“New money goths.”
“What are those?”
“They’re like, y’know, all these dudes from Orange County.”
“You don’t like them?”
“Yeah I don’t care for them”
“You don’t think it’s cool to have new people around the goth scene?”
“They just, y’know, buy their way into the scene with their new money.”
So begins this remarkably touching video for Slang Chickens‘ cover of Christian Death‘s ‘Romeo’s Distress’ – a melancholic, Americana-tinged version that really highlights the beauty of the original.
Taken from a Narnack covers compilation, released to raise funds for Medecins Sans Frontieres.
