Angel: You know, I killed my actual dad. It was one of the first things I did when I became a vampire. Wesley: I hardly see how that's the same situation. Angel: Yeah. I didn't really think that one through.

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I think this is where Jon hires a "lovely assistant."

Another fun iPod moment: Marvel Hill by the Cardigans followed by Nata Di Marzo by Pizzacatto Five.
Woohoo! Followed by Army of Me by Bjork! Sorry, I'll stop with my iPodness. (For now.)

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
That is a beautiful statue. I particularly enjoy the photo at sunset.

Having never paid attention to Sisters of Mercy or The Mission (UK) before, I have to say they're kind of like hair metal bands.
Is this why Sisters of Mercy kept swearing they weren't goth? I think the trend continues, though...I have to say that Evanescence is kind of like Metallica.

This whole concept of scene vs. sound cracks me up. What makes someone a Goth band vs. a Hair Metal band? It should be what they sound like, but people are so hung up on what "scene" everyone belongs to that they can't see past the self and PR assigned labels.
t edit because Hail is not Hair, unless you're the Snow Miser.

I specifically addressed this point in the book. Goth bands aren't even treated as belonging in "rock" (whatever that means anymore). Even Amoeba has a separate section for Goth and Darkwave. But it's sometimes difficult to separate or even hear the music that is strongly associated with a particular scene. Sonically Goth can be anything from the Creatures tribal drumming, to Liz Fraser covering Tim Buckley a capella to WaxTrax industrial to the Mission's pop metal to the Cure (who themselves are so sonically varied they can go from skewed pop to dense droning rock).
Indie Rock itself was just as varied musically, but lumped together by philosophy and association and scene.

Honestly? The way the guitar solo sounds. That's the only difference.
I've been told that there is an out-of-print CD called "The Pink and the Black" and it showcased goth and hair metal bands from L.A.'s scene in the early 90s. I haven't found a copy yet, tho'.
