Long overdue.. sorry Lee..

I think I have to ask you 5 questions back dont I?
well here they are just in case....

1) what are your current top 5 goth bands and current top 5 electronic bands?

Arghh.. hate questions like that..leads to all sorts of questions of defining labels and shit like that..plus it depends on the day/mood i'm in but here goes..

Goth Bands/Tunes (by which I'm taking to mean Trad stuffs)
The Horatii
London after Midnight
Inkubus Sukubus
Killing Miranda
Skeletal Family

Electronic Stuff..
Bit of a broad spectrum here...
XPQ21
Psychophile (Rather gothy.. but lots of electronics so they here!)
Miss Kittin and the Hacker
APB
FLA

2) if you were to be a door to door salesperson for scandels, what item would you most try to sell me and why?

Don't think you'd need much persuading to buy most things from there young man, but a nice PVC Nurse's outfit or something.. cos' i ain't seen seen you in drag I don't think..

3) Name the first 3 people who symbolise the 80s that you think of and what did they contribute?
Symbolise the 80's?? Hmm well, if you mean define what the 80's was like:
Thatcher-Millions unemployed
The guys from Dallas/Dynasty-Huge shoulder pads and greed
Boy George-Representative of the New Romantics, and of the drugs of choice at the time

4) how long did you go to the khouse on a regular basis before you'd had enough?
The first time!!
But seriously.. don't mind the KH now and again.. my main probs with the place are that the Air Con is shite, toilets are a nightmare, sweaty, horrid mingers everywhere pressing up against you.. and ocassionally my fear of crowds.. oh yeah, and I hate losing your friends in there, then spending half the evening trying to find them again.. *Bah!* I can live with the tunes.. but a bit of variety between the floors wouldn't go amiss, ie sticking to the remit on the flyers..

5) if you could turn one current pop star into a goth who would it be ?
Hmm.. can't think right now.. but I would love an alternative type to win one of these reality music shows..someone with REAL talent.. hey, i've got an idea for a show.. what about GOTH IDOL.. Heheehe..

So there there you go.. hope that's cleared up your queries!

No probs. I completely forgot about them.Goth Idol sounds good :) I heard they are doing a big brother type thing with a house full of goths in america soon (if it hasnt been done already). Whats the bets the most fights will occur over the bathroom? :)

Weekly shopping lists revolving round eyeliner, hairspray.. and fishnet to cover over "those harsh studio lights"..

Tasks such as "Put these 10 bands into an distinctive genre grouping, without mentioning the word goth".. "Midnight gardening".. "Developing a goth band using the only 2 goths in your provincial town"..

They could win rewards like.. hearing an hour of music each week (without which our goths shall surely fail).. There could then be endless reruns, showing highlights of dodgy dance moves, dry ice to rival Victorian Englande, and top 10's of "Oh my goth! Did he/she/it really wear that!"

Don't see our valiant goths sitting around in the daytime topping up their tans tho'! They'd have to rescedule the entire night's programming around odd sleeping patterns..

And goth forbid if they had any dressing-up tasks, or nights similar to the Leprecaun night.. christ by the time they'd got ready the night's programming would be mostly over, everyone would have not only snogged , but have intimate knowledge of each other, and the place would've been burnt to the ground by drunken goths leaving the candles burning...

Hehehehehe.. that idea's really amused me that has... :)
