Oh my god, Zodiac Mindwarp. I had completely forgotten about them.
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.
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

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.

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.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
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.

Angus might be interested in this. (I know I am.)
Reissue of 1980 Cristina albums. What we're talking about here is Brecht-influenced Disco and New Wave. Also? Ferrets.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
The new reissue is mostly worthwhile for the three brilliant singles appended to it: a mercilessly funny rewrite of Peggy Lee's "Is That All There Is?" that the song's composers promptly suppressed, thanks to its lyrical updates ("I remember when I was a little girl my mother set the house on fire. She was like that")
What does Douglas mean by "suppressed"? The song showed up on that Xmas compilation album "A Christmas Record" that also had the Waitresses and Suicide. Was it withdrawn from the market?
