Not a Goth.

Bonus VGN this weekend! I'm supporting DJ Po's annual drive to purchase Holiday toys for mothers and children escaping Domestic Violence. In addition to my regular Friday night stream at 8pm UK, I'll be streaming for the event from 1pm to 3pm on Saturday.

Yup, it's Halloween, and you know what that means? Yup, as usual we have no idea what's happening tonight on VGN (link in bio...) The only thing we do know is we have a metric ton of Bandcamp codes you can try to get your hands on, and we'll need work out how this afternoon! 🤯

This weekend, it's the turn of The Birthday Massacre supported by Lesbian Bed Death!

Yes, New Model Army were epic in Edinburgh on Saturday night. Have you seen them on this tour?

There is no rest for the wicked ones. New Model Army, Edinburgh Corn Exchange, let's go!

Seasonal redeem, now available on Twitch! For a low low number of channel points, you too can make me force a Mr Kipling Fiendish Fancy into my face! This one was a bit pesky, but they all go down a treat!

All together now, and loudly for those standing far off on the right...

Today's breakfast. Discovered in a mysterious 24 hour shop in Edinburgh.

It's a VGN takeover! Catch me for a couple of hours at https://twitch.tv/matthart3808 where I'll be playing who knows what...

On this day 46 years ago, #Bauhaus released their debut single, the groundbreaking #BelaLugosisDead. The prototype #gothicrock song, it is now considered one of the most influential moments in the emerging #goth subculture theblogginggoth.com/2019/08/06/b...

Reminder: no stream tonight! Catch up on some of my previous nonsense on my Mixcloud: https://www.mixcloud.com/Arricc/

I got let loose on Saturday to spin some tunes to some non-Virtual Goths! It's all a blur now, but to keep up with my IRL event shizz, go follow Auldernative! Links etc at Auldernative.com

Unexpected trad non-goth music last night! After a power cut to my area was not to be immediately fixed by the engineers turning everything off and on again, we decided to run a few errands and give us more free time today. This included a quick visit to the Stonehaven Folk Festival!

New World Record time for a VGN recording to hit Mixcloud! This one went up on Saturday afternoon 😱🤯 If you missed the journey of musical wonder which was VGN #357 or you want to check it out again check the link below: 👉👉 https://www.mixcloud.com/Arricc/virtual-goth-night-357-2025-06-27/

Before heading out to the Moshulu Reloaded event tonight in Aberdeen, catch Arricc and Nerocipher doing a warm up stream with some questionable drinks on Twitch from 6pm UK! Come join us for the pre-game at https://www.twitch.tv/virtualgothnight

Remembering this great tweet on the Summer Solstice

New ears acquired, let's see how spikey tunes are tonight! We're back once again for the renegade master AND the ill behaviour, from 8pm UK on Twitch.

I have run albums like God's Own Medicine and Dawnrazor through an online tool that uses AI to make karaoke versions, so I can listen to the glorious lush gothic rock I loved as a teen, but without all those embarrassingly bad lyrics. Sorry Wayne, Carl etc

Another afternoon of day drinking? Go on then. This time it's an afternoon resurrection of The Venue, so expect lots of early 80s goth and post punk to be on my mind. The whole event is on vinyl, I'd be scared to use mine!

25 years after the release of 𝗢𝗼𝗽𝘀!…𝗜 𝗗𝗶𝗱 𝗜𝘁 𝗔𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻, we had a big party on Twitch to celebrate the re-release - 𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗻𝗲𝘆, 𝗧𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵! Those of you who missed/avoided/dodged it can listen to it at your leisure over on my Mixcloud. https://www.mixcloud.com/Arricc/its-britney-twitch/

Yes, I suppose that was a Britney Spears tribute stream last night. I know you can't wait until I upload the recording to Mixcloud.

25 years since Britney dropped Oops.... LFG!!!!

Off to see the Pixies at the big house tonight. This is my face before discovering the drink prices are Gigantic... We think this is our first non-festival gig of the year - have you managed to see many great bands locally?

Get in the bus - we're going Day Drinking! What's your go to hot day beverage?

Ah yes - back on it again, after last week's shenanigans...

The VGN DJ Laptop appears to have caught Tanz Flu from partying too hard with you all last weekend! 😭 Sorry folks, it's going to need a hot stone massage, and a sound bath 🧘‍♂️🕉️ #ProperFucked #Sorry #Spanner

We'll wait. (Because we're trapped for a few more hours. Not quite made it back as far as Scotland from Resistanz yet, and this is a hot topic of debate in the car. A few more hours to go...)

✈️HOLIDAY SEASON🌴 REMINDER - No stream tonight! Catch the crew at Resistanz this weekend!
