RAY: i’m trying to catch up on the gothic music scene
BRIAN: yeah? is it a moving industry?
RAY: well, i’m about 3 years behind
BRIAN: maybe there should be a newsletter for the industry
BRIAN: “state of the art in goth music”
RAY: heehee
RAY: they try doing that
RAY: but nobody buys it
RAY: and it’s hard to make new content
RAY: issue one: “we are spoooky”
RAY: issue two: “drinking blood!”
RAY: issue three: “why we are spoooky”
RAY: issue four: “BDSM LEATHER DRUGZ SEX BUY-ME-PLEASE”
RAY: then it goes away
BRIAN: ha ha
RAY: it’s true

This is a highly fragmented sub-culture and it has never really held together as a music genre–though Rasputins has made a good try at organizing a cd section.
The only “recent” music I’ve heard pegged as Goth was the USA reissue of Wolfsheim’s “Spectator” but I really don’t care for that sort of thing.
When I was a teen I was alway’s bummed that goth music didnt follow the punkier sounds of early Wire. I guess they don’t brood enough.
Tune in to Mon Ami’s show on KALX. I think it airs Friday afternoon. She spins mostly goth and is probably plugged into whatever the cool kids are listening to these days.
