Since I was traveling this past week, the editor kindly kept my workload light at Spectrum Culture (there were other factors too, but there certainly seemed some sympathetic generosity strongly at play). So the only thing that had my name on it was our list of the “13 Best Goth Albums of All Time.” I helped select the titles on the list–which I wish wasn’t ranked, I will note–and got to write the blurbs for two of the bigger albums, including the one that resides in the top spot. Never one who was heavy into goth music, I’ll admit it felt a little odd trying to write authoritatively on these. I’m just glad I forgot that I was in fact writing on our top pick. Then I really would have felt a paralyzing pressure.
