Dominion Mailing List

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.

In some weird way, that does make me feel better. I'm not entirely sure how. Though I wouldn't call any of the artists involved with Merciful "7th rate losers".
We'll see what people think of the next few songs, I suppose.

don't worry hon, you were young and innocent back then :wink:

there's so much stuff being said about :von: that it's hard to tell whether any of it has (at least) a shred of truth :|
thank you for your compliments :notworthy:

Indeed, once took a tasty dose of heroin by accident thinking it was the good stuff... I was young and niave.. :oops:
thinking it was the good stuff = young and niave

so the good stuff would have made you mature and wise :eek:

The UK classifications are ridiculous though. Check out this on wikipedia: Rational scale to assess the harm of drugs (Based on data published in The Lancet)

As an example, LSD is class A but less harmful or addictive than many class B (amphetamines), class C (barbiturates) or even legal (alcohol, tobacco) drugs.
The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.

well i havent time to read that at the mo but will take your word - i don't think the current laws are right and i didnt think it would help when they down scaled marg, but i don't think anything would solve problems caused by use.

Those can just as easily be applied to my own band. Though I'm quite aware of that.

We are Korrosiv, an industrial music group. We put out a noisy album, covered a James Ray song, then things got a bit confusing. Now we're releasing a new single and writing new material.

And cheers, Nate. That's one of my favourite Korrosiv songs, been played at all but one gig.
