mrphToday's question: Is the UK goth scene broken? And, if so, just what changes d'you think would be needed to fix it?
Yes, I know this is a can of worms. But I'm curious to see what people think. This is mostly sparked by Uncle Nem's excellent Leipzig piece and the LJ comments it triggered.
(Now that you've lured him to Leipzig, can we drag him to M'era Luna next year,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
chimera_s? I'd quite like to see a similar write-up on that, a very different kind of German festival...).

But... I do go hunting for mp3s (preferably, but not always, official ones) before festivals and the like, when I want some idea of what a band sounds like - to help me decide whether to go, to help me decide who to see (especially at things like Leipzig, where there are so many options but no info about each band on the festival site....) or just so that I know a few of the songs before I go see them. I'm not the only person who does this, either.
As a promotional tool, I do think they have their uses.
