Being the bright spark I am I decided to alphabetically sort my 7" vinyl records. I started this around 3:30pm. For reference sake the Soothing Sunday post usually posts around 4:30pm for me. I just finished sorting them and it is nearly 9:30pm.

So I am late with this week's thread, my fingers feel smooth from all the dust/old records and I am thirsty as hell.

A few fun facts I learned along the way.

• I have more 7" records for bands with the words "black" or "die" in their band names than expected.
• Out of all I have more Sisters of Mercy 7"s than anything else. Second place is Toto Coelo.
• My collection of "novelty" and parody singles is becoming quite large and there is still so much more to get.
• I need to buy so many 7" plastic sleeves and some new paper ones too

And I still have my 12" records and CDs to go. I have decided the CDs can be skipped.

You may now complain about how late today's post is.

Hi! I’m planning to dress up as Peter Murphy for halloween (my friend is going as Daniel ash) I’m a girl but I thought of combing my hair back (it’s short and black) but I don’t know what to wear, does anyone have ideas that are typical for Peter Murphy? Thanks!

this song is very intricate

there is the continuos guitar riff, with the vocal line, and then on top of that is a little piano line faintly in the background. on top of the bass. and at occasionally i think there's even another guitar going over the main guitar riff as well.

the whole this is harmonious and is a very well constructed song. i can't seem to point out any dissonant notes, even if there are any.

With the OG punks they used pva glue and gel but what did the OG goths use. They most likely used hairspray and an old comb right? I feel like there must've been more primitive ways. I'm asking because hairspray doesn't really work with my hair.
