Heartland

Did anyone see this last night? A bloody good overview from the death of punk to the death of New Romantic. Absolutely no reference to Goth at all, maybe next time?

Opinions?

The lovely Karen from Bananarama just gets better with age!

When you look back at the AIDS panic now, you see how wrong they were about how Britain would be affected.

Not to say that a lot of people didn't die; I lost a couple of friends myself. Just saying it to put the current "bird flu" panic into perspective.

Anyway, yeah, the music. I would have thought that goff would have been mentioned in this one; The Smiths and Mozza got a good few minutes, and they were approximately contemporaneous with the Sissies' heyday. Even though the chart success came more with the Floodland stuff, it's still the same few years as the Smiths last and Mozza's first albums. I dunno.

There was a feature on Goth, on the 'I ♥ The 80's' series a couple of years ago. I didn't video it, but it's bound to be repeated at some point.

Ah... I videoed that, but me mam taped over it with Corrie.
Wasn't the Hussbag one of the ones providing "insight"...?
Oh, and they mentioned the word to Siouxsie, and she recoiled in utter horror.
The Cult featured, but no Sisters as far as I can recall.

Are you surprised, given 's antipathy to the "g-word"?

Noted. I read that 'In The Reptile House...' book and the tiny fragments of direct Sisters stuff was scratched out of contemporary articles and interviews. Then view the ongoing spat with Mercer. I cannot see anyone from Baxcorp deigning to be involved in a cobbled-together tv-filler show like "I Love..."

It would've been priceless if they'd got their hands on 'im...

...he'd probably nut the interviewer before the "-th" even came out.

I've been watching the series and I had a feeling they would do maybe 1 minute on the 80s Goth Scene. Then when they mentioned Leeds I thought, "here we go!" but alas, no.

Revr'nd!

Total MILF

Didn't think The Sisters would get a mention, but watched it anyway.
