and of all of them the one of the closest to not utter tosh (in my EXPERT opinion) seems to be Buddhism, it's barely a religion and indeed when I studied it at university it was open to debate as to whether it is in fact a philosophical system rather than a religion at all.
But then the stupid cunts insist on belief in reincarnation and once again I can't have anything to do with it. Also, taken to its logical conclusion it seems to me that it's ultimately selfish. Yes detachment from all worldly concerns is going to cause you less suffering but we cannot all do that or the place will go to shit. Plus whilst earthly matters have caused me the most pain in my life, they've also given me the most pleasure so I'm happy with that trade-off I think.
So...I'm going to come across as a some kind of goth prick here but I'm afraid the most honest and sensible of the lot to me is Satanism: my brother lent me one of Anton La Vey's books and I read it merely to laugh at the Emperor Ming tosser but to my dismay most of it made perfect sense to me.

Monty though, Monty straddles the Steampunk/ Goth/ Emo divides like a modern day Wilf Quixote. Minus the fifth form, just watched 'Citizen Smith' politics and less Prozac.

I saw some 'alternative' leisure centre prick, dressed head to toe in turquiose sports-casual clothing, wearing sunglasses in the middle of winter.

You said you'd keep my sartorial choices secret.
Terrible bullying.

Apart from 'I'm Seeing Objects' which he did with DJ Spooky. You've never heard of that, though.

That Octagonecologyst album is ill though, production is by Automator and scratching by Q Bert.
Blue Flowers and Bear Witness are worth the purchase price alone.
