View Julie's profile |
Familiar & forgotten gems from 50-plus years of music on the darker side, shoegaze, synthpop, goth, psychedelia, darkwave, with unapologetic detours into 70s pop. In a dark night of the soul, it's always 3 o'clock in the morning.

@3:48 Handy Haversack: Four? Your place sounds very nice! I wouldn't mind having four cats myself (not referring to the Finnish vocal quartet here), but even one would do for me to begin with. Just the scent of a cat will put the fear of god into the mice

Andres, ha ha, still saddled with the bills huh? To be fair, he's a comparatively low-cost person, deeply unmaterialistic on the whole. Except in the good way of wanting to expand his nascent record collection. Can't complain there...
Thanks Chris, and HyperD.
Rather liking Bebe's version.

One of Alain Robbe-Grillet's later films had a character called Karen Zeitgeist, and I always thought that was such an excellent name. A female singer should definitely steal it.
