Re: NEW NEW SONG (On the Beach)
The mentions of rievers and borders makes me wonder if this is Von's take on the possibility of Scottish independence. If it is, the second last line could refer to either a binary choice (e.g. as presented in an independence referendum) or to echo the 'debris cut two ways' of Possession, notably a ...

Definitely, although the girl with one paw I referred to had a birth defect.

Re: currently cutting a rug to
''You Want it Darker' by Leonard Cohen sounds very much like 'War on Drugs' by The Sisters. The key, the melody and the temperament are the same.

Your terrible lyrics/poetry

I brought a girl home once and she was fat I brought her home twice, thrice, it was like ...

Re: Newly declassified Tsar Bomba footage
Apparently the parachute borked the Soviet nylon industry. Perhaps this says more about the state of that industry than the size of the parachute. There's an old CIA saying that the Russians would be unable to smuggle a suitcase nuke into the US because they would be unable to construct a functionin...

Re: 40 best song lyrics...
Some people get by with being able to quote huge tracts of their holy books. Impressive, but some people get by with being able to quote the entire Under the Gun lyric.

Re: 40 best song lyrics...
Nice to see an appreciative entry for the Sisters. I particularly liked the observation that: "Ever better, and from the same Floodlands (sic) album was “This Corrosion” – a track more epic than watching all three Lord of the Rings movies from the top of Mount Everest." Still, IMO, 27 years on, Unde...

Day by day, we get closer and closer to this song being a prophecy.

Re: currently cutting a rug to
More seriously, all albums by Ladytron, The Eden House and Unloved. For some reason, I only wish to listen to music with female singers these days. Not quite sure what it is.

There must have been some kind of legal proceedings since, as far as I can recall, Eldritch won a certain amount in damages from the Hussey camp. Damned if I can remember how much it was. It's not as though Eldritch gloated about it or anything like that. ;-) > As I recall, the row wasn't about the ...

It may be interesting to speculate on how things would have progressed had Eldritch continued with the name The Sisterhood. Perhaps very differently, perhaps exactly the same. That's a very interesting point to speculate on, Mark. After all he, won the court case and had proved his point. In a sens...

Sam, I would say the whole point of a joke is to subvert accepted moral standards, but not seriously, only in a 'sandbox', so to speak. It's a very interesting question as to why we would want to do this. Clearly there is something unnatural about being compelled to obey these moral standards. Other...

Eldritch was wrong to start smoking and he knows it. And I was wrong to follow him and I know it. That said, it was kind of amusing and also somewhat sad (even to a fellow smoker) to see him at the Bristol gig last week with an unlit fag between his fingers for two thirds of the show until he was ab...
