Teen Gothic

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?

As someone who isn't able to get out to experience the club scene, works on an ambulance to support a family of four, and is too isolated to go to bigger cities this has been my "local scene" since I joined the sub. Most of the people I've talked to has been friendly and welcoming (it wouldn't be a proper scene without a few oddballs.) I've found some of my new favorite albums from you guys and I couldn't be more thankful for it.

We added a new rule a couple of weeks ago to coincide with a rather big Reddit change.

14. Blocked By Ban Evasion

Reddit detects and auto-remove posts from accounts who are connected to banned accounts. If you have been caught out attempting to get around being banned with a new account or you have been caught out by having an alternate account that got banned, your posts will remain removed and we may ban any connected accounts too.

​

Reddit implemented this change to reduce trolling and griefing via alternate accounts and to make bans from subreddits stick. So far we have caught two different people under this change using multiple accounts where one was banned. Posts caught like this are automatically filtered by Reddit so only the moderators can see them.

So if you use an alt to harass people and think your main account will get away with it, please reconsider if you don't want to be banned from r/goth completely.
