So it's a vicious circle of wankerdom, then? Wankers begetting wankers who in turn develop more wankery because they read the NME? Doesn't this raise the horrifying possibility of a wanker resonance cascade, plunging the entire earth into an overload of wankers? Something should be done.[/quote]


It's already too late..Russell Brand walks amongst us.

NME is read by wankers. Wankers who think they know about music. They think they know about music because they read the NME. To all intents and purposes, all they know about music comes from the NME.

This article exists to give them some "goth" knowledge. Lo, NME readers would actually go out and buy a "goth" album because its just not cool.

So this little article exists to help NME readers have a view on something they know nothing about.

Ignore it. Its not for us. Its for them.






Bring back Sounds....

Almost right.
As described by another friend of mine, it is written by a bunch of 16yr old indie kids whose musical knowledge comprises that which is read on wikipedia.
I bought said publication ( ) a couple of weeks back, just for the Cure cover versions CD.
In the mag there is an A-Z of goff & who was listed under "I"?
Billy Idol of course, who else?

fecking tossers.

Or even Smash Hits.
At least you got lyrics in that.

Indeed. One can in fact liken it to a black hole of music-wankerdom which is focused on the collapsed neutron star that was, at one time, known as Alan McGee.

Whether or not you blame Alan for this event horizon could depend somewhat on whether or not you blame Jesus for the Mormons.

IN THE NURSERY

Perhaps.
I was following a bit of a tenuous link with Tony James though.
I suppose at least he was in Generation X with Tony James & Tony then went on to join The Sisters.
But it's a bit "my neighbour's sister's flat mate's gold fish was once fed by....." in terms of the link.

Ah Rasputin was indeed great. But Listen to He Was Steppenwolf for pure Boney Gothicness! Actually if the NME wants really gothic songs try Bright Eyes by Art Garfunkal; Superstar by the Carpenters; The Day before you Came by Abba; I don't like Mondays by Boomtown Rats; Ghostown by the Specials etc etc. In the NME barren little world what passes for gothic is basically gloominess, a kind of absence of thought that they specialise in. I've done a couple of gothic art exhibitions in my time that have included exploding pomegranates and helicopters, something the NME and the like wouldn't really get. [/quote]

So following that direction, Eastenders & Casualty would class as Goff telly?

BTW. did the helicopters explode too, or just the pomegranates?

Yep! Ah just the pomegranites... Eastenders may have a better case than most...But I think the Cold War was gothic so what do i know. Floodland was gothic in that respect only. Too much Doc Strangelove!

has heartland done one? shall we do one?

Harvey Winston wrote:has heartland done one? shall we do one?

What, a top 20 goff tracks?

WTF do we know about goffix?

none, Steve
on HL nobody have been, was and will be *goff*

no type o? heh

Omg, that is a painful article. I still can;t get through a full page in the NME without getting incredibly angry and having to put it down.

My favourite line is the one saying Bat for Lashes *must* be Goth because of 'Natasha Khan being a major Cure fan'.

I wasn't aware that was all it took.

Oh fcuk!

I'm doomed then it seems.

I don't care, if songs/bands are considered goth or whatever, because I don't care what goth is. All these classifications are for people who take pop music (and their "knowledge" about it) much too seriously. (so basically the readers of magazines like NME)

But I didn't know These New Puritans before and it made my day.

btw: the Boney M clip is awesome.

I saw These New Puritans supporting the Horrors and Crystal Castles at some NME thingy bob I went to with a friend.

They were the worst kind of boring tripe. Can't comment on their recorded output as I just don't have one mote of desire to check it out.

I really want to rant on and on about everything wrong with that artical - but is there any need? Why preach to the choir?

Well I must admit, I like the song/video of "Elvis". The whole album (wich I listened to by now) is ... not so...
