Official Site Update

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.

Actually, it would be something interesting to behold if the site was fully trashed and had to be rebuilt.

Would Von bother reconstructing the news sections that haven't been updated in 10 odd year or so? Or would a new site reflect the reality of the situation?

Hmm.

Are you sure?! I can´t believe it, to be honest...ahhh..I know what was written in there:




Treat me like a prisoner treat me like a fool
treat me like a loser use me as a tool
face me till I'm hungry push me in the cold
treat me like a criminal just a shadow on the wall

Shadow on the wall shadow on the wall
shadow on the wall shadow on the wall like a shadow on the wall

Treat me like I'm evil freeze me till I'm cold
beat me till I'm feeble grab me till I'm old
fry me till I'm tired push me till I fall
treat me like a criminal just a shadow on the wall

Shadow on the wall shadow on the wall
shadow on the wall shadow on the wall like a shadow on the wall

Shadow on the wall shadow on the wall like a shadow on the wall
shadow on the wall shadow on the wall like a shadow on the wall
shadow on the wall shadow on the wall like a shadow on the wall
(like a shadow treat me like a shadow like a shadow treat me like a shadow)

Shadow on the wall (like a shadow treat me like a shadow)
shadow on the wall (like a shadow treat me like a shadow)
shadow on the wall (like a shadow treat me like a shadow)
like a shadow on the wall

I had an immensely long and complex dream involving this last night.

I saw the track-listing (none of the "new" songs we know), heard some samples (remarkably good - original, but distinctively "Sisters", Von's voice very strong), and read through the new web-site in some length.

I spent sometime thinking it must be a dream - so I'd log out, log in again and it was still there. It had to be true!


This morning I got out of bed more wearily than usual.

oh dear.

i think it's a "well known fact" that :von: 's spies don't regulrly spend time lurking around Heartland and yet no one here ever mentions any of this stuff on Dominion!

:eek:

As for websiite downage - voices in my head tell me that the hosting company neglected to warn the site owners that their moving of servers about would affect the site in a sensible non-victorian manner and simply turned it off when a likewise victorian response was not received.

OK, sorry.

I understand that :von: is aware of HL and that some 'sources close to the band' do log on from time to time.

But no, we don't know their user names and we can't put anyone in touch with them.

:lol:

just to clear this one up, godgirl has contacted me and suggested a route by which we might be able to get some of those quirks on the official site straightened out :notworthy:

in order not to overwhelm her with a gazzillion bits and pieces, i'll act as a buffer between yourselves and her, just as she is acting as a buffer between us and the sisters' poor beleaguered webmonkey (who lets face it can only do some much with the material he's given :lol: :von:)

so if you do spot anything awry, flag it up here and i'll pass the message along to godgirl... as she herself has said, "unfortunately, I can't promise that other portions of the site are suddenly overhauled or a new album will be swiftly worked upon", but it might at least help keep the site free of the smaller, more cringe-worthy errors that are easily missed when it's your own work :)

to help this process along, i'd ask the god squad to also keep an eye our for people's comments re: site errata, and then pass them along to me using the mod's area (just in case there's anything i might miss)

thanks for the offer, gg! and please do pass on our appreciation to the sisters' poor old webmonkey ;) 8)

Thanks!

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Of course, now that most tourdates are finalised there'll probably be nothing to amend for a few centuries!
