death
@zzz One of my heroes for many years. I was a member of the JREF forums until they closed, and still hang around the follow-up skeptic forum.
@zzz Dry cat food or puppy kibble. They generally love it, that's what we feed our crows.
@zzz Did you ever turn up any new music from the suggestions?
@zzz Sounds good!
@zzz You might also try Helium Vola or Qntal and see what you think.
@zzz Oh good, then I can suggest bunches more. Catherine Wheel, Hypatia Lake, wumpscut, Deine Lakaien, De/Vision just for starters.
@zzz (2/2)
Nick Cave
Pere Ubu
Siouxsie & the Banshees
Sonsombre
Specimen
UK Decay
If industrial then Tear Garden
Ethereal? Like Black Tape for a Blue Girl?
Shoegaze?
Darkwave?
@zzz See if any of these interest you, in most cases, I can then suggest more in that genre:
Richard Hell & the Voidoids
Magazine
Legendary Pink Dots (try Any Day Now or The Maria Dimension)
The Horrors early stuff
Dalis Car
80's & 90's deathrock & goth rock like Christian Death, Dreadful Shadows, Merry Thoughts, Sisters of Mercy, The Mission (UK)
Faith & The Muse
Jesus & Mary Chain
Lords of the New Church
Love and Rockets

@zzz Okay, give me a few minutes to churn through my files.
@zzz Since I am a person from the postpunk/punk/goth era, tell me a few bands you like so far and I'll suggest some more!
Help make bail for a trans woman evicted and arrested due to her landlord/employer:
Can we please, please – PLEASE! not make the nonsensical US date format month/day/year the default in applications? 🤦♂️
PRE 👏 TTY 👏 PLEASE
And to all users of that format: it makes no sense, it's counter-intuitive, it makes collaboration frustrating, it introduces inconsistencies and errors... Just stop. Please. Use international standards.
(And don't get me started on your other units of weights, volumes and distances. Bloody hell.)
Boost if I'm right.
@echo @IzzyWithAnIzze@weirder.earth
Yes, they've officially cancelled this year's festival and moved to planning for next year. I checked the website earlier.
@IzzyWithAnIzze@weirder.earth @echo If you're looking for hardcore Chinese tea (pu erh and stuff), Phoenix Tea in Burien is still good. There are several places around that do the more usual black tea, blends & tisanes. Also one the pandemic is over, come to the NW Tea Festival every autumn!
@echo And their response has been ..... zip. So we're scratching off that one, too.
@echo Crimson Lotus plans to respond, so I am withholding full judgment till I've heard both sides. Right there with you on the other two.
