British poet Murray Lachlan Young takes a lyrical look at the shadowlands of Goth and the Gothic.

He's joined in the studio by music journalist and presenter Andrew Collins to talk in depth about this genre that spawned out of a post punk world.

Just heard the trailer & Temple Of Love happened

edit: Steve Lamacq is also doing The Goth World Cup every afternoon at 4pm GMT next week

Jeepers, Murray Lachlan Young! there 's a name I haven't heard in a long while. Bought his poetry album back in the day. Think it was really enjoyable if I remember correctly. Never thought of him as really goth though I could be mistaken.

For those on twitter, 6Music are asking for track suggestions for the Goth World Cup.
Also on farcebook

Have at it folks

My word!
Just look at what they're playing

So now we have to register for BBC online?!

For the radio you don't need to register. You just need flash.
I use the tunein app on my TV so it pipes out of the hifi.

I'm working on the PC so was listening through that and there was no getting past registration!
I couldn't be bothered to faff around so just registered!

Well, I guess if you've registered, then (if you're in the UK) you can also see the video content

Yeah, i sometimes watch iplayer on the PC so it will come in handy, must be a new thing they are bringing in.
Next thing you'll need to enter your TV license to watch! Big Brother is watching!

If The Sisters win this round, you never know.
But The Cult seems to be steam rollering them this round

Front runners in round 2 are:

Bauhaus – Bela Lugosi’s Dead (with a lead of 10% over Lucretia My Reflection)
The Cure – The Hanging Garden
Killing Joke – Wardance
The Cult – She Sells Sanctuary

Still time to vote though

General consensus seems to be The Sisters would win if it was a song from FALAA, as it's not, they are going for Bauhaus!

In fairness, Bela Lugosi's Dead is about as goth as it gets.

Yeah! I don't really know all that much about Goth music, but even i would pick that Bauhaus track if someone asked me to quote something goth!

Well, The Sisters lost out

Semi final 1

Semi final 2

My heart lies with Wardance but I've never thought of Killing Joke as 'goth'
