Quote from: Sacha8 on Today at 16:26:51Sounded more like sth he did to promote the music of those who remixed SOALW than anything...

Some of them anyway...

Right now it's Mogwai with 1990-1996, started with "This Twilight Garden"! 

Then I guess I listened to the wrong bit, if you found Joy Division's Transmission and The Cure's Hanging Garden in the mix...

I listened to the programme for a while myself, but honestly wasn't impressed by the choice of tracks (apart from Mogwai's Haunted by a freak, and the track coming bf that whose title unfortunately I can't remember now...). Sounded more like sth he did to promote the music of those who remixed SOALW than anything...

Can't record it, just listening in now (for a short while), heard "Transmission" and now "Hanging Garden" (apparently it's "Cosmodelica" who is on right now)...

Watch out on the net, I can imagine it'll show up on youtueb or somewhere.

Anybody planning to record the show? Or will it be available for later?

Got to say, I used to like Joy Division (back in the late 80s, when I first heard them) and their sound is to me the "starting point" of typical "gothic rock". However nowadays I hardly ever listen to them or other "typical" goth any more... 

David Byrne is touring! Found out today + secured my ticket! A great seat too ...centre, about row 10, should be ideal!  Should be an interesting show    So glad to see him live, will be my first time.

He announced lots of dates, across US, Europe and Australia/NZ ...so if anyone else here is a fan ...look it up!! His website gives the presale code (by clicking on the concert date you want to attend).

I've just read a comment on Bandcamp today about the revival the Goth scene is experiencing right now: the person writing this comment basically said that, as we live in very dark times with wars and dictatorships shamelessly going on under our very eyes and we feel helpless, perhaps listening to dark music is the only way out to let this misery go away - apart from political action with protests and active resistance, that is (this is my personal add to the comment). I wonder if anyone here agrees. Certaintly, when I first listened to SOALW, and "Alone" in particular, I felt all of this, and I thought such songs were needed now more than ever, because they speak about the here and now, despite ostensibly talking about something else, and something very personal like ageing, disillusionment and so on. Yet, given the fact that the aforementioned Goth revival is happening also because people in their 50s and 60s (70s too) are going back to their roots to make sense of what happened in their lives, what mattered and what didn't, how music affected their choices (I know this has been happening to me since SOALW came out), aren't most of us experiencing that same disillusionment and ageing RS has expressed so beautifully in the record? Isn't this Goth revival a way to come to terms with ageing too, and to honour what we've been, what we've learned, in order to understand how to move forward despite the world burning? To honour death, should it knock on our doors - and it did, twice, for me, in the last few years. I also lost my parents, and though we weren't close, their death affected me more than I can say. I'll leave it at that.
