Love throwing muses, but I don't know the rest

Great choices, almost same taste!

 

I think there is a Gene Loves Jezebel at my local store!

 

The Internet. It's for more than Steve Hoffman.

 

I prefer to shop local because my local store is struggling

 

Julian Cope Fried
Julian Cope Peggy Suicide

 

I'd have to imagine they'd be able to special order the albums for you.

 

The mixing on the remastered records for Siouxsie is pretty bad, and thats all they can order.

 

The Associates - The Affectionate Punch (Deluxe Edition highly recommended)

 

I perfer sulk as an album myself, but The Affectionate Punch is pretty solid

 

Can't go wrong with either.

 

What gave you that impression? They are, with the exceotion of The Rapture which had pressing issuee, pretty awesome.

 

my brother has a copy, and the mixing just doesnt feel right to me.

 

Gotya. Just FYI I think you mean mastering.

 

I do... My brain is kinda on autopilot lol...

Anna Von Hausswolff - Dead Magic

 

Oh, for something newer: She Past Away

 

a lot of amazing post punk music was made by women. it was the first great era for independent female artists. I loved the Slits, Raincoats, Au Pairs, and Liliput. This song is one of the coolest from the era IMO.

 

love daughters

 

The Chameleons' Second Skin is perhaps the definitive goth-rock track in my view, magnificently atmospheric and progressive.

 

+1 on this. Quite possibly my favorite song of all time. Definitely my favorite band.

 

Post punk/Goth/and New Wave are all part of my primary music obsession, but when faced with such an open-ended question, I sometimes don't know where to start, so I just start listing anything off the top of my head.

Here are some favorites, some of which have already been mentioned:

Sad Lovers and Giants - Any of their 80s and early 90s albums
The Passage - Pindrop, but any of their four studio albums
Comsat Angels - Fiction
The Wake - Harmony and Here Comes Everybody
Red Lorry Yellow Lorry - Talk About the Weather
Cowboys International - Original Sin
Teardrop Explodes - Kilimanjaro and Wilder
John Cooper Clarke - Snap, Crackle, and Bop
The Passions - 30,000 Feet Over China
Wolfgang Press - Standing Up Straight
Krisma - Clandestine Anticipation

I know Wire have been mentioned, but I'd also add Colin Newman's A-Z and Not To.
