I'm sure I did not adhere to any Ferengi Rules of Acquisition, but then again I'm not Ferengi. Now that I put my Geek-hat away, let me don my Goth-hat on. I'm not really Goth but I had my moment in High School. I would wear all black, I was dark and brooding. I dabbled in the occult (still do.)
The most I got out of it though was the music. The Cure was a staple for any who wanted to get into Goth, it was like a beginners' handbook. For the 90s NIN, though not considered goth, added to my dark nature. Then, there's Siouxsie. I admit I did not listen to her until quite a bit later. Say ten years ago. I went through a bad patch then and though I was not wearing black all the time, my mood was there. My music got darker and angry again. I knew about Siouxsie and the Banshees back in high school but for some reason missed out. I think it may be because I was listening to more male artist back then and only started listening to female artists a little later.
I bought CD but I never bought any Siouxsie CDs.
Years pass... I'm not listening to a whole lot of dark music. In fact, I think I'm leaning to Dance again, but I had to buy this on Itunes. Maybe its the compelling cover art, the eyes telling me I must buy this, maybe there is a darkness inside me that is coming out again. Nevertheless, Siouxsie is now a part of my collection and I'm all the better for it.
