overcoat rock
Never heard it either. I may have heard anorak rock for that genre, though, or I may just be getting all the British slang I know jumbled up again.
Jilli, I have categories like "Twee" and "Grrrl Punk."

'War Stories'
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.

I played The Gun Club, "The Stranger in our Town", this morning, and, probably because of this thread, was struck by how goth the song sounds.
I am, officially, all out of commas.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
one reason I love music shopping online now, you don't need to know categories and what independent stores carry what. Much easier for me who doesn't know much about non-mainstream stuff.

So in England, there are two separate musical genres named after outerwear?
This is something I did not know.

A review in the Boston Globe today describes Lou Barlow as "the godfather of emo". Knowing that he would be completely horrified to hear himself described that way, I forwarded the link to him. I'll let you know if he responds with anything quotable.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
It seems to me that no one who's described as "emo" agrees with that description.

That doesn't surprise me. While I'm woefully unfamiliar with the Gun Club, I've heard the Bad Seeds and Nick and the boys certainly have a Southern/Blues/Death thing going on that's at least tangentially gothy.

Oh please do. That's a riot. I haven't had a chance to get to it yet - did the Globe mean it as a compliment?

Definitely. I linked to the review above, Frank. Here it is again: [link]
