NME "GOTH" Magazine

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

The Cure I can see, whinge-wise, but still!
Just kidding, my Queen.

Don't know much about the whole 'emo' scene, but I gather it just ain't rock'n'roll...

Perhaps this marks the difference between 'Goth' as a wider genre and 'Gothic Rock' as a sub-group within the genre.

Where's Mick Mercer when you need him....

:eek: :oops: Aaaarrrgggh! No, I don't, I don't either... really! Seriously!! Only the stuff which has been rammed down my throat as I trawl through the music channels praying for the "Fire Woman" video. :roll: :wink: Maybe at 20 I'm still hip and young enough for this sort of thing to register on my radar - having said that there's really no excuse for anyone over the age of 10 taking it seriously.

It doesn't take long to work it out - take 4 or 5 grotesque failures of evolution, give 'em some grubby t-shirts and pudding-bowl haircuts, get one to hold the mic earnestly with both hands and make like he's having a stomach cramp or an epileptic fit, and scream about how your parents did you wrong the time they made you go to bed at 9 o'clock because you swore at them.

You're not missing anything, trust me.

its not the regular issue - its a glossy magazine "special" (costs about 6 quid)

the "borders" in leeds have loads of copies in, so i would imagine most borders stores will ;)
But we don't HAVE a Borders in Lincoln. We have a WH Smiths and about a million newsagents for magazines, an Ottakars for books and that's about it.

I found a copy in WH Smith's. And then got the normal NME, because it had loads about John Peel in it.

I don't live on the Ermine, I live in south Lincoln. And I'm not old enough to go out drinking. Legally. :innocent:

LMAO! Nope I don't - but my youngest son lives with his Dad on Ermine West. I drive past the Imp almost daily but have never set foot in it. Must say the imp looks very fetching in his painted St George flag vest.

Yer not a 'yellow-belly' yerself are you Snowey? :lol:

No I am not from Lincoln. I have some mates who lived in the road behind "The Imp". One of them worked in the Imp and it was a case of "Are you local" when we went in to meet her one day.

That pub is was as rough as a bears arsehole. :D

Luckly they managed to get a house nearer the town centre.

It's a nice cathedral. My school has o have all it's end-of-term concerts there, so it's associated in our minds as "evil".


I personally wnjoy going to town early, and sitting on one of the benches on Steep Hill, writing and sketching.

Lincoln Cathedral is ace and I could/try to spend hours and hours there.

It still 'gets' me driving over Pelham Bridge and just looking up to see it dominate the skyline.

You're school has their end of term concert there..hhmmmmn a Minster bod?

No, but if you want a specific week, I will phone my dad to go up the loft for one. Anytime from 89 onwards. It was John Peels fault, he made me buy them :roll:

Thank, QB, got it today :notworthy:
And it seems far more interesting I could expect :wink:
Really nice issue, I mean. I'll continue reading it right after logging out from here (and please don't talk about the real life today) :)
