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.

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

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

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.

Thanks for the well thought out suggestions. I'll check into some of that which i really didnt even think of.

Haha... Yeah actually i've specificly been agonizing over Killing Joke, Virgin Prunes, Black Tape For A Blue Girl... Legendary Pink Dots and a few others becasue i cant seem to find like "the easy to like" tracks. BTFABG is ... like the same 3 songs over and over, they sound nice but nice in a soundscape ok were is the "hit" type way. All My Lovers? Shadow of a Doubt?

Stranglers im totally unaware of ill have to check them out same for X-Ray spex. Thanks for the heads up.

The Jesus And Mary Chain - I've got all their albums i think. All ripped on my computer, have yet to actually pick anything, probably just the push i need.

Virgin Prunes... hell if i can pick one or two that seem standoutish. "Pagan Lovesong" is supposed to be the "hit" but it really doesnt strike me as something anyone is going to go "hey damn... thats catchy" I've listend to like 25 tracks.

Killing Joke - Eighties is all i can come up with. (which is queued up for the next batch but there has got to be more than one dang song) another band i've been demoing the crap out of.

Gene Loves Jezebel is another one - Desire? Jealous? meh. Somone tell me some specific tracks heh. Its mind-wrenching.

The Damned - there is Grimy Fiendish (which is queued up atm) I'll check out the ones you listed.

Fields of the Nephillim... another delemia. Other than "moonchild" which seems to be their "classic" im stumped. Psychonaut? Dawnrazor? Neither seem to stand out.

I want joe-blow Gothy/Industro listener to be able to fire up DGN Radio and for the most part go "hey this is good stuff" i don't want to put anything on there that takes, lets call it... "force feeding" to get into. For instance , i might like 40 tracks from skinny puppy but there is only a very small handful your joe-blow listener is going to get into. (just as an example)

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

This is What You want

*Stranglers

(esp songs:)

No More Heros

(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

I seriously thank you for your seriousness.

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