To have a little Goth night in on my own..

[Lanark2]

I have just been reminded of how much 'me' some of that dark 80s Goth stuff is, and my friends are being boring. AIBU to get wine (not blue nun or Liebfraumilch sadly) and listen to only Cure, Mission, Nephilim, and Mary Chain all night???

Can we up the metal? I've some iron maiden on vinyl...

The Best Goths And The Best People Are The Ones With The Most Convincing Mask

No metal...

But we can classify the trooper as being about the tragedy of medieval death and glory myths..so you can have the trooper..de di diddle de..etc..

Well, you can laugh...

Forgot how funky Kick In The Eye was

..but you wont...

Ok so now it's city is a cage by UK decay then it's trooper to get the metal heads up for a bit, then terror couple kill colonel (Bauhaus)/then DJ's personal choice - promised land skeletal family..hope that's OK..

Yay, I'll join you in the Temple of Love. Always brings back memories for dh and me even though it took another 10 years + to get together.

Might crack open the absinthe now - just got in n from work.

Alasalas2 I LOVED Full Tilt and had many an adventure there. You are right it was full of very beautiful people

Can I sneak in one crust punk (with crucifix on record sleeve,??,) amebix,??

Starting off at the Barrel Organ, obviously yep
Also JBs if we could get there!

Followed by Mr Egg.

Oh, and love my job. Can wear what I like as long as it's black and reasonably smart!

Goths should always take ages to get together..it has to be a story of overcoming resistance and passion making you and the respect/shag the arse off me dynamic coupled with a deep and unfathomable soul on either side that is tempted but never wavers from its true path

Haha Mr egg.... Ian asbury still talks about Mr egg!

It's one of the tragedies of youth that you never realise how beautiful you are. You can only see it in retrospect.

Beautiful words! Made me cry a little. I may have had too much wine

Hope you have room on the dance floor for an old fat arm flinging ex-goth velvet wearing dj

I miss those days, but have tickets to see the lovely Wayne next week and as I havent been to a gig since I saw the Mission in Leeds 6 years ago- roll on next week

Give me deliverance

No Mr Egg here as we had to get last train/bus back to Wolvo!

I got really excited when I saw Nephilim.

Are we talking Fields of the Nephilim, or Carl McCoys after-project Nefilim?

Both fantastic, but Nefilim's album Zoon really warms my cockles.

Me too, Signora - never given up my liquid eyeliner flicks, never will

Well, that's twelve quid I've just spent on ITunes replacing my old tapes.

Woah, this is like opening up a second brain..there's so much music i have boxed away!!

Anyone still own crimpers?

My old tapes are still under my bed making my sex life stressful for norms
