I picked up a nice compilation album at a boot sale yesterday morning called Absolution : Rock The Alternative Way.
Has The Cure, The m*****n, Killing Joke, The Wonder Stuff, Echo & The Bunnymen, Siouxie, Gene Loves Jezebel, Bauhaus, The Jesus And Mary Chain, All About Eve, The Stranglers, Depeche Mode, The Psychedelic Furs, The Creatures, The Damned, The Ramones, Fields Of The Nephilim and NMA. Some of the same songs as the album above.
Not bad for a quid!
Think I'll still buy a copy of that one though!

the ad is very funny - some goth chap poncing about in his bedroom, the walls full of sisters and cure posters... snippets of songs playing - and he changes his outfit to look like the type of goth that would like the song playing at that time - ie: hussey/fat bob/etc etc
very funny - and the sisters logos are plastered all over the walls!
am sure von would hate it though
why do they alsways choose "never take me alive"? "rainmaker" and "liberator" are far better tunes and much better dance-floor stomp-a-thons
goth revival? you betcha

'The Dark Side of the 80s'.
Eh?
half the songs aren't even remotely 'dark', and many aren't even from the 80s!
There's a lawsuit there somewhere
And am I the only one who thinks that the jingly jangly indie pop of The Las, Billy Bragg and House of Love are completely out of place?

You can keep your Krishna burger's, and your Glastonbury hippie's, you can stick your frothy lager and your blow wave hair styles.
Ok. We have in poland some kind of list, top 40. It going week by week from a 23 years. It is the older radio broadcast of that kind and it goes on channel 3 of polish radio. And maybe 3-4 years ago they realized a cd's from every year of existance with the great number ones. And if I remember well, Sisters was with This Corrosion in 1989 or something in companion with many different bands. It can be bought in shop in poland and it isn't a bootleg at all. Uffff Thanks a lot everybody. Good Night.
long live rock'n'roll
Yeah, I think Billy Bragg will be surprised to find out he has a 'dark side' too...especially given the song, which is just a shiny happy call for sexual toleration - and there's even a very eighties safe sex message in there - don't tell me, condoms are gothic...

I noticed that the aforementioned "dark" CD is now at number 22 in the ASDA uk chart...(well you have to shop somewhere!).
....course I didn't buy it....weird mix of stuff as discussed before, and how many copies of Dominion and This Corrosion do you need

I heard that "Disney" hold the movie rights and that the director "Jay Roach" (of Austin Powers fame) was on board - and the much missed Dougie Adams had finished the script, with Roach contributing, just before his untimely death - 2 years ago!Zuma wrote:Hey Lars, keep hearing the odd rumour about a Hitch Hikers movie - heard anything yourself.....?
BTW - Douglas Adams passed away whilst training at the "Gym" - that being the case at least "He Knew Where His Towel Was"
