OPEN GRAVES66 - The Room Is Tired and Also on Fire: Election and Halloween ComedownIn the early weeks after the election and Halloween, Heather and Vesta try to process these two disparate events. On brand as ever, we open with the darkness of the dystopia in the first half, and then claw toward recovery by downloading about Halloween in the second. How does the political climate affect an often escapist subculture? How does 2024 feel different from 2016? Do you put a political moratorium on family holidays? We close with a rundown of New Orleans on Halloween, and a cliffhanger about Mother Russia (rain down…or don’t).2024-12-1254 min

This includes a graphic encounter with Rozz Williams, empathy as a sleeper cell word, and The Other Gargoyle, aka the fraught origin of Rocky and Vesta’s now-cherished friendship. We also get further into Rocky’s meticulous passion as a DJ, his origin in radio, the significance of Twitch during the pandemic which essentially globalized the goth community, and a prophecy for future generations which may or may not include Olivia Rodrigo.

We discuss why people whose brains experience the world differently are drawn to subculture, and more specifically to this one. This can be a desire for routine and repetition, synesthesia, how the baggage of the “gifted child” plays a hand, and what happens to the psyche when your best self feels inaccessible.

We also discuss the dilemma of explaining goth to inquiring minds who don’t even know who David Bowie is, more notes on the ways in which we talk about trauma, and the myth of the chill girl.

They discuss being raised in a Romanian interfaith household and rejecting both religions in favor of “skeptical agnostic jewish inspired mysticism,” struggling with cultural appropriation, and the goth renaissance that is taking place in Los Angeles post-pandemic. We touch on the commodification of goth femme people, how LGBTQ+ folks are taking up the mantle in newer goth spaces, and how “woke” comedy is actually funnier. Oh, and Vesta is a terrible tarot client...2023-09-201h 15OPEN GRAVES51 - But I Feel Like a Cryptid Every Day: A Post-Marc Discussion of OthernessIt starts with a chat about a goth pool party and ocean report, but ends with a full therapy session and a cliffhanger. This is a followup to our two-part recording with Marc Heuck, because he gave us a lot to dwell on. As goths, what is the consensus about the intersection between horror, sci-fi, and our music-based subculture? We agree that horror was once a very sexist genre, but how is that changing now, how does it affect us, and the androgynous male horror fans in our community? We discuss our relationship to processing trauma when you experience...2023-08-3054 minOPEN GRAVES49 -The Passive Normalization of Goth and Monster Culture with Marc Heuck Pt.1Marc Heuck, Vesta’s first employer, friend of 20 years, and self-proclaimed goth-adjacent film nerd, might be our first guest to show up with pages of notes, and is definitely our first guest to lead to a two parter. This dissertation-level discussion is about the media that set the stage in the mainstream for goth to thrive later on. By this he means television, radio, and comics; the types of media that come directly into your home. We begin in 1930 with “The Shadow,” through the Charles Addams in the New Yorker, to Night of the Living Dead becoming public domain. We disc...2023-08-171h 02OPEN GRAVES47 - You Don’t Have to Be Rich to Be a Weirdo, but… An Addams Exploration Pt. 2After a preamble about lingering Covid, summergoth pool parties, vasectomies, and laser hair removal, we revisit the ever-surfacing topic of The Addams Family in their many incarnations, this time prompted not by Netflix’s Wednesday, but by a recently discovered Pluto channel that plays only the 1960s television show. This time Vesta is fixated on deconstructing the capitalist themes in every iteration of the family, the way that their outsider status relies on wealth, how their wholesomeness allows for wealth without abuse of power, and worldliness and openness as part of their alienation from the white middle class. We al...2023-07-2141 minOPEN GRAVES45 - Convenience vs Artistry with Robin ThomasWe open with Robin graciously and unexpectedly offering us sacrificial vinyl: The Glove’s Blue Sunshine for Heather and Bowie’s Loving the Alien for Vesta. DJ Robin Thomas discusses his history with KROQ and DJing nightclubs all over southern California, the inclusivity of the goth community as someone who may not identify as goth, coming from a musical family but still feeling like an outsider, and how music can expand the mind beyond linear thinking. Robin’s day and nightlife are very separate, with days in academia and healthcare, and nights playing b-sides alongside Swedish Egil, next upcoming gig at Can...2023-06-2347 minOPEN GRAVES42 - Goodbye, Cruel World: A Summary and Recovery from GothchellaIt’s live music season, and this is an intimate recovery zoom after the chaos of the Cruel World festival weekend. Heather was fully prepared and committed with a wine bra and a She-Wee, while Vesta…is not a festival person. We discuss the overwhelming(ly positive) experience of the triple-stage goth-leaning music festival at the Pasadena Rose Bowl, including but not limited to Iggy Pop summoning lightning and the festival’s evacuation, to he and Siouxsie performing a redux on Sunday. 2023-05-2544 minOPEN GRAVES41 - For Strength, Eat a Spider with BattyKat WeedAfter reuniting by sharing a tattoo artist, we have one of Vesta’s first goth friends and a day-one listener, BattyKat Weed. She tells us about being into Edward Gorey and Stephen King as a child, growing up with some unspoken parental mysteries, finding her way to goth through an interest in paganism and Renaissance Faire, putting her self-expression on hiatus to pursue acting, and how this may have tricked her not-goth husband at the beginning of their 20+ year marriage. Harkening back to our chronotype episode which resonated strongly with Kat, she discusses the toll that fitting into the da...2023-04-211h 27OPEN GRAVES38 - Post-Mortem: Obelisk & ChamberAfter a truly crazy week, we have a pun-intended post-mortem download about the opening of Obelisk for Vesta’s birthday and Heather’s DJ debuts both there and at Chamber. Guess what, it is overwhelmingly and sincerely positive! We both experience an outpouring of support over competition in both settings, and the potential for this to be more prevalent in our community over the stereotype of drama. Thanks also to Tenebrae, Jak Syn, Steve Gheist, and Ray Baron for all your skill and support. Also featuring a surprise phone call guest appearance from Ray!

Obelisk will be every 2nd Thursday, no cover. We also want to cross-promote within the community, and plug Nihil at The North End on Saturday, March 4th, which also might include a little birthday celebration. Additionally, Heather will be guest DJing at Chamber on Sunday, March 12th. If you're in Los Angeles, party with us in person!2023-03-0215 minOPEN GRAVES35 - Flyers Before Friends with Natasha BoyerWe are joined on the “rough couch” by Heather’s dancefloor girlfriend, Natasha Boyer. She shares her experience of growing up as an anxious kid in a strict Catholic home, finding goth by way of 80s clubs, and how the importance of getting out of her comfort zone led to becoming a gogo dancer. She speaks about parental growth and mending that relationship as a tattooed adult and non-believer, growing up keeping bugs as pets to becoming a vet-tech and full time cat lady, and how dancing in our subculture is a little bit like being a cat. Old club r...2023-02-091h 21OPEN GRAVES32 - Night Creatures in a Daywalker’s World: Circadian Anti-Rhythms and Late-Phase Chronotypes in the Goth CommunityAs more studies come out about chronotypes and the variables in circadian rhythm, we have a deep desire to express our unprofessional medical opinions about how late-phase chronotypes might be disproportionately more common in the goth scene, how hard it can be to fit into a world designed for early birds, and how this has affected our relationships with school, work, and self-worth. There are value judgements around night people being lazy and frivolous vs. early risers as ambitious and goal oriented, and Vesta is bitter about it. Also, possibly our most controversial statement: breakfast foods are overrated.2023-01-1858 minOPEN GRAVES31 - A Salute to Swishy Bitches with Michael TenebraeAfter overcoming some technical difficulties, we are honored to have a very special guest, designer of our show logo, Vesta’s longest term ex-partner and the father of the infamous Umbra, Michael Tenebrae. While drinking Boneyard Old Fashioneds, we discuss how Vampire the Masquerade turned this San Diego native goth, how being into metal might seem in conflict with the elaborate androgyny of goth, and explaining goth androgyny to a group of young marines (!!). We also touch on Satanism and the left hand path, being kicked out of Catholic school as a kid, as well as feeling abused at home an...2023-01-111h 42

Heather and Vesta become more likely to agree with each other and the article’s author in the second half…until we get to number one. Also featuring a She Wants Revenge impression no one asked for.2022-12-0141 minOPEN GRAVES26 - Pumpkin Spice Shame MinisodeWe’re here with our first minisode, in honor of Halloween! Vesta and Heather chat about how the goth community embraces the Halloween season, the time when the rest of society meets us where we already live. We air some grumpy vibes about haunts, conventions, costumes, and amateur nights, but also dig up a lifetime of reverence for the childhood experiences that led us to where we are today. Happy spooky season, wherever the fuck that phrase suddenly came from.2022-10-3031 minOPEN GRAVES25 - Charlotte’s Goth Sometimes with Charlotte AndersonCharlotte Anderson is Vesta’s fairygothchild, and also affectionately known as Charlotte’s Goth Sometimes, Normcore Charlotte, and an “inside goth.” Our bubbly Canadian discusses neurodivergence and being bullied in school, a traumatic death in the family that led her away from the Anglican church and into the so-called darkness, and how she focuses on building community through her daywalker job at Lionsgate, which leads to both an argument about Twilight, and also a reverence for communities of all kinds. Charlotte’s goth streak may be hidden under blue jeans and a love for Beyonce, but it is most certainly...2022-10-202h 04OPEN GRAVES23 - Edgar Allan Poe Wanted a Big Tiddy Goth GirlfriendHeather and Vesta chat about how the goth subculture is represented in mainstream media, interpreted by those outside the community, and often therefore fetishized. We discuss whether we tend to fetishize youth within the community, what happens when our aesthetic is decontextualized and sometimes appropriated, and why this podcast will never tag #gothgirl (ugh what a conundrum, we just did). We leave you with a cliffhanger of the manic pixie dead girl trope, which we will get into more in depth on our next guest-free episode.2022-10-0650 minOPEN GRAVES20 - Our Lives Are a Bottle Episode: How We Cope with “Goth Drama”Our scene has a reputation for being dramatic to a fault, and Vesta and Heather unpack whether this is really deserved. When we actively choose to stick with an insular community for decades, shit is bound to happen; after all, high school drama only lasts for four years and then you’re out! We discuss the difference between the meaning of drama, actual universal human suffering, the sometimes-healthy airing of grievances, and the importance of forgiveness. Shit, we should probably edit this all out.2022-09-091h 10OPEN GRAVES19 - Unapproachable Dorks with Jay ByrdIf you’re from LA, you have seen a shirtless man dancing up a storm, and that man is Jay Byrd and he is with us today. He tells us about growing up in Santa Clarita in an extremely preppy environment, having a jock phase, and how being bullied led to both an interest in martial arts and an overdevelopment of empathy. We discuss his compartmentalization of identity between work, family, fitness, and the goth scene (who is Jason White?), as well as the importance of male friendship in our scene and brunch with the boys (sometimes Vesta is on...2022-08-261h 27OPEN GRAVES18 - This Is a Lovely Bog: The Arts in the Goth CommunityIt is obvious that the goth scene is fueled by musicians, music, and dance, but how does the arts community in general overlap with the goth community? We discuss our experience as poets, working with productions such as Ex Corpse, a queer goth art collective, The Poetry Brothel in which Vesta is the token goth and proud of it, Heather's own book of published poetry, "Feral Black Sheep," and Wilde Words which focused on dandyism in literature. We have artists of every type in our scene, extending out to the blurrier boundaries of what is considered art, when we...2022-08-171h 05OPEN GRAVES16 - (You Don't Have To) Shave ItIt always seems to get weird when it’s just us. We get into an intimate subject that is more universal than specific to the goth scene, but Vesta is convinced we approach it a little differently: body hair and grooming. Aesthetic expression and gender dynamics are integral to our subculture, and that doesn’t stop at the covered parts. We discuss gendered expectations, how androgyny functions in our subculture, inclusive feminism, some TMI, and that goddamn Fad Gadget song. Drinking game: drink every time we say we have to cut something out, and clearly did not cut it out.2022-07-2856 minOPEN GRAVES15 - Ritual without Religion with Joe KeeperWe are joined by our second not-goth guest, Joe Keeper of Bar Keeper Silverlake. Vesta was the first goth person he had ever gotten to know, and he had questions; instead of just having a normal conversation about it, we decided to record it. What is the relationship, if any, of Rocky Horror to goth? How does androgyny function in the goth community? Do we shave more than our heads? How might goth compare to keeping kosher? Are we all this literate or do we have idiot goths too? Are there old goths? Is everyone white? Can we date...2022-07-1554 min
OPEN GRAVES13 - The Sublime Art of Gothic Drinking: Breaking Spirits Crossover with Sofonisba MerulaThis is our first crossover episode, originally published on Breaking Spirits! Vesta and Sofonisba cohost a podcast that explores the cultural histories that spirits, liquors, distillers, and cocktails carry with them and into our own imbibing experiences. With Heather as our guest, we delve into the intersection of goth and the Gothic with cocktail culture, from shrouded monasteries imagined by Victorian novelists, to the clubs and bars in our subculture today. You’ll also get Sofi’s original cocktail recipes for The Udolpho and The Black Cat; grab a drink and enter the abyss.2022-06-291h 33OPEN GRAVES11 - Friends in Dark Places and the Slow Bridge BurnHeather and Vesta get into a topic even more awkward than the dating episode: the varying states of friendships in the goth community (and the human experience in general). Romantic relationships get all the attention, but the emotional impact of changing friendships can take an even larger and unspoken emotional toll. There is even more verbal gymnastics to avoid violating anyone’s privacy, and be warned, there is poetry.2022-06-1558 min

This brings us to our first not-goth guest, Pops 3:16, Knott’s Scary Farm "Dark Entities" maze manager, joins us to discuss the overlap of the goth subculture and the drive to work as a Scare Actor, the need for empathy, and different types of fear responses, some of which involve the human butthole.
2022-05-261h 02OPEN GRAVES8 - Incest & Outsourcing (or Dating in the Goth Community)This is an awkward one, we’re discussing dating in the goth community - and also the experience of having relationships outside of the subculture. We are a deeply incestuous community; Vesta leans toward embracing the gross goth web, while Heather generally prefers to outsource and have some separation between subculture and relationships. We discuss how the incestuous web leads to a sometimes useful and sometimes problematic vetting system, the need to stay friends with exes, the spectrum of monogamous and poly folks in our community, and the phenomenon of gothic deception. Witness the verbal gymnastics we do in or...2022-05-1950 minOPEN GRAVES6 - The Voluptuous Horror with Marilynn HendrieOur guest today is Vesta’s Magenta Mother, Marilynn Hendrie. We discuss the goth gateway drug that is Rocky Horror, seemingly age-inappropriate friendships, extreme empathy, witchy spirituality, how we process sadness, and women supporting women in the community. Please pardon the snorting and scream-laughing.2022-05-0555 min
