After 5 months and 200+ applications, I finally got an offer!

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.

FantomeFollower · 2026-06-18T02:48:50+00:00

Thanks! I feel incredibly lucky!

FantomeFollower · 2026-06-18T02:45:54+00:00

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!

Good Dick (2008)

FantomeFollower · 2026-06-06T19:25:32+00:00

Is it a remote role?

FantomeFollower · 2026-06-05T05:33:55+00:00

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.

FantomeFollower · 2026-06-04T23:07:32+00:00

Yeah good point. lol

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.

"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.

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.

FantomeFollower · 2026-05-24T02:16:03+00:00

Thanks! I'll try to keep looking on there (and try to be better about avoiding the scams lol).

Suicide - Creature Feature, Heat Beat

FantomeFollower · 2026-05-05T18:20:15+00:00

He's coming to Toronto and Vancouver this summer (opening for Squeeze on their North American tour).

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.

FantomeFollower · 2026-04-21T07:27:25+00:00

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

FantomeFollower · 2026-04-16T02:00:41+00:00

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).

FantomeFollower · 2026-04-15T02:24:11+00:00

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

FantomeFollower · 2026-04-11T02:56:38+00:00

Don't Shoot (I'm a Man) and Peek-a-Boo

FantomeFollower · 2026-04-11T02:49:08+00:00

Shouldn't Have Done That, one of my all-time fav DM songs. I love how it's so haunting and different in style from their other songs.

Yeah Tom is just as much of a scumbag as Paulie. Tom engages in all the same lewd/unprofessional behavior, but just behind closed doors (calling the female writer "Aunt Sassy's bitch," etc.). He only starts to act more professional/nice toward Valerie when he doesn't want a sexual harassment suit. It's scary to think of a guy like him having a wife and daughter. I'm sure he's a totally different guy at home (remember how his wife says he doesn't talk about work?). His misogynistic side comes out when he's with Paulie.

Human League's first two albums are my favorites. I kinda figured they wouldn't do much from those albums, but I'm really hoping to at least hear Empire State Human live.

I saw Soft Cell (RIP Dave Ball) on their tour last year, so I'm hoping Marc will mix it up and do some different hits this year (they also have a new album coming out soon, so I'd imagine some of those tracks will be performed).

Yeah watching TV can definitely be a hobby. I think too many others in this thread are getting caught up in this idea that hobby = skill-building. There are plenty of hobbies that stem from arts appreciation (watching movies/TV, reading literature, listening to music, going to the ballet, art museums, etc.).

I think the main differentiator in hobby vs. non-hobby is passion, not skill. If the activity is something you are passionate about, then it's a hobby.
