The "Closer" syndrome

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.

I'll take a look.. I mostly like it because it has the greatest lyric ever written, "We're moving like a parallelogram".

I don't know why, but that's just the best line I've heard.

And to get back on topic, The Ramones are amazing, but every slutty scene girl in school claims to love them but have only heard Sheena Is A Punk Rocker and I Wanna Be Sedated. The latter of which I really don't like.

Put them in a Silver Machine. i.e. a car-crusher.

This is known in goth/alternative DJ speak as "The Closer Syndrome".So called because of the amount of unimaginative nobheads that come up to you during an evening and ask "Have you got that NIN track,you know I wanna f**k you like an animal?".Usually "For my girlfriend".
Now I used to really like NIN's Closer but I've now heard it/played it so many times,I now hate it with a f**king vengeance.
The same can be said for "She sells sanctuary" and "Temple of love 92".Go to any rock night and ask for any goth,guarenteed you will get those two and those two only,if any at all.
Many goth DJ's are as guilty as the punters.If I ask for some Nephilim the answer will always be "Got Preacher man somewhere I think".I f**king hate Preacher man,but feel obliged to dance to it and smile as the unimaginative tw*t DJ gives me the thumbs up sign.
Any of you lot got any tracks you really hate due to serious overplay by bands you normally love?
Closer. For my girlfriend? How very romantic. :urff:

...I'm listening to Closer by Joy Division!

But yes, Bill, It's the same dull headache I get from the 'goth' alternative' pap that goes onto them comilations cd's.

And I mean all of them.

My fellow director here got a Rock Anthems cd from his wife last week, with Tears For Fears 'Shout' on it !!

They all bug me just the same...

...I remember the rock nights at the Mayfair in newcastle, you had to dance to Preacher/TOL/Godstar, in case it was the only chance you had all night...and by dance I mean shuffle around waving your arms around like we did then., looking at the floor. :D
I was given a free 'Rock' album with 'Shout' as well.

There's some smooth operators round these parts alright.Regular Don Juan's they are.
Watching them dance to it is better still.How can any female resist the sight of their beau,pissed as a rat to actually gain enough confidence to dance,sweating and dribbling,slurring those erotic lyrics "I wanna f**k yow loike a Hanimal *Hick*".

Being the old romantic I am,I impress "Da birds" by mouthing the lyrics to the romantic classic "So what" by The Anti no-where league.If its a particuarly tasty piece of Grumbling,I'll use the classical poetry of Wayne county's "f**k off".Gets 'em wet as an otters pocket that does.
