Dance to the sound of sirens

[mrph]

So, I'm DJing at the Calling (Cambridge) on May 13th. What should I play?

All suggestions welcome, but not necessarily heeded. :)

I dunno. Maybe 'Theremin' by Covenant? ;)

Vampire Beach Babes, obviously!

BTW, I've been hassling Marcus for some copies of the no-longer-new single.

*cough* Rome Burns? *cough* ;)
Did we give you a copy of our latest demo?

Tori Amos - Raspberry swirl (goth mix) or, failing that Enjoy the silence.

Truant.

Descendants of Cain? Can't think what specifically, bu they have one or two that are danceable. War of Ages, perhaps.

I think it would make a great playlist :)
Get a bit of theme going.

Why use the overplayed songs? Playing songs by goths (or not), about
goths, will get you there just as quickly. To wit:

Belisha - People of the Dark
The Awakening - The Dark Romantics
The Coffinshakers - Pale Man in Black
Zombina & the Skeletones - Horror High School
Manuskript - Plastic Fangs
Beautfiul Deadly Children - Gothic Sex Machine
Killing Miranda - Teenage Vampire or Discotheque Necronomicon
Penis Flytrap - Cemetery Girl
Audra - In All Our Androgyny
Cramps - Sheena's In A Goth Gang
The Damned - Grimly Fiendish
Echo & The Bunnymen - Nocturnal Me
Action Pact - Gothic Party Time
Brickbats - Too Many Vampires
Marc Almond - Satan's Child
Vampire Beach Babes - Gothic Surf-a-Rama
Thou Shalt Not - If I Only Were A Goth

Belief by Sign Langauge (1985:Fire Records)
Psyche - Killing Joke
Into the Garden - Artery
Paranoid - Alec Empire

Which set are you? If you're on first, play things I should have heard but won't have. If you're on second, play things you introduced me to that I've liked. ~smile~

Glad you'll be there again. ~hugs~

Audra - In All Our Androgyny

Oh yes. Audra are fab!

Dead Souls Rising Sin
All about eve flowers in your hair
Die Laughing Safe little world

I've been told I musn't point you at this.

So I won't.

If you want something dead obscure but really bassy and early gothic-ish....
Try to find an early 80s album called Fabrique by 'Fashion'. Its kind of a combination of goth+funk,
a sort of goth Level 42!!

[mrph.livejournal.com]

Yep, although I'm still on the scrounge for a copy of Swoon... (if only so that I can play your version of Dusted some time...).

And yep, I was vaguely thinking about playing some RB (Empty Samsara?) @ the Calling...

[mrph.livejournal.com]

Hmm. Not heard any Die Laughing in a long time, and I have most of it on CD...

That's got me thinking now. SLW is good (and has the Gothic Rock 2 factor going for it), but so are a few of the others...

[nevla.livejournal.com]

I'll ask the boy Daevid if he can get a Swoon for you when i see the guys tonight...

Indeed, it was the only song I could think of quickly.
