And so it grinds to a halt

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

Down while being updated? (ever the optimist)

Well, not actually down per se, just slow as running through treacle.

Where did you find that?

I was trying to access the Gigography earlier and it wasn't loading at all. So I thought he was updating that with the Silver Bullet dates... it seems he did not.

Rather than kick off an uninspiring thread, has anyone seen any East West 'pre-release propaganda' for SSV?

but they're the same site :?:

they appear to be hosted on the same box, so unless the dns servers and routing are different for each address, there should be difference in speed :?:

Yes have an advert from UK magazine advertising the release and a press release, German I think, though i'd need to check.

They're the same site on the same server. Identical routes and a few milliseconds (at least from here) aren't unusual.

DNS lookups could be marginally slower for the hyphens??? Not in your local cache or something like that, perhaps.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Is this the place I used to know as Fatherland?

Any chance of a scan or two?

I heard that there was a review/advert in The Guardian at one point too...
