#Pagan Rock

[thedarkcornerwithdjevildave]

I think this is the 15th World Goth Day, having begun in 2009 when BBC Radio six chose to play different genres a day for one week. May 22nd just so happened to be goth. The few goths that picked up on it, including DJ Martin OldGoth and DJ Cruel Britannia (Now Batboy Slim) called in requests to other radio stations in an attempt to make it a bigger thing. By the next year, World Goth Day was as its name implies a global institution with events happening all over the world. I for one released a special playlist each year on a podcast. Some bands recorded a special song or released a remix for the occasions. As the celebrations grew year after year, mainstream news outlets like The Huffington Post covered the annual occasion with lists of gothic bands (hit and miss, though interesting from someone not in the scene). You can visit the World Goth Day web page for events near you. Go to http://www.worldgothday.com. You can also celebrate with this playlist, wherein I have included and will continue to add a song per band or artist from the gothic, darkwave, and associated genres. Enjoy and keep yourself in the dark!

Hidden in full view

Free from prying eyes

Unseen, unknown

Angels in disguise

Within the Secret World

Cloaked by disbelief

In the Enchanted Realm

Beyond what is believed

Shadows in the Darkness

Creatures of the Night

Shadows in the Darkness

Forever wild...

urban anarchist type autism is i know all the plants on my home street i recognize all common graffiti tags and i have favourites

i can tell you 16 places off the top of my head that the tag "333" in this one specific archaic style is found

i notice new tags, i see you unheard souls

i watch the tiny sapling, canadian maple, it has spent months trying to force its way through sidewalk concrete and i'd try and rehome it if its roots weren't caught there underneath

i have the city council queer representation person on e-mail speed dial, i carry 12 types of pen to cover up hateful graffiti and i carry industrial cleaner and a scraper to get rid of bigoted stickers and nazi propaganda

and in an envelope that i was given by my lover/friend i carry uncountable amounts of stickers

the cops stop me for random "check ins" when they see me remove graffiti and i'm white and i'm aware of what that privilege means, despite the tattoos on my fingers and all the things inside my bag i have never been arrested

and i have brought you food when you were sick, i took the city bus with tea and vegan ginger soup to help you rest and cure

and i have fixed a bench myself with my own hands and tighter screws when it came clear that between the city council and the store in front of which it stands nobody owned it and therefore noone cares that senior citizens could injure themselves sitting on a broken bench

and on another street the senior citizen residence, they know me cause i've asked for their maintenance ladder to remove some fascist shit high up on a streetlight right outside their building

i count the seasons based on what the bramble hedges do

and every full moon new i silently rejoice, O Máni, that the wolves have not yet caught you

Praise Demeter for the existence of mini corn. 🙏 Truly a gift unto the world.

The Spotify playlist of goth, post punk, and darkwave songs is now over 300 strong. I'm aiming for a 24 hour playlist just for starters. I might end at 666 songs (if it ever gets to that much). I'm only including one song per band so that each gets equal weight (besides song length) no matter how popular or obscure the band. However, I am including spinoffs and side projects.

Come and lay down in the meadow

Rest your head amongst the flowers

Come and sip the sacred poison

Fly away on the wings of madness
