My friend Talya is going with us to Bar Sinister this weekend, and hasn’t been before. So she asked, “what sort of music do they play?” How do you explain goth/industrial/EBM to someone who has never heard anything from those genres?
I explain it in the mix CDs I burn for my friends every month, which are usually a mix of what I’m listening to, plus a sampling off the Bar Sinister playlists. Here’s the last two CDs I’ve created. I try to get some modicum of flow going, so transitions aren’t too jarring.
And yes, I will send out copies upon request.
