anaistwinday 09 - a song that you can dance to
i really love a song i can dance to, and i really love to dance. back in my early-mid 20s, i used to frequent dark sparkle quite a bit. in fact just two days ago, i was overcome with overwhelming nostalgia (or something) and was looking at all the photos of my friends and i on the website (of which there are many.) i hardly go dancing at all anymore, for numerous reasons, but last month i went to new wave city's tribute to new order, and danced most of the evening. it felt so good...i forgot how much i love to dance. in fact, i am going to their cure tribute this weekend. they have it every year, and the last time i went to the cure one was yeeears ago. it's one of my favorites too, along with new romantic night and halloween goth night, heh.
anyway, here is a song i love to dance to. in fact, i always go nuts when someone plays it at a club and i run to the dance floor:
and here are a bunch more, because there are so many:
romeo's distress -christian death
release the bats -the birthday party
cannons -siouxsie and the banshees
sexbeat -sexbeat
baby turns blue -virgin prunes
far too frail -skinny puppy
getting away with it -electronic
lots of pulp, human league, bowie, bauhaus, joy division, new order, madonna, sisters of mercy, fad gadget and old ministry. and old dancey goth or new wave in general. i can't really dance to anything else, like ethereal cocteau-twins stuff is impossible for me.

In Buffalo, the closets you can get to Goth night are Batcave/Retro nights at Club Diablo and Transmission "dance Parties" where new/indie stuff, EBM, etc. along with some old "standards" (Cure, New Order.)

here in the bay area, the longest-standing goth club is death guild, but they play too much newer ooontz-ooontz stuff for my liking. though my friend who used to DJ @ dark sparkle now apparently plays old goth and deathrock in the upstairs room there, so i may have to check it out. lately a rash of new wavey-coldwave clubs are coming out of the woodwork, which i like. dark sparkle was the best though, because they played a mix of everything good- old goth, old industrial, a bit of punk, glam, new wave, britpop and miscellaneous stuff like prince. i think there's a goth club in LA called sanctuary maybe? i can't remember. i haven't been to many out of state that i can recall. i went to an 80s club in new orleans that had a goth room, but they werent playing danceable stuff there.
