I write for them very occasionally and was offered a free subscription, but paid anyway. The Quietus are well worth supporting with money. No tQ articles, no Paint My Name In Black and Gold ... so I'm personally grateful. Have listened to half the podcast so far. Plenty to annoy and fascinate, mainl...

The publication date is still TBC. Not March 2020. I have a manuscript of well over 100,000 words, which I've been working on since we hit 100%. 85,000 will go to Unbound very soon. The rest is being shaped into 'White Rose Babylon' Some of this I will start to slip out in the form of Updates in 202...

They were excellent tonight. All of them. Full stop.

Let's assume Royal Park, then.

Oh. It's 'Maandag'. My mistake ... well, let's see what's going on then.

I live in bloody Belgium and that Sunday evening ...I'm on the bloody Eurostar.

Indeed, though I would never have described the 80s Fav as Victorian. Could they have meant the Royal Park? I think you might be right: it might not be the Fav, the 'local' in 1982. It's website says "Est. 1947". Is that when it was built or when it became a hotel? Don't know. Could it be that John...

Where am I going wrong? (On this specifically, not the whole 'life' thing.)

If you log in you should be able to see it. That update is set to be seen by Pledgers.

My interview with Wayne about Salad Daze is up here:

I'm in the minority on Sandstorm then, and fair enough. Makes me really excited about the book, though. I've re-read this a couple of times and it's really interesting stuff for "click bait". Thank you. I think having "Sandstorm" anywhere near this list puts a person in the minority. The painful om...

Ho, ho ... and no!

I put the "asshole waxed" quote to him. He most definitely has a reply ... To me, it looks like you were forced to do this interview and wanted to end it as quick as posible. :lol: Not at all. I don't make my living writing about music, so I only write about things I think are interesting, and talk...

Fantastic journalism Mark - you've forensically dissected the songs lyrically and musically and laid Eldritch's soul bare for all to see and thereby better appreciate his unique talent. I would have the same songs as you in the top 3, even though I have spent the past thirty-five + years being one ...

I just did a long interview with Wayne about his book for Louder.

Out next week, I think

https://www.loudersound.com/features/the-blessed-get-wired-the-25-best-sisters-of-mercy-songs I did this. It contains about 3,500 words which are 'Petula Clark' and 'Bowie.' You're welcome. I shall shall now duck and cover. I almost certainly did not include your favourite songs. And if I did, I got...

And now the games begin ...

Thank you to everyone in this Forum who pledged!

:lol: :lol: :lol: Nah, just wondering how much of a safety net we have if we do indeed only get to sub-100. "We work a bit differently to other crowdfunding sites so when you make a pledge the money will come out of your account straightaway. We take payments via credit card or PayPal. If a project...

ALMOST - is a new 10% off promo code for "Paint My Name In Black and Gold". It's also a description of the level of crowdfunding - we are at 96%. The ALMOST code is valid Monday 13 May to Sunday 19 May. Please share far and wide and let's see if we can get this book over the line. Deep thanks to eve...

96% now! :notworthy: What might be a silly question: I assume with these things there's always a certain percentage of backers who pull out, for whatever reason. Are allowances for that percentage built into the funding goal? So in other words, if 10% pull out on average, is the funding goal booste...

Definitely no surge ... small numbers. But it will be fun. More coming people to Leeds. Every little bit counts ...

Swinnow wrote:85% attained, so 12% left to go

Just checked with Wayne. The Sisters demos are not coming out with his (first) book. So all systems go with the Tervuren and Leeds events ...

The blurb for Wayne's book mentions that it will have special editions with a number of demos. I'm checking if these are the 'rejected' Sisters demos. If so, that could be making these events redundant. Will update, as I find out more ...

Any idea when the book will be published? Timescale goes like this: when 100% os reached, I write it. I aim to submit an 85,000 manuscript by the end of the year. Then, Unbound do their thing as a publisher. That can vary. So there isn't a set date, but it will be in 2020. Playing devil's advocate,...
