I have a secret to tell
From my electrical well
It's a simple message
And I'm leaving out the whistles and bells:
R***ell Br**d is NOT A FRIGGING GOTH
This is like the whole Marilyn Manson and Rammstein business all over again, only even worse because in my twenties I did actually rub shoulders with people from the foetid 2000s London scene that is now being discussed. Not to pull focus from the sufferings of the numerous victims, but the past 24 hours have given me some really terrible flashbacks of rubbish nights at the Purple Turtle in Camden, which was basically the nightclub you occasionally had to go to in London if there weren't any proper goth, synthpop or industrial nights on. The sound was terrible, there were people with pudding-bowl haircuts who actually believed Bat For Lashes was the new Kate Bush, and this was all happening at peak low-waist jean fever. If I stacked all the crab-ladders I saw there end to end, Jack wouldn't need a beanstalk any more, though he would need years of therapy once he got to the top.
Watching the Unsolved Mysteries episode about Billy the Kid and:
- Saw the Kid's photo for the first time and he was clearly born of an unholy union between Stiv Bators and a Mr Potato Head
- Loving the painted wild west backdrop they use so the inestimable Mr Stack doesn't have to worry about getting dust on his immaculate black coat. It took Duffy ages to guess that wagon wasn't real
- also loving the Deep Cowboy Voice they're using for the voiceover but honestly I don't know why they didn't go the whole hog and just use Carl McCoy from Fields of the Nephilim. Then again I suppose he's non-union
- A GUY CALLED HARSHBARGER. Best weird US name since Eagleburger

Fascinating i know
Well, it looks like this back-up account is on the fritz as well. For my money this problem of regular unavailability is the main drawback of Firefish, Blahaj etc. I think they're both still in beta testing and in Blahaj's case it's definitely early days, but if I ever had anything to promote I don't see how you could do it here. Promotion on Mastodon seems hard enough and that's much more established. If I ever reach the point where I'm building floggable-quality apps I will have to sort something else out to promote them, though God knows where I would go. Of course by that time the whole online landscape could well have changed several times over, so it's pointless to wonder really.
But I should say Blahaj is generally good - in the few months since I signed up it's usually been running okay, and since I don't have to worry about raking in Follows or reaching a wide audience I find it very charming. The local timeline has less earnest political discussion/reposting/sloganeering than other places I've been, and more people just talking about their lives and whatever comes into their head, so when you get political themes it's usually through a personal lens. So it's a lot more like Livejournal in that respect. And people seem to treat each other well here.
Oh, I've just notice the way they show the Alt Text here now, it's quite nice
God though, supporting UK small presses is exhausting sometimes. My three-year tour of duty on book Twitter has only confirmed my distaste for Amazon and as a book buyer you are constantly being exhorted to buy directly from the publishers instead. And for well over a decade I've done that, even though it's often far cheaper to buy from Amazon or some similar place, even before you factor in the customs charges. I've spent so much money trying to do the right thing, and I'm in a single-income household. If they're going to make it this hard I just can't do it any more.
Sorry for the double post. I see the name change has done nothing to fix the JSON Undefined errors round here...
