If anyone wants to get some new music on this #BandcampFriday but doesn't really know what: here's a nice sampler, packed with interesting and tasty #Goth#PostPunk#EBM stuff. And the proceeds go to relief organizations helping victims of the terrible earthquake in Turkey and Syria ->
If there is a band that absolutely defines the queer goth witch energy, then it's Kælan Mikla. :gothsparkleheart:
I've seen them live in Prague last year but their gig got cut short due to technical issues :<
Buuut they are playing at WGT this month, so I hope to see them again :3
No way, #Lexx is free on YouTube, the whole series!!
It's a delightfully odd (and grim, and funny, and horny) scifi thing from the late 90s. Highly recommend for scifi fans.
Does lots of really unique stuff, even if it's not high budget or all that. You'll see some tropes that would normally end an entire series happen in a normal episode or season ender. It's a shitty universe.
Since I was just given a free copy of their new, upcoming album, it's only fair that I talk about them here on Fedi for the first time 💗
I think I found out about this Norwegian 🇳🇴 project through post-punk.com if I remember correctly, and right off the bat I absolutely fell in love with them. Many of my gothy friends don't share this sentiment, but for me the sound of this release is just right up my alley. The post-punky, reverbed, chorused guitars mixed with the retro-hypnagogic-sounding synths (especially in "New Kind" and "Drives Me On") to me almost feel like a post-punk/vaporwave fusion - and if you know me, then you probably can tell that is just the perfect kind of stuff for my ears.
I love it so much. :gothsparkleheart: 💗
Their music disappeared off streaming recently, but they've mentioned that they plan to make a comeback sometime in the future :)
🎧 "Just Like Heaven" reminds me of one late-#80s#weekend away from #Hollywood in #LagunaBeach. The #song played in the cramped antique shop at Hotel Laguna where I was staying.
Monty, the elder gay proprietor saw I liked the music and offered to lend me his cassette. I popped it into the player in my rental, a red convertible Spider, and drove for a while, along the coast.
I've just moved across to what is probably my natural home from tech.lgbt, so I guess it's a good idea to do another #introduction post.
I'm an aging (in my 50s) #mathematician who started coming out as #trans#nonbinary only a couple of years ago. Overall this has had massive positive effects on my life -- it's never too late. Sadly I'm a little fixated on being the teenage #goth#girl that I missed the first time around -- my 13yo is not impressed.
I'm Esther, a queer, polyamorous, autistic goth lady, into electronic music, synthesizers, movies, tattoos, cooking, photography, video, and writing, among other things.
I quit a 15 year tech career and will go back to university to study psychology after recovering from burnout.
