    Goth: Share Your Faves

    It's not clear to me if it's Robert Smith or Simon Gallup on the Bass VI, but if you're looking for a goth mood, you'll find it here in this 28-minute Cure instrumental B-side (?) that was originally intended/used as a soundtrack to a film made by Simon's brother Ric Gallup. IMO, more black...

    80s Albums Many of Us Have Never Heard But Are Worth Checking Out

    If you could go back and see one gig, what would it be?
