Uppers
Kohl not goal
From gothy pop starlet Betty Curse to trendy bands like the Horrors... yes, the sun may be shinning, but a new goth revival is upon us for the summer
Bush wars
Neil Young rush releases his Living with War album and then Madonna uses her Coachella gig to have a pop at thepresident... Right on!
