This is my vinyl record collection of old school and new school dark alternative music. From post-punk, darkwave, gothic rock, deathrock, new wave, shoegaze, ebm and industrial metal this is probably my favorite section of a pretty eclectic collection I’ve built for over a decade. Many of these records I’ve been able to get at shows and records stores in different cities and countries, which adds to their sentimental value. When I listen to music like this, I always want to crawl into a coffin and melt away or haunt a foggy dance floor with my fellow darklings, dancing the night away. Lately I’ve been spinning more of the newer act like Twin Tribes, Forever Grey and French Police, but it’s always nice to revisit the classics like Bauhaus, The Sisters, The Cure, Siouxsie… I myself am strange and unusual. 🦇
its been eight months and im still just in awe of dance fever. florence calls herself mommy in one song and demon daddy in another. in the same song she calls herself mommy she makes fun of asshole dudes who project their mommy issues onto women. in the first song shes no mother shes no bride she is king. shes a girlboss shes a war criminal shes a lunatic. shes the next virgin mary and shes never going to die. she drinks blood she cant get off the bathroom floor she has more catholic taste than the devil shes gilded and golden and shes your girl. she doesnt know where to put her love she just keeps spinning and shes going to dance herself to death. shes blown apart her life for you her bodys hit the floor for you she cant see you she cant hear you everything she thought she knew has fallen out of view. gods gonna be sorry he messed with her if she can stop crying into cereal at midnight. she practices resurrection every night shell open her mouth yes shell take it all is she quiet enough for you yet. shes always running from something shes back in town she wants the rats to spin around her feet with you.
