I'm weak in bed with a fever today.

Please don't sodomize me in the street, Ms. Galas.

Both of those things, I'd imagine. But I see her as more Einsturzende than Nitzer.

[demonrail666]

Yeah but Neubauten are another one. As much as I like them I do inevitably think of the 80s. They're like Bang & Olufsen, or cans of Top Deck.

[Glice]

I think it almost certainly proves you right that I have no idea what either of those things are.

[Toilet & Bowels]

I often day dream of making Diamanda Galas put her money where her mouth is.

Here's something from the internet that made me laugh:

Superfan Gordon Gilbey-Burnett has been rockin the music scene since before rubber hit the road. Among other things, he claims to have given David Crosby his first line of coke. He also says that he was drawn into rock & roll initially as a child clairvoyant. But one person didn't want to listen. "I told the Big Bopper, I said 'Bop, don't get on that plane', recounts Burnett, 'I gotta funny feelin about this"! In the mid 70's he had a short lived band, Habeas Corpuscle, who never got around to playing live or even recording, which has left Burnett bitter, yet reflective. "I have forgotten more about music than you'll ever know"! boast's the Geeg after a few negroni's. And who knows, maybe he's right. For the past few yrs, Burnett has been frantically buying & trading contempo outsider releases, amassing a gigantic collection of New Weird America tapes, cdr's, cd's, lp's, lathe cuts, 10"ers, 7"ers, 3"ers, roll calls, et al. If you fall under that umbrella of sound, chances are he's got yr shit. "I have separated them into 2 camps" he explains, "DC & Marvel. For instance, band's like Wolf Eyes or Hair Police, they're DC. Matt Valentine, Wooden Wand, that sorta stuff is lumped into Marvel. I can't explain it. It's just easier that way." Dude, I hear ya! Presently Burnett is busy filling a notebook (in blue ink) w/the names & titles of all the music he has ever heard in his life. And in conjunction, he is also drawing charcoal illustrations of every band he can remember, whether he liked them or not. This Jukebox took place in a driveway in Camden, New Jersey.

I would LOVE to know which one.

Mine's true too.

Tell me more about your piss.

[floatingslowly]

well, for starters, it's green and smells like motor oil.

but then again, that's a little off-topic...

speaking of, what is the topic? goth girls or why I <3 teh interwebs? I have different answers involving different degrees of love/hate.

[Savage Clone]

I pretty much always prefer the topic to be in the area of Goth Girls.

[floatingslowly]

you may be happy to know that yesterday's top Walmart demographic was Goth Girls in Pony Tails with The Facially Pierced in at a close second.

Couples That Shouldn't Be Together did all their shopping last week.

I hope this helps.
