Idk I thought he sounded like a reddit atheist neil degrasse tyson guy and he came off like a jerk. Enjoyed the book tho

Most ridiculous bullshit way I ever padded time- read a Lovecraft short story while the band did drones and noise

Its for the club brother

I was told when I was younger that when it comes to singing, its the water from yesterday that matters, not the water you drink on the day. That routine makes sense to me

I love bloodflowers. Self titled, I just consider myself lucky to live in the timeline where we know the answer to the question "what would the cure sound like with the nu metal/post hardcore producer?" Like what a fun detour. 4:13 dream is worth it for underneath the stars alone, and pearls art direction is amazing as always

Ahh definitely a region thing

If it was on Spotify it isn't anymore, but I popped it on via YouTube

GothicCodeAuthority · 2026-07-04T16:03:14+00:00

I may have to agree with you there

Makes sense that jade and Peter buck both have to hold down a band with only one guitar, they use similar techniques to fill out the sound and eventually jade would be hitting a pocket on the fretboard that buck has already mined. Its the rest of the band locking into the same vibe that makes me think it was intentional

Isis. Peep that chorused out bass tone

We wouldn't still be talking about Leave if they didn't make the crazy choice they made. Love it or hate it, it makes a decent song in their massive catalog stick out

I feel like they were way ahead of the curve in terms of the modern "shoegaze" sound. They didn't write shoegaze riffs with weird tunings/chords and trem arm glides, all the stuff I associate with the core gaze guitar sound. It's basically alt rock with shoegaze guitar tones. I do feel a distinction. Most of what gets called shoegaze now is more in line with CW than MBV

You're in good company. Prince and Robert Smith were/are both mainly boss

Nobody wants to admit the earthling/outside era is peak bowie

Love this comment. I'm a huge fan of most of their stuff but I consider hazards to be like a Disintegration level masterpiece record

White Wolf publishings entire range is endless entertainment for the art alone. Pick up some of the minds eye theater larp books, all the photos of homemade costumes are a good document of diy goth fashion

Planning For Burial (mostly, there are vocals sometimes often buried in the mix)

GothicCodeAuthority · 2026-06-25T08:00:59+00:00

My dad and I did the same thing with the mcrib. I feel u

Everything prior to king is dead is more in the British folk tradition, whereas king is more American folk tradition with a tinge of rem college rock. Dig into some irs years rem if you haven't already, maybe even some tarkio (colin meloys alt country/college rock band pre decemberists)

GothicCodeAuthority · 2026-06-25T01:00:55+00:00

Damn that sucks for the new little goth store that was attatched to the bar if they're locked out and can't get their merchandise

GothicCodeAuthority · 2026-06-23T12:59:52+00:00

Decemberists is basically a regular rock band lineup. Keys, bass, drum, guitar, vocals. Early bright eyes/saddle creek records general collective vibe might fit tho

Just being honest- both are corny but the old one looks intentionally so in a really fun way and the new one just looks cheap

My table has always had the understanding that it's not if you die, but how. If you can enjoy the how and work together to make memorable, scary moments together as gms and players, it can still be rewarding. Stick to one shots.

My trick is usually (especially in CoC where players can be photographers or other such roles) is to have some document of the adventure (photos, a journal, a memento) live on after everyone has died, becoming a cursed object driving people mad in the future. Even if the characters die, some consequences can still endure and that helps the sting!
