November 3rd, 2008

I Usually Listen to The Cure, Type O Negative, and Malice Mizer.

Im looking for more bands like Malice Mizer and Kozi.

I wouldn’t consider the bands you listed goth (except maybe a few of The Cure’s albums), but here’s a few of the more obvious goth bands:

Bauhaus
Christian Death
Siouxsie and the Banshees
Specimen

Goth day in R&P ( filling in charaters for yahoo)?

November 2nd, 2008

Name some Goth , darkwave, ect. bands that you like.
No Vivky its not wither /or. I think thye all fit nicely in that gotic genre.
Forgive the typos, I am only one my second cup of coffee.
MC BC, I want that Box set!!!!

I guess I'll start with darkwave. Deleyaman is a nice one, especially "Yergnain". Definitely something to listen to when you're in a slow or lazy mood, but still good. Helium Vola's pretty interesting as well. "Selig" is a perky song, lol.

Hungry Lucy, I've seen fall under a darkwave/trip hop sound. "Could It Be" is catchy (if darkwave can be called catchy). Next, industrial darkwave (Collide, L'Ame Immortelle, Leandra, Mortiis).

Now on to my favorite - neoclassical darkwave. Chaostar has that nice creepy feel to it, and there are other good bands such as Narsilion, Stoa, WeltenBrand, etc. but my favorite is still Dargaard. They just can't be beaten. Yes, their stuff is a bit repetitive in each song, but I actually like that.

Some people named some other stuff so I'll toss in some plain gothic stuff as well. For a nice gothic classical (if you will) sound, I highly recommend Ashram, Dark Sanctuary, and La Pianiste Qui Rêvait D'humanité (if you can find it). Dark Sanctuary has some of the most beautiful yet chilling songs I've ever heard.

If you're really into creepy stuff, I'd give Dreamlike Horror a shot (gothic metal), or Atrium Carceri (dark ambient).

Lesiëm is kind of interesting - sort of like a dark New Age band. And I must, once again, suggest Elend and Arcana.

Looking for punk, goth and industrial clubs, stores, and partys here in Memphis. Staying here for a week and just looking to get into the scene. Also looking for some really good all night coffee shops (NOT Starbucks!!!)

In Memphis, it is best to just stay indoors and probably never leave the house. Sorry. Bad place.

Do you agree with my Unified Theory on why most of us are losers…?

October 23rd, 2008

My hypothesis (alternatively spelled hypotenuse) is that at least 80% of us are losers/failures in life. For me I am a failure because I’m not a professional NFL middle linebacker and I am an embarrassment to the memory of my late father as a result. I’m also a failure because of my profound fear of rattlesnakes, tornadoes, spiders and startling noises.

For some guys, they are failures because they can’t get the quality of women they want for whatever reason. Either because of a lack of confidence, wealth or good looks.

For ladies, they may be unattractive or obese and rather than accepting their failure, become modern Feminists to compensate for their lack of sex appeal and blame men for this (rather conveniently).

For others (and this represents a huge proportion of the population) they are failures because they opt not to seek help for underlying psychiatric illnesses which can be effectively treated using novel psychopharmacology.

Do you agree with my theory which may account for why at least 80% of men and women are utter failures/losers in life? Please offer reasons for why you agree or disagree with my hypotenuse (alternatively spelled hypothesis for modern Feminists who find it difficult to understand that some of us are not native speakers of English and thereby have trouble with correct spelling/syntax or usage) or are simply human and make human errors or simply find the use of spell checking systems to be worthless if our profession involves complex jargon that most spell-checking systems are confused by).

Here are some examples of those who are NOT failures/losers: Colt McCoy (Texas), M. McConaughey (Texas Alumnus), Ivy Black, Stacey Ash, Joon Mali, Lily Thai, Carly Fiorina, Michael Phelps, Lil’ Wayne, Clint Eastwood, Brad Pitt and Scarlett Johansson.

well, the good news is that we are in good company. if 80% of us are losers…..then we don’t have to feel so bad because there are more than enough of us to go around.

Where can I find the type of dark classical/opera music that influences Norwegian Black Metal?

October 23rd, 2008

I'm searching for sort of a powerful epic battle feel, similar to those that influence Norwegian Black Metal bands like Dimmu Borgir, etc. Probably a pretty far out question for a general "rock" category, but I have no idea where to start.

Start with Wagner and Stravinsky

plus Mussorgsy's Night On Bare Mountain
