got goth?

i'm going to have to just come out and say it. i reallllly want the new rhino issue, a life less lived: the gothic box. i was never a goth kid (i don't think) even though i did spend a little too much time with too much hair in my face while listening to my walkman. but i digress. if you check out the track listing over at pitchfork you'll see what i mean about the greatness of this collection. i'm accepting late birthday/early christmas presents. sorry, holiday presents. perhaps madeline would like it for her birthday...

speaking of which (in a round about way), has anyone else watched that show black. white. on fx? i've only seen a few episodes (we actually) and i'm...unsure i guess would be the best way to put it. i don't know if there are going to be additional seasons, but the first one is on dvd now. i think i may check the rest of it out, but i'm wondering if anyone did/not like the show.
