Musically, I think it'd be difficult to do a Gateway to Gothery.
You have the weird (ex-)goths like me who enjoy Siouxsie, Bauhaus, Joy Division, Sisters of Mercy, etc.; but also get into the rivet-head industrial-dance influenced stuff like Skinny Puppy, Nitzer Ebb, Project Pitchfork, :wumpscutt: and their mainstream…

No order:
-Monitor
-Dazzle
-Hong Kong Garden
-Cities in Dust
-The Lords Prayer
-We Hunger
-Spellbound
-Swimming Horses
-Killing Jar
-Jigsaw Feeling

Hmph.  Only a passing mention of Hyaena?  And Juju entirely skipped over?  "Through The Looking Glass,remains a footnote". Her covers from The Jungle Book and of Kraftwerk are amazing. Pretty much the whole album is.  This list is flawed at best.

"post-hardcore."
Stop saying that (along with post-rock, post-metal, post-your mom, etc.).
"Post-punk" is begrudgingly accepted (and even makes a little sense, like "post-modern"), but please stop perpetuating this meaningless overuse of "post-". I've been buying Fugazi albums as long as they've existed, and I didn't…

Also deserving a mention are Lords of Acid.  I do not know for a fact that they have a song about sperm, but probability is high that they do.

I first heard this film mentioned in one of Scorsese's documentary series ("A Personal Journey with Martin Scorsese Through American Movies", I think), and sought it out. Then a friend bought me the Val Lewton Boxed set, and I was hooked.

I just got into Uncle Acid a couple of months ago.  I don't have the new album, but "Blood Lust" is amazing.  Been going stony lately with Uncle Acid, Acid King, Fu Manchu, Lo Pan, and many others.

Ari Meyers on "Kate and Ali".  
Mia Sara in "Legend" is the reason I had a thing for goth girls for such a long time.
Alyssa Milano on Who's the Boss (I was the same age)
and Madonna in the "Lucky Star" video.

Looks like their album artist is the same person who does the Baroness art.  That's enough to make me buy the CD, unheard.

A buddy and I used to call it "Peanut butter voice".  It sounds like he has peanut butter stuck to the roof of his mouth.
Pee Wee Herman is another peanut butter voice.

The new Tom Tom Club album that came out last year (and no one bought but me) is damn catchier than I expected it to be.  Very listenable: http://www.youtube.com/watc…

The first s/t album is my favorite.  The others change depending on my mood, but my current second is "Democracy".  It's simply a brilliant album.  Also, their '00 output is VERY strong and criminally ignored.

You're welcome: http://www.youtube.com/watc…

Fantastic!  You just reminded me of the Coroner cover of "I Want You (She's So Heavy)": http://www.youtube.com/watc…

It's sad, but my first exposure to the Beatles as a child was through the terrible Sgt. Pepper's Movie Soundtrack that my parents had on 8-track.  I'm still kind of partial to Aerosmith's "Come Together", Alice Cooper's "Because" and (best of all) Earth, Wind & Fire's "Got To Get You Into My Life".

On the Simpsons boards (e.g. nohomers.com) Season 9 and 10 are considered in good favor with very few misses in either season.  Seasons 11 and 12 are agreed to be the absolute worst, and the turning point with episodes like "Saddlesore Galactica", "Alone Again, Natura-Diddily"",  and "Missionary: Impossible".  This…

I've seen him ham it up live a couple of times.  The Trilogy version is pretty good: http://www.youtube.com/watc…

The new album: http://www.youtube.com/watc…

Almost the same song, but I always preferred "unconditional".  I think it had a better arrangement, and one of the rare thrash-type songs where the bass fairly was prominent instead of hidden by a wall of distortion.  http://www.youtube.com/watc…
