I never really saw Nick Cave as a goth. Id put him closer to Tom Waits in terms of theatre and character driven prose. I like plenty of goth music, if taken with a heavy dose of irony as it’s all fairly ridiculous.

The Nate Mendel P. But not roadworn, in Olympic White and with custom shop ‘62 pickups.

Tom Waits Leonard Cohen Nick Cave Shane MacGowan All superb and Lyrically wonderful. Guaranteed to clear a party in seconds (apart from fairy tale of new york - the pogues lovecats….)

Yet Cream were founded well over 50 years ago! A few years before there was basically no such thing as a teenager and Max Bigraves would have been fairly risqué.

This. Possibly try AWS free tier. An S3 bucket can host static pages. If this is all just unintelligible jargon wix.com is easy to use and can cost less than £5 a month.

Good luck. Ritters are visually very interesting and unique. Speaking of which I guess semiotics also play a part. The contestants on The Appreciate may be tools a lot of the time but with the clothes and right surroundings appear convincing. The same can be said for a musician. Malcom Maclaren may have been detrimental to The Sex Pistols in that he didn’t appreciate the strength of the songs and they had a core of competent musicians. But he did understand semiotics and marketing. Edit: What’s this got to do with tone and wood? How good an instrument sounds may depend on far more than just what its made of. Im sure there are studies out there where people judge the sound of an instrument as being better if they know it’s a famous make. Violins being a good example. There are also cases where world famous classical musicians busk underground railway stations and people walk on by. This maybe because people are busy and absorbed in the humdrum it may also be that without all the signals of success, power and theatre the music and musician is diminished. Without a grasp of semiotics Hitler would have been just another bitter, twisted nut job ranting at passers by.

Has the effect of placebo on tone been considered? An instrument may just be the sum of its parts but if someone really believes it sounds better and it gives them confidence they will most likely play it better.

Jazz is such a broad church. Some I love, some I hate. Kind of Blue for example is the perfect 1am soundtrack whereas beaches Brew is a difficult album to digest at any hour of the day.
