My halo's got a hole in it so it don't keep me dry

There are a few things I want to know. So here they are, all collected into a big, fat poll whose questions bear little relation to each other.


[Poll #350986]


Irrelevant comment: LJ should make the 'current music' field bigger, for those of us who listen to albums with long titles.

This poll seemed to close awfully quickly.

Would you ever... do the New Model Army-fan wrist-thingy?

I have done, on many an occasion in my dim and distant past, but only to NMA. These days I might not, on account of hom I might look like an old bloke trying to recapture his yout (sic.).

Who would you consider to be the archetypical trad goth band

Despite Eldritch's claims that they are not, and never have been a goth band, I consider The Sisters Of Mercy to be the number one, full marks, genuine trad goth band. And probably ' First And Last And Always' to be the definitive goth album.

Name any other archetypical trad goth bands which spring to mind

The Mission
The Fields of the Nephilim
Corpus Delicti
The Marionettes
Rosetta Stone (early, when they were trying to be The Sisters)
Siouxsie and The Banshees (some)
March Violets
Children on Stun (early)
Bauhaus
Christian Death
Gene Loves Jezebel
Alien Sex Fiend
Dream Disciples
Nosferatu

However, it now occurs to me that I don't know what, exactly, you mean by 'trad'. So I've just gone with all the old bands, which includes some pretty punky stuff. Anything before the shift to industrial.

What's the best way to kill a ghoul?

Swiftly.

you'll have to manually extrude them

I'm not that sort of girl, y'know.

Am I the only one who finds this incongruous?

[venta.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure it was particularly congruous. Just appeals to my inner Barry Cryer.

(Or if you just meant the bit I cited - that was from a comment _Corpse_ left in his answer to the poll question about other archetypical bands.)

Doh! Should have thought of that...
