Eldergoth Nostalgia ahoy!

[cupcake_goth]

 Earlier this week I had a specific music craving: the sort of swirly, trance-y, atmospheric music that goth clubs in the 90s would play during the first 90+ minutes after doors opened for the night. It was good background for lounging about and catching up on gossip before the Real Dancing started.

As I always do when I get these sorts of musical cravings, I asked the hiveminds of FB and Twitter to help me remember what bands and songs would be on that hypothetical playlist. I got a lot of really good suggestions, but then! Oh then! One of the folks over on FB put an entire Spotify playlist together. 

Swirly Goth - Deep Gorgeous Cuts

This is exactly what I wanted. I'm slowly buying the songs on this playlist that I don't already own, because I need to have this playlist on Renfield the Olde Skool iPod for when I'm not using a device connected to the interwebs. (Also, I'd rather buy the songs than pay for a Spotify premium account. I'm weird like that.)

Ohhh, such nostalgia.

I have many tens of gigabytes of audio files on my phone. We don't need no steenkeen internet! At least not after you sync.

speaking of music....

In other, although tangentially related news, I am almost finished with my Goth Latinx playlist on youtube. I am hoping you will share it with your minion hoard, as the spanish language goths need a bit more visibility. <3

I am putting the music into a sort of order so it starts with that sort of ballady more soft swirly and sort of raises in tempo into the more swing, 80s, death rock, industrial, and ending with punk. I will be posting it to my own dreamwidth as well as on facebook. I can email you a link to the playlist as soon as I officially publish it.

I might have to investigate some of that playlist myself :-)

I don't think that's odd at all, I do the same. The artists get almost no money from spotify. I know record companies don't have a great history that way either, but spotify is worse.

This is magic! Thank you for sharing it. This completely reminds me of those early hours at the club... and we played a lot of this at Brickbat, not too long ago.

Please share it when it is ready!

And it's done enough for me - Goth Español

Please share. I am pretty sure a third of the list features the spanish singer Alaska, who is sort of Spain's own Siouxsie.
