John Carpenter live

For John Carpenter, music is a fundamental and instinctive form of expression. As an innovative composer, he wrote and recorded the majority of his soundtracks himself - thereby cementing his reputation as an independent filmmaker. His sound universe is based on minimal synthesizer sounds, piano accompaniments and drum computers - an ideal addition to the emotional mood of his works and an essential interface between music and film. In 2014 Carpenter presented together with the two composers Cody Carpenter (his son) and Daniel Davis (his nephew) a first pure music album called Lost Themes. The success of the project prompted Carpenter to perform it live and schedule a tour for 2016.

"Dravens Tales from the Crypt" has been enchanting for over 15 years with a tasteless mixture of humor, serious journalism - for current events and unbalanced press reporting politics - and zombies, garnished with lots of art, entertainment and punk rock. Draven has turned his hobby into a popular brand that cannot be classified.

My blog was never designed to spread news, let alone get political, but with current affairs I just can't help but capture information here that is otherwise censored on all other channels. I'm aware that the design page may not seem "serious" to many in this regard, but I won't change it to please the "mainstream". Anyone who is open to non-state-compliant information sees the content and not the packaging. I've tried enough to provide people with information over the last 2 years, but quickly noticed that it never matters how it is "packaged", but what the other person's attitude towards it is. I don't want to put honey on anyone's mouth to meet expectations in any way, so I'll keep this design because hopefully at some point I'll be able to stop making these political statements, because it's not my goal to go on like this forever ;) I leave it up to everyone how they deal with it. However, you are welcome to simply copy and distribute the content, my blog has always been under the WTFPL license.

It's hard for me to describe what I'm actually doing here, DravensTales has become a culture blog, music blog, shock blog, tech blog, horror blog, fun blog, a blog about found items on the internet, internet bizarre, trash blog, art blog, water heater, zeitgeist blog over the years , Scrap blog and grab bag blog called.
