Is there an argument in favour of some kind of Misery/Stephen King type approach to this problem? A van, some chloroform, a cabin in the woods somewhere equipped with a recording studio and hey presto, bobs your uncle. Yes, you'd go to jail, but at least you'd have some decent tunes to pass the tim...

Belated happy birthday, Young Fart!

Definitely remember that he said it, it was something along the line of "real bands release records" and was during the Sisterhood fued. It's important to take it in that context. It's not necessarily his actual opinion, more of a jab at Wayne and Craig, and anyway subsequent events have shown that ...

At least, if Von doesn’t want to produce anything, he could released the songs via « live here ». A very good live album could suits me very well. Intriguing idea. If only Von would consider it :von: He'd probably reply that he has considered it - and rejected it. The whole idea of crowdfunding, li...

So my question is, why the hell was Peewee advertising the Vision Thing album?? Or was this like super-imposed on original footage?

Everybody shouts on I Love Lucy, Pee Wee reads the evening news.

Amazon USA has it in stock. I just checked. Ships from Amazon. I ordered mine the morning of 05/08 and received it the morning if 05/09. As I came to the party rather late, I’m learning a lot. Very interesting and enjoyable book. Welcome seconded. It occurs to me that it's a brilliant time to be a ...

Happy birthday to the grumpy wee man!

Black hole: First picture of Milky Way monster

Science!

Like the band, HL thrives on a diet of broken hopes, stale dreams, and the contents of cans of flat warm beer that someone has put cigarettes out in.

Thirded, fourthed and fifthed. For those of us who weren't able to go this year, for whatever reason, it's been wonderful to get the gig reports. The generosity of people making and sharing recordings can never be acknowledged enough. The work of the Wiki maintainers documenting all of this for post...

Some of the clips I've seen give the lie to that, anyway. There seems to have been a very immediate response to most of the new songs, rather that the usual chin-stroking and critical gaze. The main thing that jumps at me is the level of confidence in the band. They're good, they know they're good, ...

Sheeeee's a mobster
She's got a family full of black lobsters
And they're all going down to the drug store
And I feel alright

Happy birthday!

"I'd like to think it was the songs that made this band. I know it wasn't. We used a lot of smoke, very few lights, stepped right back and just made a space where you could lose yourself (but more probably find yourself) in a tide of colour and noise." [Sleeve note SGWBM and still the best ever des...

Giving Ground has a "music&words: Eldritch" credit. _Paint My Name in Black And Gold_ reveals that Boyd Steemson wrote the lyrics, to rush out a single release while Von was in Germany The Sisters website even hinted at that in it's FAQ pages: The "Authorised Version" of 'Giving Ground' is Andrew's...

It's almost as if someone tapped Von on the shoulder, said "you know the sound's been really poor?" and it was honestly the first he'd ever been aware of it.

Sadly the bass was again and again too much for the recording equipment ...

That's something I never thought I'd ever hear anyone say about a recent Sisters gig.

Where was the revelation that is was a Marx-only composition? I feel like I've read a lot in recent months, but I can't remember reading that. I'm pretty sure it was the Mark Andrews book, but think it might have been in the bonus material. Otherwise it was a Marx interview. Edit: just checked, it ...

I like NTTC but can understand why others don't. It is rather out of place on side 1 anyway, and the revelation that it was actually a Marx song that he'd somewhat generously co-credited Wayne and Craig for wasn't too shocking.

2010-17 was awful for new songs though. It was great to see the old songs back for sure, and great to see the odd unexpected surprise like Rain From Heaven, and I really enjoyed the mad year when they worked their way through Surf instrumentals, but new songs? With hindsight, the band was effectivel...

Still waiting for We Built This City On Rock & Roll.

With UK Decay and Blood & Roses would have made my head explode.
