I am using Myspace for music business networking at the moment so I know quite a few of my friends in real life. My website is http://www.nightnews.net (See under Companies, bottom left.)
I run Nightnews and Nightnews.media and am specialized in dark events for which I carry out pre-event publicity and public relations. (This includes goth events, goth gigs, dark theatrical productions and film releases; Nightnews was accredited as internet media at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2005, 2006 and 2007 with a remit to attract local audiences.)
Nightnews has approx 650 media listings contacts and another 6600 subscribers to our dark client newsletter on 8 yahoo lists owned by nightnews. (Join nightnews at yahoo groups to be invited to any of the 6 others, one is for media only, details below.)
I also develop the Nightnews website as well as promoting my own themed or goth clubs; these have included goth and metal gigs. My clubs have included 'Transmission, Gotham' and 'Neo-Gotham' also the goth kids version of LATWT with old friend Matt Balls, soon succeeded by Interzone.
In the case of friend requests from anyone who has not met me in real life, and even if you have, please message me as well as trying to add me and if you are a total stranger to me and want to get acquainted, you will also have to answer these questions before I approve you. There will be no exceptions.
Why do you want to be friends at myspace?
What is it about house_of_games that interests you?
How did you find the house_of_games profile?
Do you promise that you are NOT a minor?
This is just to make sure that you are genuine, for safe surfing, (some myspace profiles have been adapted to deliver malware, spyware and trojans) sanity and stuff and find out what you want, if anything, BEFORE I approve your request ;-)
If you just like to look at my profile, see my music picks, or want to be connected with me in some other way, please write, use the public favorites feature and if I like you I will make it mutual, its private, discreet and does not clutter my friends list.
Friend Requests from ALL Bands will NOT be accepted, Nightnews editorial policy is built around dark acts and events and does NOT include all genres on the Nightnews website or web assets. So if you are a band and want to make contact with me please send me a message and introduce yourselves.
If you are any Scottish act/band, or your act/band is playing in Scotland you are welcome to send journalist quality listing details, giving 1-6 weeks notice of your dates to, Nightnews_Omega@yahoogroups.com and we will include you in our consolidated nightnews-media rss feed listings to our approx 650 music media contacts free. We can also refer you to most genre promoters (goth, punk, indie, metal etc..) and venues that may want you.
In fact, the Nightnews most frequently asked question on Myspace is, Can you help get us a gig in Edinburgh, in Scotland, in the UK or Europe? So here is a handy download file to help bands and acts with this question.
Bands that want to play in the UK, Scotland, Edinburgh and other cities in Scotland should copy and paste the link beneath the Nightnews goth bat.
http://www.nightnews.net/gig/gigs.txt
The Nightnews goth bat updates this file regularly so keep checking back periodically.
I suggest that Musicians and Acts not in our dark remit, that want to stay in touch, crosslink with Nightnews at Myspace through the public favorites feature in the first instance, our friendspace is reserved for real-life dark friends, hand picked dark acts, dark artists and individuals consistent with our editorial policy.
If you are interested in our Dark Events and other Notices, keep an eye on our Bulletins and subscribe to our Events Blog, see House of Games Event Blog. Subscribers judged as 'inappropriate,' will be blocked instantly, some posts will be set to 'friends only.'
As the Dark Lord of Nightnews I firmly believe that 'good stuff' leads to 'good stuff' and that all of the wonderful people that I have met through the 'dark music' business are a constant reminder of the moral behind my favourite quotation, 'What is life without adventure!?'Click here, to see quite what I mean... read what you like into it...
If I am doing an ad hoc graphics, imaging, coding, design or publicity job for you or you are one of my stalkers or otherwise think I am hot go here :: Pay Tribute to the Dark Lord or go here!
regards and thanks to you all

Who I'd like to meet: It could be you!..................
....but unless you look good in PVC, fishnets, white powder and make-up, or you are a dark musician or artist, or you are a representative of the media or otherwise have good, dark and alternative credentials, or I know you in REAL LIFE....
...its pretty unlikely! hehe!
..but like it says, 'MUSIC INFORMATION JUST WANTS TO BE FREE' so, "Be Seeing You..." or some of you anyways, mwahaha!...
The Guardians ..England alone after the break up of the UK, a Police State run by a new force, 'the Guardians', huge databases on everyone, a population kept in line by fear of terrorists, riots over unemployment and the economy, Stalinist state powers and regulation of all aspects of life, the whole justified by the, "...if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear," leadership that rapidly spins out of control... 2009 as seen in 1971? ..A LWT TV Drama by Rex Firkin and Vincent Tilsley. Do you want to know more?...
