Hugo Burnham is a much better drummer than I am a drum machine programmer. So I keep most of the drum patterns pretty minimalistic and moody.

Not really, I don't really have anything to sell. I enjoy playing infront of my friends, who all have pretty strong punk roots. Although when some outsider comes to a show and asks me if I've ever heard of MBV and JAMC it tickles me a bit. I don't know why my friend told me I sounded like P.I.L. I really don't hear it.
If I wanted to get the Hot Topic crowd, I'd say I was hardcore, and then proceed to play really loud emo with no dynamics.
I was a "gothic" girl's date as a favor to her friends once. I didn't find her all that interesting. It seems to me that everyone who calls themselves "goth" like manson, cure, doors, depeche mode, ministry, NIN, and KMFDM put on some eyeliner and slutty clothes and cut themselves across the highway.
I like and I am influenced by music that is referred to as gothic- Bauhaus, Joy Division, Tones on Tail, Birthday Party, but I'm not going to prance around in stupid outfits and try to kill myself constantly.
This reminds me I have to change the genre title from alternative/goth/shoegaze to ambient/post-punk/noise-rock or something like that. I chose the genres before any of the songs were fully arranged, and they seemed to be taking a different direction until they were complete.
