Subject: 1.4 What does gothic music sound like?

alt.gothic FAQ
Thanks to John Mc Donagh aka Nascent Virion for a list of what bands he though typified the Gothic sound. Some may disagree, but this is a rather decent representaion of GENERAL catagories. Clan of Xymox (Synth, almost dancey) * Southern Death Cult (SDC) later split in all directions. Only SDC are condsidered properly Gothic. However many of Southern Death Cult's Goth followers remained true even when they entered their 'The Cult' glam metal phase.

You have to ask the difficult ones, don't you :) Gothic music is very difficult to classify or categorise. Most people agree though that there are three general 'waves' of gothic music. The old school was a direct descendant of punk. It had a distinctly punk sound, but with very dark overtones. This can be heard in the early work of Siousxie and the Banshees, Bauhaus, Joy Division, Southern Death Cult, some early Cure and Danse Society.

What does Louis' music sound like?

Sunshine - The Louis Philippe web site - Frequently asked qu...
Louis is probably best associated with él records. According to founder Mike Alway, "the theme of él records would be escapism into a pop fantasy world which would always be optimism and sunshine". él was magnificently out of step with the rest of the late-eighties musical scene, enormously influential with musicians in Europe, Japan, and the US, and was ten years ahead of its time in anticipating the retro and easy listening vogues in recent pop.

Where can I buy gothic music?

FAQ
This is a very common question, as Goth music is notoriously difficult to get. Shops like HMV, Virgin and Our Price often only stock more mainstream gothic music such as The Cure, Sisters of Mercy and Bauhaus, although Rosetta Stone has been seen in HMV! If you live in London or Nottingham things aren't quite so bad as there is Ressurection Records and Nightbreed, but if you live in a rural middle of nowhere town you have to depend on mail order. The most well know online store is CDNow.

Subject: (1.4) Are square jars unusual?

Frequently Asked Questions -- Fruit Jars
Square jars were considered a design improvement because a homemaker could stack more jars together in less space thus allowing a family to put up more food in their small cellars or cupboards. Square Jars were made for the Smalley Fruit Jar Co. Boston, Mass in the late 1890s. Other square jars date from the 20s, 30s and later. The value of square shaped jars tends to be higher than round as it seems that fewer square jars were made.

What does the Sleep Deprivation CD sound like?

FAQ About Insomnia, Sleep Deprivation And Sleep Disorders
The main Sleep Deprivation CD track contains the relaxing tones designed to influence your brainwaves and help you fall to sleep. These tones continuously resonate and "vibrate", getting slower as the recording progresses. There's also soothing music played on top of the tones, to relax you further. You can play the CD at any volume. Even at minimum volume, the binaural beats are generated in exactly the same way... meaning you still fall to sleep quickly, not matter how quietly you play the CD.

Subject: 3.2 Where did the term 'gothic' come from?

news.answers/alt-gothic-faq
Probably the earliest usage, as applied to music though was by Anthony H. Wilson (Joy Division manager) who was overcome by a rare moment of lucidity on a 1978 BBC TV program when he described Joy Division as Gothic compared with the pop mainstream. How 'Goth' and 'Gothic' came to be used to describe the movement though is a little less clear. What is certain is that NME and Sounds used it, and there seem to be two suggestions as to where they got it from.

What does room distortion sound like?

Audyssey: Frequently Asked Questions
Instead of just hearing direct sound coming from each loudspeaker you also hear reflected sound. Each reflection represents a different path and arrives at your ears at a different time. Human hearing blends direct and reflected sound into one, but the original sound has been replicated, changed by the room and added to the clean direct sound. This is called room distortion. And each listener, depending where they are sitting in the room, experiences this distortion quite differently.

Why does my beagle sometimes sound like she's choking?

Beagles on the Web: FAQ
This is likely what is known as a "reverse sneeze", although it actually has nothing to do with sneezing. It sounds like a cross between coughing and gasping for breath, is often accompanied by drooling, and can last for a couple of minutes. The cause of reverse sneezing is unclear - the soft palate is often implicated - but the important thing to know is that it is a common occurence in beagles and is not dangerous. Getting your beagle to swallow seems to help stop it.
