Sticking with the Goth club theme for a bit, I had to add this song which ended up back in my regular listening rotation again a few years ago. This group from the Netherlands was a favorite in the clubs and was a true Darkwave band through and through. Also known as just Xymox, they were one of the 4AD staple bands along with Dead Can Dance, Cocteau Twins, and Bauhaus. For a Darkwave song, this one can be pretty catchy. - David Leary Clan of Xymox - Jasmine and Rose [...]
All'inizio del 2009, i Clan of Xymox cambiano etichetta, passando alla Trisol Records e pubblicano il singolo Emily seguito dal nuovo e ultimo album della band In Love We Trust , uscito nell'Agosto 2009 e che anch'esso giunge al primo posto nella classifica alternativa olandese e tedesca, riscuotendo grande successo e facendo aggiungere i suoi brani ai classici quelli del nuovo album, lanciando definitivamente la band verso il trentennale della sua carriera e verso la sfida degli anni X, suggellate con l'uscita il 20 Maggio del 2011 , nel giorno del compleanno di Ronny Moorings, del [...]

Today on Indie Feng Shui, we're talking about Metal. And if you think I'm going to use this opportunity to post a bunch of Metallica and Mastodon , guess what? You've just proven that you know very little about Wu Xing ! You should have stopped by when we were doing Fire . No, metal is not the same as Metal. Metal is the element of Autumn, when everything starts to get cold and die. It is white and located in the West, and really does represent when everything starts to get cold [...]

It's another rainy Friday here in Gotham City, and that means it's due time for me to unearth another dusty gem from the past, perfect for the gloom and grey skies. Today's vintage video features Clan of Xymox , a synth-pop/darkwave band who made a splash while signed to 4AD in the 1980s. Sure, they were always (unfairly) compared to The Cure, New Order, Modern English, and Depeche Mode, and though the comparisons may have some validity, Clan of Xymox had a sense of songcraft all their own, constructing incredibly moving, emotional, but most importantly, catchy songs.

This week Editors cover R.E.M. and vice versa while Clan Of Xymox leave home their doom and gloom and deliver a dream pop version of David Bowie 's Heroes . As for the last track, it will ring a bell to all of you old timers. Grace was Paul Oakenfold's dance act in the 90's and wrote history with the club hit Not Over Yet . Nu-ravers Klaxons added more glowstick charm with their own version of the song, slightly re-titled It's Not Over Yet , but it's [...]

I hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas/Hanukkah/Ramadan (is that over yet?)/Kwanzaa/Festivus/Saturna lia/Boxing Day. I was in Colorado over the holiday and had much fun with my Mom and my slightly insane step-family. Christmas with a 6-year-old is fucking exhausting. Whilst in the lovely land of little oxygen and excessive Christian pricks that is Colorado Springs, I did get a chance to check out a couple bitchin' record stores. One was The Leech Pit , an awesome record/vintage clothing store that I have mentioned in the past. If you are ever in the Colorado Springs area I [...]

I'm having another industrial music wanna break everything I see kind of day, so stand back. I have some good synthpop I want to put up but I am totally not in the mood to discuss that stuff right now.

"A Day (Remix)" by Clan of Xymox which clocks in at 9:12 Hey goth. Heyyyyyy. Dressed all in black, with the whitest skin on Earth - an "atheist" who has surrounded herself with all manner of crosses and Christian imagery. You are a study in contrast. In public, you only smoke and never eat. Yet there you are: fat vampire. You look a little lumpy. Puffy, rounded edges, and frumpy. Pale with so many (too much) makeups and grumpy. The opposite of spunky. [...]

What's goth but a second-hand musical sub genre which grew out of the punk scene circa 1979 in England? Who really cares...but, I figured after all the mushy stuff around here, everyone could do with brief check-ups from Drs. Jeep and Avalanche. [Those being the drum machines used by the Sisters of Mercy]. Which is long overdue, you know. You realize you've been reading what is essentially a twee, indie-pop music blog named after a line from a SoM track, right? Mp3: Flood II - Sisters of Mercy (6.46) [...]
