The fight for diverse and conscious voices

This is not the music post you were promised; I may still get a chance to crank that out before the end of the day. I am hopeful that among my readers are at least a couple who will understand just how awesome this track is. So awesome that I had to put it front of the queue and make a post with just this track. But before the Soundcloud link, you have to suffer through a little story...

Recently a friend of mine posted a set-list she had DJed. I listened through and commented that I thought the set was a bit depressing. In response I got a comment to the effect of "well, it's a goth set, so of course it's depressing, duh".

I looked at that comment for a while and thought about writing back, but I did not. It was someone else's LJ and it would have been rude of me to pick a fight with their friend in the comments thread. However, had I written back, part of what I would have said would have been:

Don't try teaching your grandfather to suck eggs, kid. I was listening to Andrew Eldritch back when your mother was still wiping the poo from your bum.

And now, dear gentle patient readers, a moment of awesome courtesy of Diane Birch (http://www.dianebirch.com/):
