Teen Gothic

I'm back, baby!

Why was I gone? My laptop died and I had to use my DJ laptop to web browse until my new desktop PC arrived. I was able to access everything except my reddit account on the DJ laptop as reddit refused to acknowledge my backup codes on that or the mobile app. Set up the new PC, entered a backup code, worked first time. No idea why.

If you saw someone commenting as funmembership-somethingsomething that was me. Auto-generated usernames are weird.

Anyway… I'm sure you all have things to get off your chest or complain about so have at it!

I just got home from City Record Club and the Save The Cranker Rally. I didn't play a single goth song today though you could argue a couple are close. Love and Rockets So Alive single? Nope, I played the B side – Bike! And that sounds like some sort of weird blues/jazz/rock thing. Plus rock, techno, post punk, new wave, disco and a Yamaha 70s organ rendition of Popcorn. -10 goth points me.

The rally was a death march to Parliament House and onto the Crown and Anchor Hotel itself. And I stopped at a record store on the way. But what did I buy? $ 2 bargain bin K-Tel compilations for a Record Club set I'm calling "The worst sounding vinyl set ever" using nothing but K-Tel compilations.

6 hours on my feet mostly on concrete. My feet want to disown me, my back aches, I was getting stabbing pains in my leg and I have a pain in the diodes down my left side.

But we got word the planned demolition has been voided by the state premier so the pub is saved! The best alternative/live music venue in the city is here to stay.

How are you doing?

It's that time of the week again everyone. Time to expel those demons and force them onto all the readers right here. Will there be rage? Probably. Will there be sympathy? Possibly. Will you feel a little better after getting your ails out? Sure, why not.

THE SCREAM OF THE GOTH WILL RISE LIKE A MOTH! OH YEAH!

Bring out your dread!

*ding!*

Bring out your dread!

*ding!*

Bring out your dread!

*ding!*

…I've no dread! I don't want to go on the cart.

*looks in r/goth for 5 seconds, gets in the cart*

Bring out your dread!

*ding!*

Bring out your dread…

Got a gothic gripe? Managing a migraine induced by life's awfuil obstacles? Tired of ignorant people assuming they are an expert about everything even when they know nothing? Is the internet being the internet again?

Complain away!

(As you can see we're going a little more official though I plan on still doing the weekly post custom as I have since before I was a moderator here)
