Heartland

Barracuda, by Heart. Appropriate subject matter and power chord riffage. And I could totally imagine Von mumbling through it in his baritone, with Ben on backing high notes.

Oh dear.

Ah yes, I think you're right! That's much better than "The world is skinny".

Here's what I'm hearing, from Bristol: Watch the space between the stars There is no captain until you do Threw a line; we did not [?] it. We’re all many; we are few. I keep my fireworks on the bridge Hold my crew from side to side The world is skinny, well The world is wide We’re all many; we a...

Agree with most of the above, but also do a giddy kid goat heel click at "I'm lost with stupid again". http://www.thesistersofmercy.com/lyrics/susanne.htm ... "I'm lost for stupid again" ... and yes, I agree. Follow your imagination Tear apart what you believe Erm, that'd be I'll be your imaginatio...

Thanks guys -- I got Saturday tickets, so just need for Friday now.

So... because I'm mental, I just bought tickets to fly home for the two London gigs (from the U.S.). But the gigs are sold out. Anyone have any pointers toward where I might be able to find a ticket (or two, since I might bring a friend along) for the two nights at the Roundhouse?

p.s. @MAndrews check your inbox?

Oh my.

OK, forgive the thread necro but I figured it was better than starting a new one... So, I was listening to the radio the other day and Def Leppard's "Armageddon It" came on. And, you know, I'm pretty damn certain that Under The Gun references it: Take it, take it, take it from me I got an itchy fing...

"It was the biggest cock you'd ever seen, but you've no idea where that cock has been."

On the one hand, I'm salivating at the notion of the Sisters doing Revolver and looking forward to seeing it on YouTube. OTOH, it's a bit of a shame that it's apparently the same-old same-old, essentially...

Well, FWIW I thought it was backward-looking, same-sounding rubbish. It sounded like a Rosetta Stone album.

Just a note that you seem to have "left" and "right" confused on that page of the wiki, vis-a-vis the placement of the videos.

My immediate reaction:

- Fantastic vocals; best I've heard him in, oh, 10 plus years.
- a bit of a low-energy gig and some issue with someone at the front leading to a butchered tune. Von: "that was weird, but f**k it."
- a spine-tingling 1959.

Yep--I tried it, but to no avail. Will give it another go.

Can someone ask Pete (or whoever) to approve my subscription request? Thanks!

I don't seem to be able to (re-)subscribe ... is Pete (or someone else) still running it?

Cheers,
George

Oh, and a follow-up question: who played the part of Hylas?

One of the things that makes the Sisters my favourite band is the depth of the lyrics, and the fact that there are all these references and allusions buried in there. I think Andrew once referred to them as "time bombs" or something similar, and it's such an appropriate description. I'm actually qui...

And obviously it's REALLY all a reference to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CdmUC3pQbY

Fair enough - I was just going from what I found on http://www.noslang.com/drugs/dictionary/t/ ... (from which, too (I'm afraid), I found the window pane reference! p.s. FWIW, according to wikipedia "Irvine Welsh himself has explained in a Q&A that the title is also a reference to people thinking th...

I was killing time, reading over this thread. If we take the interview at its word - that Nine While Nine is indeed about drug inertia - well, "train" is slang for heroin. Makes me almost wonder if the entire song isn't about coming down, and its symptoms. I know, it could be a stretch and it's easy...

And, if hitting golf balls is more your speed, Sandy Springs gun club is right around the corner from the cheap and cheerful Steel Canyon.
