S.D. Hello and welcome to anyone reading. I'm an Englishman of relatively simple tastes and pleasures, I don't ask for a lot in life, I try not to let things that don't really matter irritate me, and I don't spend a lot of money. I guess that's sometimes a default option given there isn't always a lot to go round, but still, greed is a swift path to failure. My favourite past-times include wine, breasts, Science Fiction, cups of tea, and 'Tarting About A Bit'. I currently reside in Brighton, in the south of England, and love it. I hold a degree in Film Theory, completed at The University Of Sussex during "The Great Siege" of Two-Thousand-And-Nine. I have also studied Media, German Romanticism, Documentary film-making, Photography, and the English Language. I once had an illiterate, alcoholic, bigoted alter-ego called Dave. My greatest fear is that I will one day turn into this character. At least the drink will still taste good though. I don't know what else to say other than that, feel free to ask though.
STAFF INFORMATION
Since then Marilyn Manson has been the cultural figure (and band) whose art I enjoy and respect above any other, with Mechanical Animals still the most beautiful and revered album in my record collection. More than just a musician, Manson is - for those who know what to look for - a tutor and "Role Villain".
From '99 onwards I had become interested not only in the blood-and-guts rock n' roll aspect of Marilyn Manson, but also the multifaceted references to philosophy and culture contained within album art, lyrics and music videos. Inspired by various magazine articles and Gavin Baddely's Dissecting Marilyn Manson, I sought to memorise and cross-reference interview quotations and visual indicators to gain a greater understanding of Manson's work. From this point I started visiting online communities focused on the band, and casually writing essays about Manson's art and music from around 2005, whilst also moving around the country and studying for my degree.
Though many of the existent resources were adequate, fanbase shifts and the closure of numerous valuable Manson fansites during 2009 prompted me to complete my idea for a website I'd nurtured for several years - 'Provider Module'.
I first saw the band play live during the Guns, God And Government tour in London 2001, the most recent show I saw was during The High End Of Low tour with several members of Provider Module, in December 2009.

I have a potentially unhealthy obsession with the British Science Fiction series Doctor Who, which has been a lifelong love since the age of about twelve. I once had a wardrobe painted like a TARDIS (by hand of course), and still own a home-made, twelve-foot scarf like the one Tom Baker's Doctor wears. My favourite Doctor is Jon Pertwee, and I have been lucky enough to meet Colin Baker, who played The Sixth Doctor.

I first encountered Marilyn Manson properly in 1998, aged twelve. I had previously read band interviews and seen footage from Antichrist Superstar's Dead To The World tour, but it wasn't until hearing the opening bars of Sweet Dreams on a friend's stereo and seeing cover art for the recently released Mechanical Animals that my attention truly peaked.
