Some flotsam to cling to.

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.

Maybe, just maybe with the likes of Gary Numan and Killing Joke reappearing in the charts (and TOTP in GN's case for Chrissake!) it will mean The Sisters will get a record deal. Then we'll get some relief from the dirge that is the charts these days. But perhaps I shouldn't try to get people's and my hopes up.

Just a thought.
To not know and to ask a question is a moment of embarrassment; to not know and not ask is a lifetime of shame.

I think the delay isn't down to lack of music industry interest, it's due to the industry not wanting to put it's money where it's mouth is. Trend-making has very much become trend-following. A lot of the pop music around now is based on a very old (in marketing terms) nineties formula - girl bands and boy bands for 12-year olds, where each member has a 'very distinctive' persona (think Scooby Gang), and, for our 'rebellious' 12-year-olds, we have two brands. The first is the Alanis-Clone (Misses Lavigne, Studt, Apple, etc), and the other is the Rage Agains the Machine-Lite of nu-'metal'. All you can hope is that some of the wee boys into the latter bother to branch out into the less manufactured versions of rock. Who knows. I HAVE seen wee boys in Sisters shirts...

Gary Numans last album was mint. Best thing he's done for ages. Very dark and very heavy.
