Don't forget

[karohemd]

I (and three other Germans I don't know) will be on 209 Radio (just click the green OGG link) from 12 noon BST discussing life in the UK as a foreigner and specifically German. Looks like I'll only be able to play one piece of music, though. :o(
If you can't listen live, the program will be available as download from tomorrow (I'll post a link).

Exactly. Inherently, the Germans' taste in music is bad. :o)
You wouldn't believe the amount of pop tat in Germany but there's a very healthy rock/metal scene (just look at festivals like Wacken and Rock am Ring), too. The alternative/goth scene is comparatively small but still well catered for compared to the UK. For example, you can find mags like Zillo or Sonic Seducer at most newsagents and can buy goth/EBM CDs in main street department stores.

So thrilled was an American friend by this, she just could not help herself but took a photo of the EBM-section in Saturn. :-)

On a related topic, I heard "Three is an orgy, four is forever" by Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio recently and wondered if anybody could recommend one of their albums to me. Or tell me which ones to stay away from...
(Still not listening to DiJ, though.)

Heh.

Hm, sublevel3 or jonny_eol should be able to help you there, I actually don't have any of their albums, just a few tracks from compilations.

"Cocktails Carnage Crucifixion and Pornography", "Apocalips", or their split with Spiritual front which "Three is an Orgy is from", called "Satyriasis, Somewhere Between Equilibrium & Nihilism". Although I really like their earlier incarnations and albums as well.

Thank you. :-)
I shall have a look for those.

Don't forget to mention the "Wave & Gothic Treffen", the "Amphi Festival" or the "M'era Luna" just to mention a few gothic festivals.

Klar.
