"It's another choice besides cement skyscrapers and business suits."
I actually saw Amanda Dutton, one of the featured Goths, around town recently. Maintaining Ultimate Gothdom in New York summer is rough. That Tribes of New York feature was fucking weaksauce, though. I mean, who listens to With Vengeance?

Just last night I was putting away records, preparing for houseguests, and I realized I had doubles of just about every Cure album. I can't be bothered with all that hair product and shit, though. I wear black on the inside, cause black is how I feel on, well, the inside.

Seriously, where was the fucking New York Times in 1988? Here's my Hometown Goth Girls??? (some of you may remember from last year) feature:

it's all about the crushed velvet
(true story)
Seriously, what skeletal remains lie in purgatorial abyss in the faux_rills goth closet?
Does it surprise you to learn that I am actually familiar with this song?
STARS
Does it surprise you to learn coselmed showed me your crushed velvet jumper while you were fixing the drinks last time I was at your place?
Can we talk about that tattoo now?
My secret fear of being alone
I sit and hold hands with myself
I sit and make love to myself
I've got blood on my hands
I've got blood on your hands
Blood on your hands
Blood!
For the benefit of all you lurkers: It's not even like that. I checked out Christian Death when I was younger and more--how do you say?--"open-minded," but ultimately concluded that the name was much better than the music.
Mozzer ain't a Goth girl and never will be. He is a sensitive SoCal dude, now.
Life is pain, though
dude that is so real. pencilled on the mead notebook covers of budding afrocentrics and budding practictioners of the dark arts alike!
I realized recently that Cure's "Disintegration" is one of my favorite albums ever. My brother and I bought it when it first came out and have loved it since. But, my whole thing with that album is: it came out in 1989. What the fuck was I so sad about when I was 9 years old that I was listening to such melancholy music?
-e
SoCal is no joke and I believe gay would be more accurate than ghey in this instance. And I'm not even a fan...
Mexican fans
I'm not even a fan... what?!
saying
those dudes attack me at every record show and fight over the dutch Smiths 12"s
they are serious
Emynd, you know the time. Fascination Street is no joke.
Now where is Iron Monkey? He is a bigger Cure fan than all of us
yup. it's true. i'm that rare breed of early 30s music fan that never liked the Smiths/Morrissey, I just like the gladiolas.
same here, I was 9 when I listened to that album. That song about the spider-man would freak me out.
Got my copy by trading Iron Maiden's 'Tailgunner' for it.
I know you're a moderator and all, but dude, FUCK YOU!
DON'T TEST MY GOTH?
Ask anyone. Iron Monkey is nice, but he plays futbol. C'mon, real goths don't touch the pigskin. And I believe I'm the only one who has consistently rode for The Cure in every gaybashing/what's the deal with hairspray and mascara thread this board has seen. No offense, but I have the shattered glass cover of Disintegration, what's Adrian got? I have the studio version 12" of "Jack The Ripper", what's Adrian got?
And I don't believe Morrissey has ever publicly acknowledged his sexuality, so it's neither ghey nor gay, but... :curious?:
It took a tattooed boy from Brooklyn
To really, really open her eyes
BEEF! BEEF! BAN! BAN!
lol
I dunno, we're gonna have to get Iron Monk in here to weigh in with this Cure promo 12"s or something. I'm just saying, sorry to TET your Gothster.
I bought Index Magazine when Morrissey was on the cover, excited to read about his life in Los Angeles. The photos in the issue were taken by Wolfgang Tillmans (blushes). We happen to be friends with the woman who represents Tillmans, and one night at dinner amidst a very sophisticated conversation of fine art commodity, Tillmans name was brought up. Seeing the open door, I lunged in, "Can you score me prints of the photos Wolfgang took of Moz?"
Not only was she completely unaware of such a lowly "Band Photo???" commercial venture of one of her many clients, but I was met with the steel-eyed coldness of an art dealer that, while she was 30, had obviously outgrown her Morrissey phase long, long ago. The topic, being shot dead in its tracks, changed to apartment redocorating. While everyone was weighing the options of exposed brick, I threw a "well, it's only bricks and mortar" in the mix... on deaf ears.
Where the world's ugliest boy became what you see.
Here I am - the ugliest man
I ask again, what skeletal remains lie in purgatorial abyss in the faux_rills goth closet?
I thought the Cure and Morrissey where 80's rock or new wave or something.
Tell your futbol friend that I used "If Only Tonight We Could Sleep" for a Lil' Kim "Suck My Dick" mash 4 years ago, when he was extinguishing the smoldering embers of his kung fu and modern soul stages.
Discuss...
Then an angel would come/ With burning eyes like stars
And bury us deep/ In his velvet arms
"We Hate it When Our Friends Become Asexual"
Pretty much
Umm... Then perhaps the myriad of "hot or not" threads are more your pace, Young Phobix?
Such a little thing
A fumbling politeness
The difference saved me
Wielding a bicycle chain
Why won't you change?
"I WILL NOT CHANGE
AND I WILL NOT BE NICE"
Most people keep their brains
Between their legs
(Don't you find ?)
'Che Gwarera:
Definetly not a "homophobic" thing. I thought I'd mention it because I know these are groups that have a cult fanbase but yet I don't even know a single song by them. What's their "big smash" hit??!?! The one that gets all the black mesh shirts in a frenzy.
I WANT TO KNOW THE "T.R.O.Y." OF THIS GOTH SHIT!
