Saw the Dead Can Dance concert last night, at an outdoor venue. Which means that as dusk fell, I was watching Dead Can Dance perform live while bats swooped and fluttered in the trees; a perfect gothy moment.
For one of the encores, Brendan Perry sang "Song to the Siren". You know, the song written by Tim Buckley that This Mortal Coil covered, that every goth of a certain age gets swoony and wildly-emotional over? Pete said watching me and the StuntHusband simultaneously freak out when the song started was a little eerie.

le n, that was pretty cool. Thanks for linking.
You know, I'm a little worried that Bowie hasn't done anything since he had heart problems seven years ago.
He was pretty markedly missing from the closing ceremonies.
Bowie turned down an offer to perform. They mention his absence from the public eye, but don't mention his health.

He has really done nothing since he had major heart surgery in 2004. Just a few guest appearances.

Hey P-C, I really like that GroupLove album you recommended on FB. Thanks!
Oh, yay!! Glad you like it.
Looking for, not sad, per se, but slow fiddle music, like Thomas Newman's score from The Horse Whisperer [link] or Jeff Beal from Carnivale [link] or the bookends of Seminole Wind [link] but, not a score or soundtrack. I don't even know what to search for. I keep winding up with jigs and rags and bagpipes and Cajun music when I'm looking for sorrowful or contemplative or just ambient.
