I THOUGHT I'D take the opportunity to formally start off this open-ended editorial which we'd like to call the GOD CLUB DAILY REPORT. My name's David Blunk, II. I'm a twentysomething, gangly, odd-haired, unabashed electronic punk multimedia artist living in Detroit, USA. My co-conspirators and I, collectively known as GOD CLUB, after more than a year of planning and production, have decided to start presenting you with items, artists, ideas, sounds, videos, etc. that we find relevant for quite a few reasons. Here's a list of the most important ones:

• (SUB) CULTURAL VALUE: We tend to dig deep to find the degenerate, hyper-productive, scarily in-your-face fringe of renegade creative output, and want nothing more than to help those that create said output gain a wider exposure and access to critique and discussion.
• WAYWARD IDEOLOGICAL/POLITICAL/APOLITICAL STANCE: We passionately desire to highlight and exhibit, along with the output of, the stories behind individuals we encounter who are doing, living, breathing, and ACTING OUT outside of normativity.
• TACT & HUMOR: Much like ourselves, we wish to give you access to others who make quite a serious and valid statement with what they do all while maintaining a thought-out balance of earnestness, lowbrow/bathroom humor, well-kept, classy tact (heretofore referred to as CLACT), and openness.

WE AIM TO expose you to something new (or at least new to you) at the very least, daily. We have an intital loose deadline of one of our contributors posting to the REPORT by each day's evening. Keep in mind, we are virgins to "web-logging (heretofore referred to as blogging)," and this loose deadline could, in fact, be highly conceptual. This should have no reflection on our true, ever present desire, need even, to keep this REPORT relevant, even avante.

WE'LL ACCOMPLISH THIS in a multitude of ways (we have a lot of tricks up our glittery, flouncy, well-tailored sleeves...). We'll be highlighting individuals, labels, collectives, movements, darlings and dandies. We'll be interviewing movers and shakers, rabble-rousers, juvenile delinquents, slutty debutantes, writers, accordionists, and the occasional pet cat. We'll be uploading radio shows, songs, and deejay mixes by ourselves, our friends, and our idols. We'll be pointing you to videos, other blogs, interactive art, and galleries that provoke, entertain, chide, disdain, and illuminate. And, finally, we'll be showcasing our own individual projects, events, happenings, accolades, and epiphanies when they...well, happen.

ALL OF THIS, to initiate and introduce you to one of our main slogans, FOR YOUR PLEASURE. As your moderator, please consider this: If you're so inclined, always feel free to send your thoughts and comments to me via commenting on an individual post, clicking my name in the "CONTRIBUTORS" sidebar and shooting off an email, or prodding me for a personal postal address. This is an ever-standing offer. I, and we, are here for YOU. If you'd like to know more about the theology and reasons behind what we're doing beside those that I've outlined here, please follow the link in the sidebar to godclub.org.

I look forward to what's to come.

With love,

David S. Blunk, II
