MOORE, author of Watchmen, V for Vendetta and From

NEW BOOK OUT NOW: CHTHONIC - Prose & Theory by Vadge Moore
"Vadge Moore is an American author and musician that has spent a lifetime testing the boundaries of good and evil. He toured and recorded with the infamous sleaze-punk institution The Dwarves, apocalyptic rock group Neither-Neither World, and his own nihilist-noise unit Chthonic Force. He has written for the early nineties occult journal Primal Chaos, the esoteric magazine Dagobert's Revenge, and the controversial web 'zine Synthesis. Recently Vadge has taken up an aphoristic-prose style of writing that best expresses his iniquitous and sinister insights into the mind of Man. Chthonic: Prose & Theory is just that; prose wedded to theory that scrutinizes the human, all too human, Monster that is Man."
"Chthonic: Prose & Theory" is a collection of perverse and violent prose wedded to his own brand of occult esoterica. Peer into the mind of one of America's greatest living libertines.
I'm happy to announce that my new album "Songs From The Films Of David Lynch" is out now.
"Truly unsettling and perplexingly brilliant... testament to both the quality of Lynch’s soundtracks and Truax’s talents" - The Skinny
"Truax is paying homage to a kindred spirit with this album. It's the best kind of tribute – affectionate and respectful, but with its own quirks and imaginative leaps and its own distinct identity." -The Scotsman
