The Tao Of Goth

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.

Wulfstan was explaining the nature of the Tao to one of his minions, "The Tao is embodied in all music -- regardless of how insignificant," said the master.

"Is the Tao in a the music of Alien Sex Fiend?" asked the novice.

"It is," came the reply.

"Is the Tao on the CD’s by Rosetta Stone?" continued the novice.

"It is even there," said the master.

"And can the Tao be heard in the later albums of the m*****n?"

The master coughed and shifted his position slightly. "The lesson is over for today," he said.

A novice asked Wulfstan "what is the Buddha?" Wulfstan replied "Three pounds of patchouli."

(OK that's Zen not Tao but you get the idea.)

Ah, essential reading that stuff. Kudos to Simon Sexbat for that, and Aircrash Monthly and TaB and all the good quality 'zines you don't see anymore.

To what extent can the webzine replace the printed zine?

I read Nemesis To Go (which I highly recommended) and obviously do a little contribution to Dominion but am not a regular reader of any others.

I was thinking of doing a zine called "Darkrocker" just to p*ss off Dickheads

WildBillButtock's Gothip columns are always a decent laugh a similar satirical vein as ToG (although with more in jokes).

Surely there's some compromise or middle ground.
