About

Hello, I haven't updated my profile in a while ... Well, not much to say, I'm a university student (BA English) and I'm still working as a chef. *sighs* Other than that life is good.

Hehe, last shows I went to were in October. Went to a bunch then! Saw Echo & the Bunnymen, Emilie Autumn, Treasure Island festival (Beirut, Grizzly Bear, Decemberists, Flaming Lips, etc), my friend's Vernian Process, and a deathrock festival with Gitane Demone, Kommunity FK, and some locals. Was fun!

Sometimes I walk to a baseball field down the road thats near the top of a mountain and just watch the lights from the business district below and the horizon. But I'm also usually listening to the Smiths when I feel like going there so I'm generally in a less optimistic mood whenever I sit on the bench.



That actually doesn't sound bad at all, at least not as bad as I would have imagined. English and History were my favorite subjects in school, but reading and writing about ye olde literature didn't entice me and I don't know what I could really do with a History degree besides become a teacher or maybe a curator, neither of which really strike me as something I want to do. My college is pretty bland though, I have almost nothing in common with anyone mentally, let alone musically. User Image

Sometimes the mountains can be really beautiful, especially in the morning when the fog sets in, but I'm in the middle of nowhere and I miss living in the city, so when I'm not at work or school I just chain smoke and listen to music or watch tv. Plus I don't know anyone, so after 15 weeks it gets pretty lonely.



Do you have to write 20,000 word theses (sp?) on the works of shakespear and other stuff like that?

Yeah, I definetly wouldn't have gotten in an argument. While they weren't goth rock they set a mood and played an important role in the eventual explosion of the scene throughout the 80's, though more often than not I generally consider post-punk as a more socially acceptable term for goth rock.



I'm majoring in Graphic Design in Pennsylvania, just outside Pittsburgh. I'm in my second-quarter right now, only going for an associate's degree though. With the way things are looking I'm not sure if I'll qualify for loans to finish though, but I'm going to get as far as I can.

I actually just moved to where I am now not too long ago for college, and I've only heard of one goth club called the Pegasus, its a gay bar with goth nights every Wednesday. The onyl problem is I usually have to work, and because its a bar I can't get inside. But I have a friend who went and they said it was pretty good, one of her friends almost got in a fight with some guy when Love Will Tear Us Apart came on and some guy freaked out and said Joy Division isn't goth. Apparently those are fighting words.



But I'm content with just having the music to listen to, and a place like the goth rock thread to chat with people since all of my friends are about 2 1/2-3 hours away.

I hate banks and I never feel like dealing with the load of crap that comes with setting up a paypal account, though I'd really like to so I can buy cd's and merch from ladecay.com. I generally favor a DIY ethic but I can't paint at all and some of the things ladecay has I can't help but want to buy.

I've found some things at local record shops I never expected to, Only Theatre of Pain - Christian Death, Close One Sad Eye - Kommunity FK, Sleep In Safety - .45 Grave, Song and Legend - Sex Gang Children, Death Church - Rudimentary Peni, obviously mostly deathrock and batcave but still good music to my ears. Lately I've been in more of a mood for post-punk and early goth rock but surprisingly most of that stuff is rarer than deathrock and batcave. User Image





Bauhaus, the Cure, Joy Division, and the Smiths (not goth oriented but still a personal favorite) are easy to come by, but Siouxsie, Nick Cave, Gloria Mundi, Dead Flowers and other bands of the earlier scene are much harder to locate. I'm saving up now for a laptop and an ipod so I can get all of my music back, but its going to take a long time.

It would be cool if they did, though I'd never get to see them either way. I haven't updated it in awhile, I'm not even sure whats there anymore though it could only get bigger.



When I'm not in class or at work I'm usually on the internet listening to and looking for new music that I like, and sometimes one thing leads to another and I find something I really like. Before my mp3's hard drive crashed I'd just spend a ton of time looking for downloads of an appealing band, but now all I can do is listen on the computer and cross my fingers that something good gets shipped in or traded at the record shop.

Really? Thats different. But yeah, I've been a fan of them since I first heard Teenage Kicks when I was about 14.



I guess you live somewhere in the UK or Ireland then.
