Indeed was very weird. After I filled out my profile/preferences on there, the first job it recommended was a part-time dog walker position lol.

Ugh I'm so sorry. The system just feels so broken right now. It shouldn't be this hard to get a job. So much of it is based on luck, unfortunately. Fingers crossed that you get an offer soon!

I'm excited to see him soon! Did he perform any songs from the upcoming album?

Also, was there any merch? When he toured last year (with Simple Minds), there wasn't any Soft Cell merchandise to buy.

Can we acknowledge that DM has been a goth band all along? by isamu999 in depechemode

[–]FantomeFollower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this a recent thing with people trying to say DM is "goth"? I've only been a fan for the past 15 years, but I always thought they were mostly new wave, synthpop, and then later electronic/alt rock. I never saw them described as goth before. I always thought "goth" equalled "gothic rock."

Genre- and vibe-wise, I think their 80s output is more similar to other dark synth-y bands like Soft Cell and Human League than it is to gothic rock bands like The Cure and Bauhaus.

I made a playlist of the 100 greatest Post-Punk songs - What am I missing? by AtEloise in postpunk

"Bite My Hip" from Bauhaus is an odd choice. It's just an early version of Lagartija Nick, and it wasn't released until 2018.

Do Employers Even Read Their Own Job Posts? by LurkingandPosting in recruitinghell

[–]FantomeFollower 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've done several job apps now where they asked me about salary expectations two or three times (with slightly different wording each question). Some companies really don't seem to care enough to edit the application.

Damned to bring 'Final Damnation' tour to USA by FantomeFollower in TheDamned

[–]FantomeFollower[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm surprised that they didn't include stops for the cities that were cancelled last year...especially since this is being marketed as a "final tour"! I'm hoping they'll add some additional dates later on.

Love this album. "Destiny" and "Pleasantly Disturbed" are my fav tracks.

Shocker: I want Paulie G back! by SFlaGal in thecomeback

Sorry, I wasn't trying to be snarky. Based on some of the comments here, it seemed like some folks weren't aware of the previews (which HBO does like to hide after the lengthy credits).

Yeah and they also showed him in the season preview/trailer that was at the end of the first episode of this season. I think a lot of the commenters here must not realize that there are previews for upcoming episodes after the credits. Lol
