Heartland

The one with the flowers on is really, really old. I doubt you'll find one like that in the shops today.

But browsing second hand shops and the like for silly looking shirts can be fun. I found some flamboyant ones in Kensington Market and in Amsterdam. (not much help, I know)

I liked it, a lot! From the opening scene and onwards it was like going on a rollercoaster-ride. Silly but a lot of fun. I wanna do it again.

I'm sure I've seen it as an exact quote as well, not just a vague resemblance. Come to think of it I'm pretty sure Richard Chamberlein recites the phrase in Thornbirds. Give me a moment or a couple years and I'll look it up

It's biblical in that that it is a bible quote. Andrew said in an interview that he always knew the album was going to be their first and last. Hence the title, which was to be prophetic and smug at the same time, and Wake. He could see things on the horizon. The words to Possession is about that.

WEA is Warner/Elektra/Atlantic Corporation. East West is WEA's label and was responsible for Sisters records outside the states and Elektra was responsible for Sisters records in America.

At least that's what I've always assumed.

I heartily agree. The album with "This earth we walk upon" is ace too. At least it was when I listened to it twelve years ago.

That was where she complained of the cold. Despite it being 20 degrees warmer in Southend than it would have been in Moscow at the time. Strange girl. When a girl says things like that they're not really cold, they're just testing you, to see if you're the kind of man that will lend her your jacket...

Green green grass of home
Ballad of a green beret
Big bright green pleasure machine
Early morning blues and greens
Green leaves of summer
O green world
Pass me da greens
Green Jesus

I always thought their slogan should be "It's your way - or Norway!"

I've been to Bergen and it was very nice coming up the fjords on a steamer.

What was the question again?

I think this is the one and only , since both webaddresses, at least with the .com suffix, links to Merciful Release.

Whether it's good or bad it doesn't matter, he achieved what he set out to do.

You said it Biggy. M1ssion accomplished (pun intended)

oh, there was a time, etc..... I don't quite catch you drift here... There was a time when The Sisters were all over the MTV. You had Pip Dann doing interviews on Postmodern and Paul King doing Sisters specials on 120 Minutes. Those were the days. You could just turn on the telly anytime of day and...

Thank you very much
I'll take a listen to it right away

For me it's probably Dance or Die, even though they tend to write silly lyrics.

@Obviousman - I've always been curious about Godspeed you!, but never actually listened to them. What's it like? Are they comparable with any other bands out there?

Indeed. Was this recently? Because I know they used that song a few years ago, the second or third season. One morning, seriously hungover, the herd had to watch a tape of a previous night of bickering, sex and p*ss on the floor, and it is accompanied by the song I was wrong. Silly, inn'it?

I really like white chocolate. Hope that doesn't make me a poof.

There should have been a better (i.e more expensive) video promoting Under the gun, to get more airtime on MTV (Label to blame). No, no, and 1000 x no. Under the gun is perfect as it is, and if the whole MTV thing disppeared off the face of the planet it wouldn't make any difference. It's okay I gu...

Oh here he is. St. Malachy and there are two more after JPII. Then the end of the world ;D I've heard of that list before. Not the end of the world, only the end of the catholic church. When that happens maybe other religions will follow suit and f*ck off too, and the world will be a better place. ...

A few random thoughts: More, the single, should have been followed up by Ribbons and I was wrong (Label to blame). There should have been a better (i.e more expensive) video promoting Under the gun, to get more airtime on MTV (Label to blame). Sisters during the Vision Thing era would have looked be...

Andy said once that it's about how the royal wedding was used to offset peoples reactions towards the Falkland war. On the one hand you have these two people getting married, on the other you have the english going fighting the argentinians thousands of miles away from home.

How strange. 10 songs listed under Andrew Harvey William Taylor along with Peter Hemsley and Gordon Ingram. 8 songs with Peter Hemsley and Graham Ingram. Another Andrew Harvey William then? What are the odds?

I've been listening to Sackloth'n'ashes most of yesterday and today and it's a bloody good album.

Rian, my fellow swede, did you happen to catch them on Musikjournalen?

Incidently I noticed on their website that there is a DVD with live footage/videos coming out in March.

Thanks a lot Biggy. Have a feeling I've stumbled upon something rather brilliant here.

Good review too.
