[Sir Diddimus]

OMG, of wait, that's me, anyway......

Look, Fink finally decided to join us again!!!! Yay!!!!
Don't forget to bring Dark Elf with you........

[skar23]

I take it this is not a remotely gothic music kinda place / crowd?
my gothic music choices are clearly stated here:
http://www.knoxgothic.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1057

so my more top 40 ish 80's choices would be:


blondie - dreaming - - utah saints mix
ABC - be near me
clash - train in vain
bill nelson - flaming desire
b-52's - planet claire
bronski beat - why? or smalltown boy
erasure - chains of love 12' mix
depeche mode - everything counts - meat beat manifesto mix
madonna - into the groove
bowie - ashes to ashes or lets dance
new order - round and round or vanishing point
porno for pyros - pets
prince - computer blue or kiss or esp. erotic city

if you could fit any of that in it would make my evening.....

thanks for the ear.....

[Jack]

Camper Van Beethoven, "Take the Skinheads Bowling".

Sonic Youth, "Dirty Boots".

Iron Maiden, "Aces High".

Public Enemy, "Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos".

Talking Heads, "Burning Down the House".

[Deucalion]

This probably won't win me popularity points, but since it's the Fourth of July I think it would be appropriate to play a patriotic tune or two. I'd love to hear Ray Charles' America the Beautiful [which I'll probably have with me if needed] and/or the Jimi Hendrix guitar solo rendition of The Star-Spangled Banner.

And some Dead Kennedys after that, preferably California Uber Alles or Pull My Strings.

Good to see you, Fink. Quite the ghoulish avatar you've got there.
