There were the two veteran goth girls generously trying to teach goth dance moves to a veteran mod in the backyard of a hater’s party where the wall once stood. One deckchair, a bench, and a table were destroyed in the process. The veteran goth girls were still able to perform the moves most authentically, but the veteran mod failed disastrously due to stubborn groovyness, and not being able to remember that it’s one step forward, two steps back, and not the other way round. He could not produce the claws of desperation and a doomed expression either. This for you, veteran goth girls!

Michael, a music enthusiast I got to know on the Discogs message board, had a now defunct blog called Silence is a Rhythm too and asked me if I could provide a mix with something I did not usually publish. So I came up with the idea to do three mixes that contain sad or melancholic songs. The mixes are structured so that they start out really depressing than get a bit less depressing, and end in something vaguely conciliatory. Jan Rikus Hillmann, the art director of de:bug magazine, told me they were world class, which caught me so off guard that I still remember it.
