New Eldritch interview...

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

Yeah, a nice little interview....was shocked to see it. Only popped onto the site as there's a new Kate Bush interview on there too.

He was grabbing the girls or something and got kicked out, no? Strange how that bit hangs a bit lost in there...

Choque was throwing the cupcakes around and generally being a dick. He was unceremoniously ejected. Not sure what that has to do with "1995 and Nowhere" though...

Re: "Mancs always big themselves up." -- Fair point; I can't imagine a Leeds band ever recording a song called "I Am The Resurrection"...

When no one was looking, Choque
took forty cakes. He took 40 cakes.
That's as many as four tens.
And that's terrible.

I always thought that I knew the meaning of the word "recently". I was obviously wrong. Especially when in the same sentence with "Far Parade".

All those third person replies make him sound like Charlie Sheen or possibly someone the UN might be considering relieving of his dictatorship.
Ben Graham wrote:"his is not for want of new material; since 1993, at least a dozen new and unreleased songs have appeared in the Sisters' set lists
That's a rather generous reading of the situation, although one that we've all heard before.

This is the kind of impartial assessment I love to read. A great biog and a decent interview too - :von: even has some positive things to say about WH ! Moral high ground time, methinks. So it's official - Wayne alone was responsible for the jangly folk-rock feel of FALAA.

Or Cesar or Napoleon- any-who i'm agree- that sounds a bit odd. And this interview brought nothing new. And 'Far Parade' .... :lol: :?

His answers were much more indirect and oblique compared to earlier interviews.

"There is also the possibility that after all this time, any new Sisters release, no matter how good, would inevitably be an anti-climax: a possibility that Eldritch declined to comment on in the interview that follows."

Self explanatory, imho.
Only the Americans could have built a place like this in the middle of a jungle.

Many thanks for the link

I thought :-

The synopsis / summary / obituary in waiting / story so far was excellent

The interview whilst revealing little nuggets of info was answered in a rather pathetic manner - somewhat childish, not what one would expect from someone of his intellect.

I love "third person speak" hence I found this interview really rather brilliant.
