The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn like fabulous roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue center light pop and everybody goes "AWWW!"
I deny any blind adds that don't accompany an engaging message. "ur pix are HOTT" does not qualify as engaging.
Industrial/EBM/Goth:

VAST (not exactly "gothic" but I only hear them get played in such clubs, so I put them here.) Anything Powernoise - I am all over that. "Terror EBM" is a laughable phrase, but I enjoy the genre it is attached to. I certainly don't claim to be well versed as far as who's who in industrial goes - if it makes me stomp or do all that "chase the penny, escape the spiderwebs" shit with my hands and arms when I'm at a club, I'm a happy camper with heavily lined eyes.Electro:

I love Johnny Cash, RL Burnside, and Princess Superstar. However, I don't know enough country, blues, or hip-hop that I could set up sections for them.
Odds and ends:
Lounge, swing, and big band. All sorts of eighties New Wave. A "wild bop". Classical, but can't get very specific there.
