This may or may not apply to Raq's quest, but if you wanna download one awesome song, try "Bullets" by tunng (from the Good Arrows album).
It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
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.

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

What are the things I should totally have listened to in the past 10 years?
Rise Against. Chicago punk band. One of my favorites.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Personally, I think people should listen to The Bouncing Souls whenever possible,though they've been around for more than the last ten years.

What's more Gothic?
or...
Both homes, of course, for very gothy writers.

I'd say the Abbey is more gothic, from those two photos anyway.

It's more ruined, for sure. Plus, you know - Byron! But Strawberry Hill was one of the very first Gothic Revival houses - a true folly. And Walpole did write a gothic classic.
Check out the library.

Can't I just have both? And the staff to support them?
