Waaaaaay back, and I'm talking back even before our extended hiatus, a video surfaced online that featured rapper Tech N9ne that served as a message to all the fans of Repo the Genetic Opera and The Devil's Carnival that a sequel was coming. Then -- silence. We got tidbits here and there on Facebook and Twitter, but now, finally, we have the full trailer, and confirmation that next year, we will have the sequel we've been waiting for. And it looks fantastic. Check out the official trailer for The Devil's Carnival: Alleluia.
I am blown away. We already knew that Tech N9ne and Paul Sorvino would be back and it's obvious Emilie Autumn isn't going anywhere (and why should she!?), but look at some of the other names of people who have contributed to this project. Jimmy Urine (Mindless Self Indulgence), Adam Pascal (Rent), David Hasselhoff (duh), Bill Moseley! Holy crap! The section name dropping artists is literally one long run-on sentence-paragraph. I mean jesus.
The trailer itself looks to be of much better quality than the first movie, which admittedly was done on a tight budget. The music sounds very fitting, and the plot, involving the seedy underbelly of God (Sorvino) and his crew along with the Devil (Zdunich) not taking the crap any more really make for an interesting piece. Darren Lynn Bousman has never disappointed me from his grip on the Saw franchise to Repo to this series of movies, and I don't expect Alleluia to disappoint.
One thing that is on the mind of all of the fans of the Zdunich/Bousman duo is the length of the first project. The scope of this movie expands far beyond three lost souls finding their way through the carnival of Hell. I really hope this reaches full movie length and ditches the mini-movie aspect of the first installment. The stars are here (sadly minus Alexa Vega), the music is here, now we just need to get the time to flesh it all out and make sure every aspect of this potential masterpiece is shown to it's intended audience.
No specific release date is given. The trailer merely states "2015", but I'm sure more details will surface in the remaining months of 2014.
Music, Pop Culture, Television, and (of course) Drag Queens.

Top Ten: GaoSalad's Favorite Albums Ever (Part One)
The time has come for a list so amazing and massive that it not only must surpass the standard countdown of five, but must also be split into two parts! This post is the first piece of a two part special to kick off the return of the ever popular "Top Five" articles that have been among the most fun and most popular recurring articles on the site! I did my best to think of what I find to be the best albums of all time, and it really did take a lot of thinking. Some of these may catch you off guard, and others you may see coming from a mile away.
Actually, in all honesty I kind of hate doing "Top Five Favorite" posts, because I always feel like I'm forgetting something glaringly obvious. I took about a week to brainstorm and compile this list, so I'm hoping that it reflects me accurately. Some of the picks may be seen through nostalgia goggles, but others are far too fresh for that. The dates range from earlier this year to two decades before I was born. There's no limits and no ass kissing this time -- it's just simply GaoSalad's Top Ten Favorite Albums Ever (Part One)!
10. Scissor Sisters - Magic Hour
How could a LGBT themed music site make a list of top albums and not include the one that spawned the biggest gay anthem of the decade? "Let's Have A Kiki" has become a massive hit for the band in the gay community, and it has placed the group back at the top where they belong. I didn't choose the album for this song -- at least not entirely. The entire album is amazing from start to finish. I admit it did take a while to grow on me, but once I realized the full brilliance of the piece, it became a permanent part of my musical library. Every single track on the album is relatable for myself, from heatbreak, to longing, to wanting to break free from restrictions. Why so low on the list? Well you'll just have to keep scrolling to see the awesomeness that is the rest of my favorites.
(The 9-6 under the cut!)
