There was also an NME special edition of 80's Goth out before Xmas. Robert Smith was on the cover. I picked it up at Border's for $10. It's a terrific retrospective of 80's Goth acts like The Cure, Bauhaus, Siouxsie, Cocteau Twins, and many others. Gr

For people who missed out on the Goth issue, there's a Barnes and Nobel in DT Mpls that has about 6 copies left. If you're interested let me know and I'll pick them up. They run about $11 after tax, and mailing costs I assume would be about $3.00 first
