A little something I’ve been giving thought to. Unfortunately there isn’t a lot of music for every single holiday. I know I can spin up a decent goth Christmas playlist. The next closest theme I could possibly structure one around would be 4th of July here in the United States perhaps.
With that in mind I thought it might be interesting to do a community created playlist. Everyone is invited to contribute whether you’re American or not. The only requirements is that it might pertain in some significant way to America or current events in America. Or perhaps just a good solid protest song. As well as being genera apropriate. Goth/punk/postpunk/horrorpunk/industrial/etc. I’ll start of course with knocking out some of the easy ones.
London After Midnight - America’s a Fucking Disease
Vision Video - I Love Cats (if you listen you’ll get it lol)

Hey great idea. Hmm… off the top of my head:
- Bestial Mouths “In Ruins” is about the BLM protests iirc
Innerpartysystem had this song “American Trash”… but I dunno that might be kinda meanspirited in this context- I’m pretty sure “Gun Lover” by Acumen Nation is ironic
- oh yeah Nine Inch Nail’s Year Zero album is pretty much all relevant. I’ve always had a thing for “The Great Destroyer”
There’s always the reznor adjacent Bowie track as well.
Yeah, that’s a good one!
I’m thinking that it’s kinda easy to find bad/negative songs which is fine for a while but you don’t want a whole set of that, it’ll get depressing. You kinda want a song that’s like: “things are terrible but we’ll persevere.” I’m having problems thinking of any tho. Anyone got ideas?
I wasn’t a fan of that LAM album right after it came out, but the tracks sound truer than ever now.
Well at the time there was a swell of Hope and thought that things could be different perhaps. That we were going to be free from Bush and had learned our lessons. Never having a president or politician as bad as him again. I think anyone could be forgiven for thinking at the time it was a bit too cynical and harsh.
You’re not wrong however that it has only become more deserved and appropriate with every passing day.
