tainted nubs
and if you're waiting for me to post fucking soft cell's tainted love- it's not fucking happening, not on my lj dime. i loathe that song because i had to play it so much for decades - so, yes, it's gay as matching luggage as is marc almond but the original is better and a girl sings it- a black girl- and nothing is gayer than a real diva. gloria jones was the girlfriend to glam and thus goth icon marc bolan ie t rex. she was driving the car he died in. she was a member of his band but had a long music history before they came together which included writing for motown( she wrote ' if i were your woman' for gladys knight and the pips and the proto-disco ' i haven't stopped dancing yet' .).

the year i was born- 1964- and gloria jones- the original tainted love. we played it on goth night in the day instead of soft cell :

and because the song always reminds me of coil just go out and buy 'horse rotorvator' and 'love's secret domain'. just please do it.

"Love's Secret Domain" is my fave Coil. It's full of freaky speaker rotations, ping delays, and pitch shifts.

I love this. I'm wondering if you do, too.

"Big" Judy Henske performing "Wade In The Water" This women has a VOICE!!!

that fucking rules!

to show you how deranged i am i set on to get a copy of the obscure album she made with her then husband jerry yester called ' farewell to aldebaran'-( before it was reissued). it was going for a couple of hundred bucks on the auction sites and i kept losing until i found the 8 track. of course i had to buy an player to listen to it- because i had to fucking have it. it's a really advanced for its time album-especially how it was produced . it has some proto goth stuff on it. i love her voice.
