Heartland

wasnt there a cartoon one as well? i may be thinking of something else though. the smoke clears.... and eldo is revealed... something along those lines You don't mean Kaptain Von, perchance? http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y178/kaptainvon/page1.jpg http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y178/kaptainvon/...

I quite like most songs on the Vision Thing album but somehow the overal feel of the album is not compleet. does that make any sence? It's funny, when the album first came out I remember one of my mates saying completely the opposite - that overall it was their best album, but didn't have their bes...

1- Best Lyrics - Dominion/Mother Russia , no bloody contest. Everything I respect about :von: as a songwriter in one fell swoop. 2- Funniest lyrics - This Corrosion always puts a smile on my face. It's so... snarky. 3- Hardest lyrics - the last third of Some Kind Of Stranger , or Temple of Love . If...

Okay, bit of wishful thinking here. Let's say you had the New Songs (everything unreleased after Temple of Love '92 ) all laid out and ready to be engineered and blended and technical-wizardry'd into an album. In what order would you put them to make aforesaid album? And, if there's a reason, why? F...

I'm gonna get shot for this: Walk Away. It is, to steal a phrase, pish: Eldritch trying to write a straightforward verse-chorus-verse unit shifter. Someone back up there said Doctor Jeep (pretty nondescript itself) comes, does its thing and goes without ever making a dent: that's what Walk Away does...

@ Herr Blast : it just seems obvious to me, following on as it does from Nine While Nine which is so completely about the day you realise they're not there for you any more. Some Kind of Stranger has all that talk about broken promises and realising, in retrospect, that it was never going to work at...

Marmalade. Obviously.

Fix'd.

Then imagine them doing a cover version of both ARFs "Lilith" and FGGs "Rush Hour" they'd ruin them just like they did with The Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb :urff: :cry: I dunno, that's not such a bad version until :von: hits the end of the chorus... "AAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH... ...

I am very fond of (make that - have live and breathed for the past decade) the likes of Siouxsie and Joy Division (if not a the Neph and the Mish), and I'm not enamoured with a lot of the glowstick-waving stuff (though I do like a lot of the stuff that preceeded it, Front 242 etc, and I would much ...

He is a penniless wastrel from some place south of Bristol and thus of unconfirmed existence, who only dresses like this for drunken bets...

Whaddaya know: I too am a Denial Goth. (I'm also pissed that you can like more than one film but not more than one author, but that's another story...). And apparently I have Normal Eyebrows and all.

Wonders of the Internet, eh?

Dumdums are bullets modified somehow to make a right f**king mess of whatever they hit; they don't just damage, they absolutely mangle. I associate them with gangs making their own in grubby basements, but that could be one too many dodgy cyberpunk RPGs talking.

Iron Maiden without Paul, anyone?

(I won't even go into how I actually like the Bayley albums...)

Bugger me, it's the bloke off The Wall!

These are all common sense, to me. If labels rush out artists before they're ready and sign up reams of bands without a longsight scheme in place they will have artists fall by the wayside and will have poor sales on their investment. This isn't due to the demon of downloading but due to short sigh...

The usual one-shot theory: Von has to record a "straight up, down the line, housewife-type AOR" single to stick on the compilation. He's a bit sick of the whole spiel by now, and so decides to provide a healthy dose of irony by adding his own ranting coda all about failed expectations, the...

One last album released at the same time as the Silver Bullet tour would have been one hell of an auf wiedersehen from the old man. If anything else came out now, it'd just feel like the auld beast staggering on and on - the moment's passed. I'd still like to see the "new" songs released i...

And the we'll turn round... always wondered... does this refer to anything at all? or is it just Von trying to be funny He's been known to p*ss about with sentence structure and definite articles to attract attention: I think in this case he's calling someone (can't think who...) out, accusing them...

I probably will, if only because my old-version CDs are skippy as hell after years in my godawful discman (it decided to wreck Vision Thing, and that was about the last straw - I may have savagely demolished it with a variety of garden tools). Didn't buy the individual reissues because [s]I thought ...

** - I swear I've heard "in her party dressed to kill, she thanks you" on a couple of live versions, but I can't quite remember which. It's always "dressed to kill" isn't it? Yep. The song always changes "Alice in her party dress, thanks you kindly, so serene" to "...

Could anyone post the correct lyrics for Alice? Alice pressed* against the wall so she can see the door In case the laughing strangers crawl and crush the petals on the floor Alice in her party dress, she thanks you kindly, so serene She needs you like she needs her tranqs to tell her that the worl...

abolish single sex schools. Seriously. They do no harm to outgoing kids with lives outside academia, but sad little nerdlings like me get set back years . And me. :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: Don't worry about it boys, I went to a mixed thingy school and came out a sad little nerdling. :| :i...

Some rants on the education system, Volume One: - if you want kids to learn a foreign language, start teaching them young - not long after they've started to get their heads round English - and have native speakers doing the teaching, please.

Hmmm...not angry, no. It's more a mixture of irritated confusion and frustration when the writer, in this case Andrew, points out what the imagery is for the metaphor and then someone (doesn't matter who) goes: "Nah, that isn't right, but I have no idea what he's on about." Makes me want ...
