Computer Science major reporting for duty, sir!

I don't know C++ specifically, but I know C# and normal C, so it shouldn't take me too long to pick up. I'll take a look and see what I can do... Don't expect a whole lot, though; I've got a bit on my plate right now.

Haha, thanks, but I finally got someone on it; we've been working on it together for a few weeks, he's almost done with it now.

If you'd like though, I do got another issue, since I don't wanna bother the guy too much, hehe; especially since it'd be cool to get another goth rocker helping me here that I can credit on the site too, hehe ;P
One thing I want to do is organize all the songs in alphabetical order. The way it is sorted now, is based on how the music is sorted in the playlist library. This is inconvenient when I add new songs to the library... they get thrown at the end of the list, which is a headache to go through bands with lots of music.

Also, another thing I was thinking, purely aesthetics, is I was thinking to make the song titles follow title grammar; so all words are capitalized except articles, conjunctions, and prepositions (fewer than 5 letters)... unless it's at the beginning or end. Words like "the", "to", "so", "a", "an", "at", "but", "with", etc. I have a particular idea on how to approach that.

If either sounds do-able, you can PM me, and I can give you the code which to modify and such. =3

Hey, whats the Bat Cave like now?
Is it still a good place to hit up for gothic joy or no?

Why aren't there any new goth bands that don't suck? Seriously, the only bands I've been finding are "lo-fi goth"; half of them sound like hipsters attempting to make goth music.

What Batcave? The original club has been shut down for like 25 years. Or were you referring to something else?

hahaha wavves namedropped christian death, is beach party goth lo-fi goth? xD

i think he's referencing to how the bat cave reopened (for a while?) like i haven't kept up with this stuff but honestly every goth scene has been a joke since the 90's. goth nights for most cities is where cosplay fatties venture out in vinyl and black lipstick.

You mean the "Batcave Re-union Shows" that Specimen and Alien Sex Fiend were doing a couple years ago?

The Batcave was only open from 1982 - 1985 confused

It was renamed Gossips, and ran as a nightclub until 2004. It did host a goth night for a while in the 90's but it wasn't the Batcave anymore, and Ollie Wisdom and DJ Hamish had nothing to do with it.

The owners sold it in 2004, it was renamed the Soho Lounge, which failed pretty quickly, and it is no longer a club of any sort now.

I left Europe in 84 XP
Really sorry to hear its gone now
Used to love that place...

[Shadowolf]

Hahah, yeah, I actually like the whole hipster and lo-fi post-punk goth approach going on now ... plus the whole, "we're like a darker Interpol" thing or something with some bands now, lol. I think it's a spectacular goth revival, when you think about goth in the 90's (all those Sisters/Fields ripoffs) and some of the deathrock revival bands the last decade (with rather topnotch production that I felt kinda killed the sound). I like the return of super heavy reverb, lol.

[Good Heroine]

A lot of the new stuff is hipster garbage, but there are some gems in the new stuff too, same with the 90's and the deathrock revival of the 00's, a lot of the stuff was s**t but some really good material came out of it. Cinema Strange, Cranes, Corpus Delicti, Burning Face, Sleepmask, Frank the Baptist, Zadera, and some others that didn't fit the sound but were associated with the scene, notably the Spanish bands.

Hopefully more stuff like O.Children, D E M O N T R E, Factory, and ROMANCE (all caps, not to be confused with Romance) will come around and maybe push it a little more, though I'm a little apprehensive about how trendy the movement is probably going to become and all the taboo associated with what happened during the neo-deathrock era. But a lot of the hipsteresque post-punk is pretty good, XX, Violets (UK), Horrors, Manicure, Valerie & the Greedies...

This is probably more appropriate for the guild but no one goes there anymore, does anyone know where I can get my hands on a sleepmask download? I can't find anything since they broke up and took their album off of myspace.
