Just added this to the Goth(ish) video tape

I had no idea that This Mortal Coil ever did videos.
I always thought this was a response to the personification of a demanding audience, and a statement on the very idea of audience, not about a specific woman.
Yep, that's what I always thought. Besides, "Crowds" hasn't ever struck me as a song you would listen to over and over and over in your darkened room until your roommates stage an intervention and confiscate the cd.
I, too, once owned Disintegration and now do not. Even if I did own it, I'd never be able to listen to it--just reading the lyrics is painful, as cheesy as that might sound. Does that mean I can keep my Goth Card?
Yes. Oh my goodness, yes. You get to keep your Goth Card.

Just Liz singing with autumn leaves swirling around, but very moving for all that since she's very expressive as she sings, and it's a demanding "singer's song."
Darnelle's something of a Buckner vibe, but more maybe Buckner mixed with Garcia Marquez and minus a whole bunch of minor chords.
I love the 3 or 4 MG albums I do have, and I know I'd love the new one, too. Just no time or $$ for it, yet. But thanks for the hearty recommendation! I'm on it.
OK, now I can't remember. What album was Crowds from?
Yes. Oh my goodness, yes. You get to keep your Goth Card.
Wait, wait. Why did I lose mine, then?
It's blatant goth-ism, I tell you.

Oh, I would trade you a .zip of the new one for a .zip of your favorite of the earlier ones....
Sounds good! Have you ever heard Zopilote Machine? Do you have gmail (my mp3 trading email of preference)?
Wait, wait. Why did I lose mine, then?
Um, 'cos I was all sleep-deprived and cranky yesterday?

You can have the 'oontz oontz' edition Goth Card.
I'm going to see Faith & the Muse tonight. Mmmm, swirlygoth music.
So last night, the Pixies were awesome -- as expected -- but TV on the Radio blew me away. I'm normally wary of NYC hipster bands because they're so often overhyped, but these guys deserve all the praise I have heard about them. Stellar live, anyhow.
Hayden -- no, and yes - michelet at ....
Have we discussed the rumor of the Throwing Muses mini-reunion to open for the Pixies here in NY one night next week?
Misha: cool.
LJ: TV on the Radio are pretty damn good on album, too. I especially like the Young Liars EP (which includes an a capella version of Mr. Grieves).
