[kj] OT: somewhat rapturous Bauhaus CD review...

[Brendan]

Goth wouldn't get four pillars, it would get four handbags...sorry boys
but wearing eyeshadow, if you're not Robert Smith you're totally violating
the manifesto and your nutpurse will start to shrivel instantly. Smith,
well he's allowed....just cos.

Oh and Brandon Lee in whatever that movie was. There may be some more
dispensations but I'll give them out grudgingly...in fact I'll probably
leave it to Alex.

Oh, the SAS, they're allowed too, as long as it's boot polish not L'Oreal,
and they don't put their weapon down while they apply it, or get anyone
else to apply it for them while they move their face accomodatingly...

And Jaz, well it's not goth, it's, um, gothtic.
