While surfing the net during work hours, I discovered this fascinating little tidbit that you may or may not wish to post on NOOL if you are so inclined:
“The first dateable use of the term "gothic" in relation to post-punk music was by Tony Wilson, who described Joy Division as gothic compared with the pop mainstream on a BBC TV programme, "Something Else" (15/9/79), when Tony Wilson and Steve Morris were interviewed.”
CTB sent me the above because for some reason he is paranoid about cracking the 1000. I suggest it be credited to him anyway.
Looks like Wilson has alot to answer for. If only he'd called it something else, Fat Bob might actually look halfway decent.
