...haunting, almost ethereal songs would surely get lost in the monstrosity of a sports arena that resembles the interior cargo area of a spaceship more closely than it does a concert hall. Besides, if the area itself didn't drown Amos and her talents, surely the throngs of screaming goth-clad alternateens would...
...from her fans. As Cale retreated from the stage, Siouxsie abandoned her vinyl jacket for a sheer skintight blouse and danced around the stage, singing seductively as The Creatures played.

Once again the murderous drama features a troubled youth and a community...

Yet, for all its traffic, will GeoCities actually make any money selling ads on those users' pages? Who, after all, wants to advertise on Claudia Lake's Goth haven? Lots of folks, apparently...
