From that same chart...
25. The Kentucky Click - Crime and the City Solution
27. I Walk The Line - Alien Sex Fiend
Sort of the gothy heydey, I expect.
Oh, Zodiac Mindwarp weren't goth by any stretch of the imagination. They were ... well, loosely categorized as metal. The best explanation I can come up with is The Cult + Mother Love Bone + Rob Zombie = Zodiac Mindwarp.
msbelle, thanks for all the hard work! I'll look forward to the CDs. I'm happily to send my mix direct to anyone who doesn't have it...but I think I'll be offering a year-end mix as well so maybe I'll take requests for both at the same time, stay tuned.
Shock of shocks, the CD's were sent off to Steph today.
And I'm sad that my CD only made it to 3 people. *SNIFF* Although I DID keep meaning to send it straight to Angus. Maybe that'll be my project for tomorrow, as I have lost the copy I made for him?

Yay! I'm looking forward to something to give me a break in the endless Christmas music.
YAY! things are moving again.

Hey, I even sent them Priority, so they should be there in the next couple of days.
