"But tonight I think I'd rather just go dancing -

- There'll be time enough for rocking when we're old, my love."

Who's coming to Synthetic Culture tonight?

And a poll, because this has been on my mind lately. Which genres of music do you like? And I mean really like, makes hairs stand up on the back of your neck or tears come to your eyes or your foot to tap uncontrollably or makes you feel all's right with the world, that sort of like.

This isn't supposed to cover all genres. My purpose will be explained shortly. (I should have put in an 'Other - please state' thingy, so please state your others in the comments.)

I hesitated over 'goth with guitars', but so much of it just sounds cheesy to me these days that I find it hard to like unironically....

Oh, hang on, I danced like a loony to The Cult last time I was at B-Movie. And I still like the Sisters. And I only stopped listening to Fields of the Nephilim because I lost my CDs and the minidiscs broke. I am a hypocrite and am going back to change that.

And for 'mainstream dance', I mean things like Orbital and The Orb and the Chemical Brothers and stuff, not *shudder* Eric Prydz and his ilk.

Oh, right, well if Chemical Brothers counts then I'm going back to change my answer ! (And Basement Jaxx ?)

Yeah, them too. There's nothing even remotely underground about them any more, is there?

I even like the desperately cheesy bits without the faintest hint of irony :)
