Ringlords™ Official's Interests
|
| General | The Ringlords™ are a kind of fraternal/sororal order & literary society . . . Said society can trace its roots a long, looong way back...the present incarnation of the organization dates all the way back to the 1920's, which alone certainly makes it pretty Ancient & August . . . one of the things we do is periodically post the famous News Of Import™, an eclectic e-zine that covers many fields of interest to our members . . . There's plenty more about the Order over at www.Ringlords.com . . . That site is almost always in a state of either constant construction or benign neglect . . . Nonetheless, it can be very entertaining at times. . . Folks seem to find it fun & rewarding. . . And we're actually working on an Official blurb again, something we attempt every ten years or so . . . Watch for it! . . . You can also sometimes find us at several other Ringlords outposts . . . Please feel free to stop by often at your favorite . . . . . . . . here's where all the links will be eventually . . . . . . . . . .

. . . . . . . . . . Ringlords™ on Shelfari . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . | | Music | We have a broad & constantly shifting spectrum of stuff that we listen to and what fits our moods can change minute to minute. Broad categories would include Alternative, Americana, Blues, Celtic, Classical, Electronica, Folk, Improvisation, Medieval, Psytrance & Rock in all it’s forms. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
We confess we harbor a fondness for the phenom now becoming known as Lit Rock. There are several flavors to choose from and more arriving every day . . . A few that come to mind are . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Foremost on the list has to be Wizard Rock. . . Originally born out of the massive popularity of J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter saga, in the last couple of years, the music scene has exploded with literally hundreds of bands who draw their names, lyrics and inspiration from the Hogwarts universe . . . Wrockers, we love you all!
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
There's Twi Rock, derived from the Twilight series of Stephenie Meyers . . . This has a rapidly growing musical following, with bands like Bella Rocks & It Runs In Our Veins . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Then there is music derived from the Firefly / Serenity sci-fi series, The Browncoats immediately coming to mind. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
We happen to like Trock . . . short for Time Lord rock . . . a music scene that is rapidly burgeoning around the resurgence of Dr. Who, with bands like the Chameleon Circuits, the Sontaran Experiment, Bad Wolf and Turn Left . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
We enjoy music based on other popular TV series as well . . . Previously On Lost and The Oceanic Six from LOST . . . Sci-Fried & Starfleet Academy from Trek . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
And there are other lit rock stars rising in the firmament . . . the Bene Gesseritt Witch . . . The Nevermores . . . Mary Shelly Overdrive . . . to name but a few . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Many years ago, when we were first discovering the writings of H. P. Lovecraft, a band of the same name released their first recording on the Dunwich label. Their lyrics leapt straight from the pages we were reading at the time. So we are delighted that the process is being revisited today . . . Special mention must therefore be made of The Darkest Of The Hillside Thickets, whose inspiration likewise derives from H. P. Lovecraft . . . Wizard rock of a far more sinister bent perhaps, but wizard rock nonetheless . . . And wizard rock that carries the torch of the original Lovecraftian tradition . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
And there are, of course, a wide variety of bands that hail from Middle Earth . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
So when is Myspace gonna recognize Wrock as a genre??? . . . If you would like to see this happen, there's this petition floating around out there that you can sign . . . here's the link . . . last we looked, it was still working . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Fantasy like: "Legend" & " Dragonslayer". . . Supernatural Horror like: "The Haunting" & "American Werewolf In London" | | Television | We don't watch a lot of TV... it tends to cut into our reading time...but when we do, it tends to be stuff like Twilight Zone, the original Night Gallery, Outer Limits, One Step Beyond, Tales From The Darkside, (all being re-run on local stations BTW ), local TV institution Svengoolie. . . and April Elvira, when we can find her. . .!! (Ok, we admit it...& LOST too ) | | Books | It's true, we have our very own library! This is where the Ringlords™ really come in. . . our literary interests lay primarily in the fields of Mythology, Legend, Folklore, Superstition, Magic and the Supernatural. Any author touching upon these subjects will garner our attentions. . . Of course, accounts of travel into the Realms Beyond The Waking Worlds are highly favored. . . The classics in the genres of High Fantasy and the Quest are popular. . . and we’ve always enjoyed a good comic book. . . So, if books are your thing, you've come to the right Space . . . | | Heroes | Pamela Coleman Smith, aka Pixie. Pamela was the artist who painted the portraits that today grace the 78 cards of the Smith - Rider - Waite tarot deck. She died penniless, her name now all but forgotten, yet her work is the most reproduced art in the history of civilization. . . Fame is fleeting, Friends! . . . . . . . .
