Paper Hearts

Sea of Love~Iggy Pop

^I believe Troy has some Love & Rockets in the que, already; not sure of the titles. However, if he hasn't choosen Seventh Dream of Teenage Heaven, give him a firm talking to.

In addition, I've noticed the "View Today's Active Topics" option is not working, either.

I have been able to post, however, the "View New Posts" option has been regularly malfunctioning since about noon. It's yet not working.

Oh, shut up.

I didn't see anyone while you were in town, I stayed in my apartment. It's not because I hate you, it's because I hate life.

Sheese.

X-Ray Spex and the Stranglers were some of the first goth bands. They were both before the label "goth" had been attached and terms like "new romantics" were sort of obscure, too. This music is sort of a extra-nihilistic punk rock (and before the "hardcore" fusion punks), but these bands are bands that are recognized as being amongst the first goth bands, by critics, today. The Damned are another one of these types and they actually were "gigging" earlier than the Sex Pistols. Some people might be inclined to call some of the Damned's music standard-issue punk, but the Damned and bands like them illustrate how goth was really present in punk, from the beginning. The Damned were definitely an easily recognizable goth band by album Phantasmagoria. PiL also stresses how punk/goth were so intertwined, being lead by Johnny Lydon, and really one of the first consciously goth bands, they appearing in the late 1970s. PiL's early stuff is brilliant, but watch out for their late music with guitarist Steve Vai--oh, it sucks. The song that sticks out to me by Virgin Prunes is 'If I Die, I die', but you're right, it's quite a dilemma choosing from such a wretched collection of music. Gene Loves Jezebel: Desire and/or Jealous would be appreciated choices, I'm sure. Killing Joke: So unspectacular seeming to me that I can hardly help you. But you look like you have them under control. Black Tape For A Blue Girl: This Lush Garden Within? -Fond memories of that song and that entire album, here.

I have these suggestions: *Adam Ant/Adam and the Ants Anything by Adam and the Ants + Goody Two Shoes (I'm not sure any other music represented the "new romantics" better on the airwaves than that of Adam Ant/Adam and the Ants) *Jesus and Mary Chain Far Gone and Out Save Me You Trip Me Up Just Like Honey Come On Down on Me Head On Reverance (Mopey. Did I miss any?) *X-ray Spex (esp songs:) Oh Bondage Up Yours! *Morrissey Interlude (duet w/ Siouxsie Sioux) I'm So Sorry Ouija Board, Ouija Board Life Is a Pigsty I Just Want To See The Boy Happy Lifeguard Sleeping, Girl Drowning The Ordinary Boys *New York Dolls Frankenstein Pills Jet Boy *PiL (esp songs:) Flowers of Romance This is not a Love Song This is What You want *Stranglers (esp songs:) No More Heros *The Damned Jet Boy/Jet Girl *Killing Joke (anything) (not the most amazing music, actually pretty average, but they're (were) a popular goth rock band and fairly harmless) *Virgin Prunes (anything) (god-awful. another band I really dislike, but they're still very "collectable" if you're trying to round out the goth section of your rock music library (to say the least)) *Gene Loves Jezebel (anything) *Black Tape for a Blue Girl (anything) (While Marilyn Manson claimed to be the mid 1990s heir to the gothic thrown, this band actually was)

Babyshambles~the 32nd of December

I am seriously going to be away from dgn for a while, today. i hope that everyone will have the maturity to take this thread seriously while I'm out.

You seriously realize what Freud would say.

I seriously had a dream about peeling garlic while listening to Old Man River, last night. I seriously don't own that record.

That's seriously pretty common.

Vykos, you seem to be a serious post-er, already. You may have serious issues.

Headwreck is seriously the god of gothic humor.

I seriously felt I had to.

I think she seriously felt that she had to respond.

Jesus and Mary Chain~Head On

Iggy Pop~Never Met a Girl Like You Before

Smiths~That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore

This thread is so serious. If you're going to use it, hope you can handle that kind of serious responsibility.
