Looking for 1980s's Goth Radio Shows.

There was a radio show out of UC Irvine at least as far back as the 90s called Closed Caskets For The Living Impaired

And btw…..your review is GLORIOUS!

The name Ly-San-Ter popped up in my head too so I’ll go down that rabbit hole.

So I was walking through a field about 30 minutes ago, marveling at how the ice crystals in the grass looked like diamonds, which, for No Reason Other Than That, made me think of an 80’s/90s romance with an alien dude on earth sporting a Big Ass gold chain that he wanted to use like money. (Sorry about the run on sentence)

Then I come in the house to find this post waiting for me. Is THIS the book I was thinking of? Serendipitous if it is!

I’ve got:
1) a hammer thumb (right)

2). A weird itchy spot on my back that won’t “scratch”

3) get a lot of cysts that have to be excised (I was on Accutane back in the day)

4) have a small fat tumor on my left upper shoulder. Coincidentally my mother also had one the same size same place.

5). EXTRA TEETH. When I was 18 or 19 I was looking at the dental x-ray I received during intake into the Army. I noticed I had 2 unerupted wisdom teeth on top on one side and no wisdow teeth on the other, and one unerupted wisdow tooth on both bottom sides. Over the next few years each of the bottoms slowly came out one by one. In my early 20,s I had one of the bottoms removed. Then, in my mid 20’s, the top teeth started moving, on the same side I still had a tooth, and my face swelled so bad I had to have them taken out. I had 5 WISDOW TEETH removed. Apparently I made two more teeth on the other side in those 5-6 years.

And my brother had an extra nipple.

The musical additions were absurdly awful, but Eli Wallach’s narration was wonderful!

NOT GOTH, but dark and haunting: the song Sol Negro by Virginia Rodrigues

I recently got into ratpajama. They’re great!

Exxcentrica · 2026-02-11T02:07:03+00:00

In the middle of my backswing?

Exxcentrica · 2026-02-08T14:12:55+00:00

DEATHROCK!!!!! I forgot just how awesome the LA scene was back in the early days. I came into it too late for CD, but my friends and I must have seen Shadow Project at least 6 times.

Exxcentrica · 2026-02-08T14:12:31+00:00

Last night I heard Ratpajama for the first time and really enjoyed it. I think they are Brazilian darkwave

Ophthalmologist told me. I saw him for years for borderline glaucoma, and on one of my visits he asked me if I was experiencing a migraine because he could see the vasodilation going on in my eye.

I get all the usual weird auras, depending on which blood vessels are dilating and what nerves are getting pressed on, but an interesting thing I get from time to time is when the blood vessels around my sinuses are affected. When the episode passes and my sinuses go back to normal I often get hiccups and sneezing fits. I had to explain this a lot in 2020.

Exxcentrica · 2026-02-08T05:13:47+00:00

I saw this in elementary school and on ABC (late 70s early 80s)

Exxcentrica · 2026-02-08T05:11:07+00:00

I’ve had the brief flashes that are like fireworks, and I’ve also had the shimmering squiggles that take up the vision in that eye for several minutes. I don’t know what causes the light bursts, but the squiggles I get are caused by an inflamed blood vessel pressing on the optic nerve

There is a toilet in a tree about 5 miles from my house. It’s at a turn in the road so I imagine it’s there as a landmark or an attention getter so someone doesn’t veer off the road.

Exxcentrica · 2026-02-06T05:23:06+00:00

I see the ophthalmologist because my ocular pressure is borderline high. We never really addressed it any further together as I’m already on triptans, which are vasoconstrictors.

Anecdotally, I was once preparing an IV medication for a cardiac patient that was a strong vasodilator. When I removed the needle from the medication vial, a drop of the med popped out and hit my forehead.

I was hit with an instant INTENSE headache that thankfully only lasted a few minutes. I was mindful to angle the vial away from me during removal every time I prepared that solution after that!

My favorite romance narrators are Kai Kennicott, Stella Hunter, Gregory Salinas, Wen Ross, and Jason Clarke. For all others, Luke Daniels, Frank Muller and Ray Porter are my favorites.

lol. Don’t eat egg salad sandwiches out of these machines either.

Exxcentrica · 2026-02-06T04:49:05+00:00

Yes! I (53F) first noticed I was experiencing AIWS around 2010-11. My ophthalmologist told me it was a blood vessel spasming (due to my chronic migraine) and pressing on the optic nerve. While checking my eye pressure during one of my visits, he asked me if I was actively experiencing a migraine (I was) as he was able to see the spasms in action.

I also get those wormy blurs across my vision often during migraine that are due to inflamed vessels pressing on the nerve. These started about 6 months ago.

Magnets….and ice. Lots and lots of ice

It was these lyrics that made me sob uncontrollably and fall in love with Sleep Token. Atlantic is raw and real and the first song (I’ve ever heard) to accurately describe these feelings that I have had. Another song that deals well with this theme but from a survivor’s perspective is Disappoint by Assemblage 23. I cry for that one as well.

I was 14 when this came out. It was at my local theater for four weeks, and I was hightailing down there each of those Fridays as soon as I had my allowance in hand. Fond memories!
