No, but Goth Marvin Gaye? Unintentionally amusing. As is Goth Janis.
Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Portentious? Or pretentious?
Full of portent. Scrying and...eh. I'm not fully invested in this. But I do see a similarity in the Lizard King Mythic Rock/Ritual Ceremony Boohahaha vibe of The Doors and similarly gothic moodmasters. It's a mood thing. Doors songs: "Riders on the Storm," "The End," "The Crystal Ship," "The Horse Latitudes." These are all full of gloomy gothy conceits.
I don't think the self-destructive element is inherently goth. In fact, goths as a group are more prone to growing old gracefully and showing exquisite taste in their furnishings. Metrosexuals of the Night!

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Plus, The Cult really REALLY wanted to be The Doors reborn for a while. But I agree that VU was far more influential to goth music.

Band name! Band name!
I'm calling dibs on it right now. Because when the other half of the Gothic Fashion HiveMind and I get around to forming our band (that will make us FAMOUS in Japan, I tell you. They will WORSHIP us!), no other name will do. Honest.

Speaking of covers (OK, I'm a day behind...)
If NotReallyASpring is around, the 125 Records site has an mp3 from the forthcoming Scott Miller/Anton Barbeau collaboration. It's a Stones cover.

Okay, even on dial-up, I've almost used my 50 free downloads in one day at e-music. The only full albums I've taken are Shoot Our the Lights and In The Aeroplane, Over The Sea. And I took all but few songs of Dinosaur Jr.'s Bug, an album twice lost by me already.

I don't think the self-destructive element is inherently goth.
Yeah, for all the death imagery and whatnot, goths don't usually strike me as the type to get really self destructive.
Unlike, say, big chunks of the punk and blues crowds.

Thanks Corwood.
I'm embarrassed to admit that I've never heard Shoot Out the Lights before. I've heard the song, and I've heard about the album for years, but it never made it's way into my hands until now.
