In memory of Ian Curtis, who suffered from both epilepsy and depression, took his life on May 18, 1980, on the eve of Joy Division's first North American tour, and just before the release of their second album
Das 31. Wave-Gotik-Treffen findet am Wochenende in Leipzig
statt. Ich war noch nie dort, fahre auch in diesem Jahr nicht hin, dafür gibt es ein WGT-Special beim #GothDiscoInferno.
Ich habe mir 36 Bands herausgepickt, die beim WGT auftreten werden. Dabei sind neue Künstler und auch einige alte Bekannte.
Too much cool new shit, that's my favorite luxury problem and it's what the past few weeks had in store, so a C-90 won't suffice this time. That, and also i totally had to add a ten-minute tune to the tracklist because why the fuck not? Dial A for fuzzed-out depravity and general mayhem. B for egg-ish dementia, quirky and forbidden fun and games for the whole family. C for darkness, death and despair. D for some beeps & bloops, followed by hits, hooks and melodies.
Happy Birthday to David Byrne, Scottish-American musician, founding member, lead singer and guitarist of the American band Talking Heads, born on this day in 1952, Dumbarton, Scotland
"In a Big Country" is a rousing anthem by Scottish rock band Big Country. Released in 1983 as part of their iconic debut album 'The Crossing', the song's driving guitars and bagpipe-inspired sound evoke images of wide-open landscapes. Its lyrics paint a vivid picture of life in a vast and rugged land.
Gdy ci smutno, gdy ci źle, kiedy wszystko nudzi cię... zawsze z pomocą nie zawiodą "japońskie dziwactwa". A przynajmniej tak jest na ogół w moim przypadku.
Jakim cudem nie trafiłem nigdy wcześniej na Fiction? Nie mam pojęcia. Stojąca na jego czele Lucifer Luscious Violenoue zdaje się być fascynującą osobą: oprócz muzyki stworzyła np. mangę z sobą w roli głównej, w której zakochuje się w swoim wampirzym doppelgangerze.
Ich jedyny album "Lucifer to iu na no Oningyō" to przepuszczony przez filtr visual kei 90sowy gotyk z pewną postpunkową surowością łagodzoną przez różnorodne klawisze i śpiewność języka japońskiego. Zresztą już na okładce w tle widoczny jest plakat "Burning from the Inside" Bauhausu, jest też cover The Passion of Lovers - nie wzięło się to z niczego.

For years I tried to find a song that was released exactly the day I was born. At some point I saw the date on this song, but different sources disagree on the exact date. At least I can say more or less sure that this song was first ever released in a time frame of +/- 5 days around the day I was born.
Sehr geile Liste und Überblick (Bruchteil) über ne ziemlich gute Energie im Bereich #postpunk, #punk, #wave und #garage in Deutschland. Auch ein paar persönliche Bekannte auf der Liste. 👍🏼
Sehr guter YouTube Channel in dem Genre im übrigen. Abo dalassen. @punk
Bob Fartblossom, aka Bob Durkee, was a kind of local underground celeb where I grew up. After putting out releases from his own band (Pillsbury Hardcore) he started his own label and put out bands like Justice League, Three Day Stubble, and Subculture. I’d buy pretty much anything on the label in the mid to late 80s.
This has become a bit of a novelty item since it’s Dave Grohl’s first band.
Comes with glossy fold-out insert with photos, and “thanks” list, a postcard, and the text "David Grohl destroys Tama drums exclusively” in the lower left corner.
Also, engraved on one side's runoff is the message "Everything Matters" while on the other side is etched "Time Doesn't Matter".
