Alien Sex Fiend - "Curse"
Last time on r/goth's 100 Essential Albums, we looked at Bat Nouveau's "Metamorphoses". The review was a resounding, "Well, that was nice. Decent even." Today, we're going through the always iconic Alien Sex Fiend's 1990 release Curse.
Alien Sex Fiend hails from London and was formed in 1982 at the Batcave. The original lineup was Nik Fiend, Mrs Fiend, Yaxi Highrizer, and Johnny Ha-Ha. They're theatrical and campy with a...diverse sound.
They're one of the OG goth pioneers and if you haven't listened to them yet then you absolutely should. It's pretty much always a good time. I do have to say I wouldn't necessarily consider them a good intro to the music - they might sound a bit odd to the uninitiated.
The album is 15 songs and just shy of an hour long. It's a great album from start to finish. Loads of fun, easy to listen to while still being strange and interesting to the ear. Katch 22 was my fav song off this one.
Next up is Sisters of Mercy's "Floodlands" - so much for discovering new music xD
#alien sex fiend#curse#i'm sure i've listened to this before but i don't know if i've ever paid much attention#now i'm feeling zombified was the only song i really remembered

"When I last photographed them together in London George desperately wanted a picture of the two of them kissing. At first Jon flatly refused, but after an argument and a sulk, he gave in and eventually agreed to pose for an astonishing picture of him kissing George on the cheek."
The "astonishing" picture, taken by Levine, was printed center spread with the piece. If Levine thought that picture was astonishing he should've seen what Jon and I used to get up to with a Polaroid camera.

r/goth's 100 Essential Goth Albums
Been feeling gothy lately, but I keep going for the same 10 songs I know I love. Desperate to discover and rediscover some cool groups, I decided to trust in Reddit. I found a randomizer, stuck the list in, and I'm going to go through each one of them and share with you folks what I think.
First up is Bat Nouveau's "Metamorphoses". According to Last.fm, Bat Nouveau is a gothic deathrock band from Australia that got together in 2008. The band consists of Todd Manion and Alex Palmer. Metamorphoses was released in 2015 and appears to be the band's only album. It has 11 tracks and is 46 minutes long.
Honestly, not my favourite album. It was by no means bad, just didn't have a ton that caught my ear. It's something I'd put on in the background. Dust and Funeral Eyes were my favourite, Ghosteps was the only one I wouldn't listen to again.
Next up will be Alien Sex Fiend's "Curse".

The 'real man' in George's life is, of course, Jon Moss, someone who, by all accounts, was as straight as they come before hooking up with the Boy and who has carried on having the odd heterosexual dalliance ever since.
Their relationship has always been crucial to the group. Apart from his skill in whipping Culture Club into a commercial proposition, Jon has actually moulded a hell of of a lot of the George we hear in interviews. From him comes much of the intellectual undertow to George's babble.
All that stuff about 'strong moral codes', for example. Jon has never got on well with Philip Sallon or Marilyn or any of that crowd, but does seem genuinely to care for George and is keen to keep him on the, um, straight and narrow. If George is now a wilder and less popular character than he used to be, this may in part be because Jon's watchful influence is waning.
#culture club#this is from a mostly forgotten book called like punk never happened#published in 86#the group wouldn't properly collab with the author so he used info and experiences from interviews he'd done in the years prior#(he was a writer for smash hits)#this book basically outed them#while also proving it was pretty much an open secret#like this guy was not their friend#he was just this random tabloid journalist#and he knew they were dating#knew jon was (allegedly) a cheater#knew they fought constantly and it fucked with the band#amazing

A funny Take It Like A Man thing - George remains convinced the straight men he comes across who have encounters with men are all in denial about their sexuality, secretly gay but deeply ashamed of themselves and too cowardly to overcome it. Even though he began to engage sexually with women while in the midst of his addiction.
#this isn't to say a great number of those men were not in denial ofc#it's just wild to see his fairly narrow views of sexuality not getting challenged#after dipping his toes into the crazy world of party drugs and having some strange side effects#an honorary mention also goes to being heartbroken about jon's 'cheating' and lack of interest in spending time with him#while he was regularly leaving the country to party with friends and fuck random guys#this book is an ode to hypocrisy lmao

Jon split with Caroline and moved back into his parents' place in Hampstead and we got on with the business of falling in love and finding a new guitarist. It was such a perfect moment in my life - everything was coming together.
With Jon there was more affection than I'd ever known. Sex was tender and adventurous. My other boyfriends were all planks of wood who were happy to get blown off and roll over. It was like learning to love from scratch. I couldn't believe Jon had never been with another man, though he swore blind. Eventually he admitted to once kissing his friend, but I always suspected he was hiding something.
#horizontal drummer#culture club#boy george#jon moss#some very important notes:#a) jon was the first good d george had ever had#which makes sense of why george stayed soo long#b) i'm assuming george meant jon came across as more experienced than he should have been#(though other quotes indicate george thought that jon seemed to enjoy the sex more fully than george's straight lovers so it's hard to tell#and as lovely as this tea is#i think george just had a lot of really bad sex with some major tools before getting with jon#and got tripped up by the experience of having a lover who actually gave a shit about whether or not he was having a good time too#instead of recognizing his past lovers did less than the bare minimum he decided planks of wood was the default for straight(ish) men#i'll tumble 4 queue

That evening he turned up on the doorstep with cat scratches all over his face. Caroline had attacked him. He said she was screaming at him, in front of all of their friends, "You fancy George, don't you? You spend enough time with him." I asked him what he said. He looked at me dead straight. "I told her it was true."
#horizontal drummer#boy george#jon moss#so either jon broke of an engagement to be with george#or (the more cynical take) he tanked it by investing more time in his crush than his fiance#and she ended it once she got fed up with his emotional cheating#and he may or may not have ended things with caroline of his own volition#he seemed to be comfy cheating on her if george hadn't been skittish#either way i get that it was probably a pretty complicated situation for jon#poor caroline getting dragged into all this#i'll tumble 4 queue

Jon: I used to talk about karma with George and he used to call me an old hippie until I explained to him what it meant.
George: Yeah because he just used to keep saying, "Karma. Karma."

"Blimey," said Jon. "You look great." I loved turning up at clubs with him. I let people think what they liked - they always did anyway. When Jon dropped me at home he kissed my cheek and said, "I won't be able to sleep." I ran inside and sat down on the stairs in the dark, I could have strangled myself for not grabbing hold of him.
We spoke the next morning. Jon had to go to a party with Caroline, but he said he'd see me Sunday and joked, "How will we live without each other for one day?"
#horizontal drummer#culture club#boy george#jon moss#i'll tumble 4 queue#keeping up with the fuckboi#sir you have a fiance#still cute af though - neither of them had any chill whatsoever at any point of their relationship
