Teen Gothic

There's a post on r/GenX about who you'd want to hang out with. Curious whom this sub would respond with as I doubt most there knew who my reply was.

For me it's always been Kevin Haskins from Love & Rockets, Tones on Tail, and Bauhaus.

I met him only briefly backstage after a mid 90s Love & Rockets show in Seattle through a connection with his wife, we talked mainly about the show and audience turn out (he was surprised people showed up). He also joked that if he'd known how long he'd have to play his parts he would have made them slower/simpler and that was 30 years ago!

What I'd really like to talk about (not interview, just hang) were his experiences in the studio recording all those amazing records over the years. That music was so formative to me, to hear about the process of writing and recording it, where his head was at creatively, and his experiences would be fascinating.

He also seems so down to earth his ego wouldn't get in the way talking to a commoner, unlike say… Andrew Eldritch.

Unfortunately I'm no longer connected with his wife's friend and I don't think David J still lives nearby in Carlsbad so the likelihood is around 0%, still it's something I think about occasionally.

Who would you hang with?

i'd really love to get into the scene in person! what are some good places around here to check out a goth show or event?

Hi I just crave for in person contacts with people who likes similar music to me.

I actually love the whole discography of Killing Joke and The Soft Moon, but I'm also crazy about several songs from: Skinny Puppy, Drab Majesty, the Cure, Asylum Party, The Danse Society, NIN, Slowdive, Joy Division, The Birthday Party, Hocico, I adore DJ sets of Alec Empire (ATR).

I said Poland because I'm already living here but I'd love to chat in English lol.
