Ich war heute morgen so früh wählen, ging schnell. Meine Frau hat eben deutlich länger gebraucht und in mir wächst die Hoffnung auf ein Wahlergebnis was nicht für einen Anfall tiefster Depression sorgt. Ich gebe mir jetzt Old Ruins aber ein kurzer Moment Lunar Shadow hat mir jetzt sehr gut gefallen und ich werde da hoffentlich bald mit weniger Stress ausgiebiger reinhören. Danke für den Tipp!

So. Gerade vom Wählen zurück. Was ganz schön voll. Und jetzt, obwohl es heute in dOiTsChLaNd tendenziell eher kein #SilentSunday oder #SlowSunday ist, gibt's gefälligen und melancholisch-romantischen #HeavyMetal mit #GothRock-igen und #PostPunk-Tendenzen (und zusätzlich sanft-anschmiegsamer Twinkigkeit) ->

This band appears to occupy an overlapping set of genres that I enjoy.

40 years ago today, Killing Joke released “Love Like Blood” (1985), the second single from their fifth studio album. #80s #80smusic #gothrock #KillingJoke

The most recent Other People's Music marks the 200th piece of music covered in this series, and as usual, there's some good stuff to be heard! Lovely folk, minimal ambient, dramatic goth rock, downtempo breaks, and experimental electronics await you! Read it all here:

Montage Monday | The Boys Next Door/Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds/Fontaines D.C.

Today’s spotlight is the first in a new series called “Montage Monday”, where the spotlight may be brief, possibly even silly, but is packed with a lot of music. Because, sometimes, you need a montage (montage!).[1] And, also, we still have like 950 more albums to get through, and Mondays are hard.

So, for our first Montage Monday, we’re going to cover 43 years of rock of the punk/goth persuasion across 3 bands from 3 land masses. And, each title is directly linked to its Bandcamp/Songlink, in case you want to just jump straight in and forego the montage completely. Ready?

The Boys Next Door – Door, Door (1979, Australia)[2] / Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds – Let Love In (1994, Australia/Europe)[3] / Fontaines D.C. – Skinty Fia (2022, Ireland)[4]

In 1973, Nick Cave and some Melbourne schoolmates formed a band that would eventually become a four-piece group (with Mick Harvey, Phill Calvert, and Tracy Pew) known as The Boys Next Door. Starting largely as a punk cover band, after Rowland S. Howard joined, their sound changed to some sort of gloriously eclectic post-punk, and they released one absolutely brilliant album, Door, Door.

The band then left Australia for London, changed their name to The Birthday Party, wrote some goth songs about vampire sex and rats, did a lot of drugs, and met Blixa Bargeld from that German industrial band with the unpronounceable name. The band broke up in 1983 but essentially resurrected as Nick Cave and the Cavemen, soon renamed Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. A few girlfriends, albums, and countries later, we were gifted the wonderfully moody Let Love In, whose side A closer “Red Right Hand” would become the theme song for the brilliant TV series, Peaky Blinders (2013-2022).

Among other things, Peaky Blinders – a British period drama set between WWI and II – is known for its spot-on use of anachronistic songs, including a lot of Nick Cave. One influence on the soundtrack was none other than the show’s star Cillian Murphy, a former musician with impeccable taste in music. Murphy must not have had enough influence on the soundtrack though, because one of his favorite bands, fellow Irishmen and goth/punk rock band Fontaines D.C., clearly got shafted by being left off all six seasons. Like, maybe the timing didn’t work for something from Skinty Fia to be included in the final season, but they already had a couple other albums that could’ve been drawn from. And they essentially carry on the spirit of the early days of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds but, you know, in an Irish way. So, wtf?! Perhaps to fully explore such a travesty, we should go back to the beginning of anti-Irish sentiment in Britain. In this essay I will…

28/x.

I also enjoyed this rather classic #DeathRock / #GothRock album from Leipzig. Good ol' Batcave vibes, spiders, bats, headstones and so on. Also sounds like it was recorded during the gloomy heyday of Goth in some sketchy London studio ->
