I guess they are using a rock/goth type track to suggest this Robin Hood is a darker/more gothic version - which in fact, it isn't based on seeing the first 2 episodes. The best series was undoubtedly the Robin of Sherwood series, the Clannad music perfectly suited the mystical medieval time it was ...

I was wondering how many Damiens would be born. Apparently there were lots of women inducing labour before yesterday so their babies wouldn't be born on that day. Probably a good move. I wouldn't want to spend the rest of my life looking over my should worrying that some mentalist who thinks the Om...

Well, according to Timsinister, Goths are narrow-minded: it's the likelihood that the kind of mind underneath all that crushed velvet is quite narrow-minded and slow but I'm sorry, that is quite a narrow-minded response _emma_ so clearly it isn't the pre-requisite of being a goth! As I keep arguing,...

Yeah, I mean, if you ask different people what a 'goth' is you'll get different answers. Some envisage people dressed like vampires, some envisage Lord Byron types with frilly shirts and period dress, others it's people in bondage gear. The fact is, they're ALL part of gothdom. Largely, of course, y...

I can never understand why everybody on here has this problem with goths and the sisters being labelled a goth band. There's nothing wrong with gothdom or being associated with it - and let's face it, the majority of fans of the sisters were or are into gothdom to some extent or another. Of course, ...

Yes, you are using the evil Roman's distorted pronunciation of her name. History, as they say, is written by the victors.

I always heard it was Boudica (or Boudicca) pronounced Boo-dic-uh but the Romans (who ultimately defeated Boudica and were the ones to actually write about it, latin-icised it and changed it to Boudicea *Bow-dee-see-ah). "it probably should be "Boudica," which means "victory"...

Like any interview, it doesn't necessarily mean he's telling the whole truth, especially when he is being somewhat wry and playful. I don't agree with his statement that you can't make money out of touring - there'd be no point in touring if at the end they'd lost money! And with no album to promote...

I emailed the show about the change, this is the reply I received: "Sorry - last minute change as the tape box was empty in the BBC library. Hope The m*****n isn't too much of a disappointment " So someone appears to have half-inched the session! C'mon, now, hands up, who was it?! I bet it...

Hey guys, just got back from the Leeds gig, it was fantastic as far as I'm concerned. Stood about 10 rows from the front and the sound level was perfect, that vibrancy that hits you in the stomach and stays with you for days. The smoke was ever present but stayed at a pretty consistent level so you ...

Sure, proper CDs are better quality, but Vinyl was better quality than CDs but we've left them behind - CDs are going to get left behind too since we have all got used to mp3 quality and listen to everything on mp3 players!

These days, the internet is a perfect solution for bands without a record deal but a faithful fanbase. All you need to do is put up mp3 downloads and make fans pay for them via credit cards. There's hardly any overheads beyond the initial set-up, and no boxes of CDs left unsold. Sure, proper CDs are...

So, only a week away. I will definately swing by the Drydock if I can drag my brother there in time, when are people going to be there? How on earth would I recognise anyone?! Also, when is a good time to get to the gig, the ticket says 7.30 but when do the Sisters actually perform?

I'm really glad a UK-based team is through to the final I hesitate to say a British team since Arsenal are practically French - if Wenger could have his way I'm convinced he would replace every player with a French one - although of course many teams in the UK have far too many foreign players - Per...

Always loved The Cult. It's relatively simple rock n' roll, but they've done some cool tunes over the years. One of the few bands where I've liked every album, I enjoy their changes in direction, even if they don't - I really liked Ceremony, then at a gig they were basically saying it was crap and n...
