The iTunes Music Store‘s Essentials series has weighed in on the ‘essentials’ of goth.
It’s an interesting collection of tracks. Not a bad selection, either — I’m mostly just impressed that they have this many non-pop artists available now.
(If the above link to the Goth Essentials doesn’t work, try this one. Pity that while I can come up with iTMS Affiliate links for the iTMS and the Essentials program as a whole, I’m finding out if there is a way for me to link to the Goth Essentials set through the iTMS Affiliate program. Meh. Not that complaining about their affiliate program is a new thing for me.)
Did you know that Depeche Mode is listed in 3 Gay Pride iTunes Essential play lists…. I find that sort of amusing….
