Manson streams High Street goth

Apparently we've got a higher than usual proportion of Marilyn Manson figurine collectors amongst the readership this morning, as they scramble to tell me what a knob I am; doubtless, they'll already have seen Marilyn Manson's MySpace is streaming the opening track from his forthcoming album.

It's called - no, really - If I Was Your Vampire.

Brian thinks its a new goth epic:

"the new 'Bela Lugosi's Dead', it's [an] all-time gothic anthem."

The over-statement of his own abilities would be amusing if it wasn't for people actually nodding and saying "oh, yes... it's the new Belle And Sebastian's Dad. Yes."
