SUVs suck, octopuses rule, and Bush likes killing Arabs.

It's nice to know that the world never changes.

(Hat tips: rackletang for the octopuses, uberbitsch for the Camus.)

True, but most goths I knew when I was goth also listened to the Cure. They didn't admit it out loud. Whatever. I looked through their CD collections.

[eyelidlessness.livejournal.com]

They were embarrassed to have someone find something good in their CD collections?

[eyelidlessness.livejournal.com]

Oh, I should add... there is good goth music. It's called Bauhaus.

[sabotabby]

Agreed.

Case in point: I can still listen to Bauhaus even though I'm no longer a goth.

My self-identifying goth housemates swear by Sisters of Mercy as well.

[sabotabby]

I still like them too, on occasion, but not as much.

My love for the Legendary Pink Dots has not abated, but they're not really goth, either.

I listen to goth even though I've NEVER been a goth. And I saw The Dots; they were atrocious live. I mean, it was just embarrassing.

[sabotabby]

Seriously? I've seen them twice now (well, the second time was Edward Ka-Spell solo) and they were awesome.

I hated it. The show bored me to tears, and there were hippie goths fluttering around like it was a Grateful Dead concert. The "Modern Man" spoken word number was particularly silly. Oh, and when the saxophonist started thrusting his pelvis in some girl's face while wearing a lascivious leer on his old man mug... gross. It was kind of entertaining that Edward Ka-spel performed in his jammies, though.

I'm just glad that Rasputina put on a pretty decent opening act.

[sabotabby]

Were we at the same show? I saw Rasputina and they bored me to tears.

[nom-de-grr.livejournal.com]

Not unless you made your way down to St. Pete, FL for that one.

Hey, I love the Dots. I haven't seen them in like 5 years...
