I noticed plenty of articles recently on dirge music (Joy Division, Cure,
Banshees, Red Lorry Yellow Lorry, etc.), several articles on the Smiths and
the Fall, a few articles on Kate Bush, several requests for info from yours
truly, ...

If none of these artists are what you had in mind, then I suggest you post
some articles about artists that you like, since the net is a participatory
medium (cf. television), and the readership gets out of it what it puts
into it (as even the deadheads are learning).
