I have been hardcore neglecting this blog because it’s summer, I’m dealing with a bunch of personal crap, and I started playing music again. Two out of three ain’t bad.
The sun is starting to set earlier, which is perfect because I’m now playing bass and singing in an arty goth band and I don’t know what happens to goth bands in the sunlight. I have been attempting to channel Siouxsie Sioux because she’s like my shining star or whatever.
I made you a short Siouxsie mix. You will like it, even if you think you hate goth. Listen to the last song, Rhapsody, on headphones, top volume, lights out.
Also, I would kill to find a live video of Siouxsie and the Banshees performing Rhapsody. If anyone knows where to find this (YouTube is not coming through for me today), please share! In the meantime, stare at Siouxsie and her dudes while she gives you the chills:
I saw Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds on Lollapalooza in summer 1994. They played at 3 PM under the hot sun, thousands of alterna-teens staring at them like they were from another planet. The effect was somewhat lessened, I admit. It was still outstanding.
i miss that blog that was called Goths In Hot Weather. kind of the best idea ever…
