I'm a vision of hotliness, and how weird is that? Mystical comas. You know, if you can stand the horror of a higher power hijacking your mind and body so that it can give birth to itself, I really recommend 'em.

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
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.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

You'd be the best passport control officer ever down at the Goth INS.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
The shoegaze era?
Heh. It's a whole genre of British rock from the early 90s, notable for (a) it's thick, swirling (rather psychedelic) guitar textures and (b) the tendency of the bands to be anti-charismatic. That is - they stood on stage and stared at their shoes while they played all the effects pedals on their guitars.

Awwww. Come on to my house and we'll drink tasty things and critique gothy videos for style and execution.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
And also because it really ought to be against the law not to have "Under the Milky Way" as a part of your music library.
I have two songs by The Church in my possession; yet "Under The Milky Way" is not one of them. This is ok, because it is in my brother's possession, and will thus be mine once I return to Melbourne. (PS: I am right in taking them to be Australian, not British, right?)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The Church? Goth?
I love Lush, MBV, The Church and Ride. But I don't have any of the mentioned albums. What was I doing in the early '90s that I don't own those? Oh yeah, mostly leaching off my friends' record collections.
"Black Metalic" and "Crank" are the only Catherine Wheel songs that comes to mind, but I loves them both dearly....

Truer words were never spoken.
PJ Harvey & Bjork & Tori Amos
Some magazine did a story on all three back in the mid '90s. The three of them were annoyed that the magazine saw fit to lump them together, as they all felt their music had little in common other than being made by "weird chicks" or somesuch.

Not really, but...fellow travelers? Moody? Ethereal?

Yeah, but I bet you a silver dollar they all have each other's records.

The Church? Goth?
By association. A huge majority of goths (n = all my friends in the Boston goth scene) love the Church.

I can dig that.

I like a lot of goth music. I never actually became a goth, nor, for that matter, a hippie or a punk - despite having some leanings toward all three. I never became anything, as far as sub-cultural identity goes. Never got any piercings or tatoos either.

Also, oddly, the Moody Blues are fairly respected. Weird, that.
