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???

Haha..yes Marianne is actually v. Optimistic compared with...

Mmm rakim is so gorgeous...

Lanark, insist on a rehearsal of your funeral now, that'd be really goth. Just insist on standing there while it goes on in a big black veil.

Oh fuck. American girl has started also dead can dance... 'We've been to long American dreaming I think we've lost our heart'...ow heart pain at the beauty...

Lanark I assume you have children? I've endured High School Musical and (c)rap music, so look forward to getting my own back

:) cockicidal I would fucking love that...

4AD had the best posters

Oh FUCK mesmerism........dead can dance shit....thus is neck hair standing...!!!

I've had to put Banshees Swimming Horses on to cheer myself up. lanark I agree with Cockacid but only if I can join in

Totes!!

I was never really a true goth as I prefered to listen to metal, but I loved to dress full goth and do the whole 'mean and moody' thing.

My favourite pastime was lying on top of tombs in old graveyards and upsetting passing old people.

The highlight of my life was being told my crimped hair was beautiful by Pete Steele.

I would love to put speakers along a big long yew tunnel and have a funeral at dusk with my body on a trolly pulled by black horses and an impossibly long train of people who knew me around the corner into the nearest town who wouldn't get to the yew tunnel until after midnight and everyone takes speed and vodka to keep awake till dawn

Cooling down now with the panto goth of Phantasmagoria

I want my funeral to be a series of Shakespeare soliloquies in a room of hooded witnesses who haven't washed since I died welcoming in my longest lost friends and telling them its their fault for not loving me more.

Hey untilthecowscimehome that's quite good! What metal is on the edge??

You've got it well planned!

Swimming horses ..

No one has mentioned Bowie, I would never have been a Goth without his influence, listening to Letter to Hermione...

This might be a totally left-field question but I'm going to ask it anyway. The 4 steps forward/4 steps back - was that a national thing or just a local (not telling you where) standard dance move?

Isn't that the Hokey Cokey?

In fact the album Space Oddity was the soundtrack to my best/worst year (1987 as illustrated up thread) I fell in love and got my heart broken. And I wouldn't change one thing about it

Bowie is known.

the right leg in bit was missing

I am on reptile NIN .. Want to get back so... Going via Marilyn Manson beautiful people then nitzer ebb hearts and minds then combi Christ ..er that one about the weapon!!..we are industrialists for a bit,!!?

Then some Bowie I guess.. Can we count Bauhaus Ziggy,??
