Heyas
I was just looking for some old review I once saw, some kind of "what hasn't been told" from the 80's alternative scene, and came across this article:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2006/sep/29/popandrock
It's rubbish but there are some curious moments, anyways, just sharing with fellow heartlanders
By the way, does anyone know/knows where to find this other article? I can't remember much of it, but I do remember one passage where the author said "Peter Murphy wasn't much into to drug, but there was definately something wrong with him." Or something along those lines...
Interesting article on g*th culture

The Sisters Of Mercy: Amphetamine Logic
This stark, driving track defines the Sisters' oeuvre and sums up Andrew Eldritch's cod-vampiric lifestyle: "Nothing but the knife to live for."

Cod vampiric.
The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.

What does that even mean? I assumed it was some sort of British colloquialism ("cod-vampiric" that is). Judging by the reaction I'm guessing it's not, and I'm now imagining vampiric fish.

The most successful tyranny is not the one that uses force to assure uniformity but the one that removes the awareness of other possibilities, that makes it seem inconceivable that other ways are viable, that removes the sense that there is an outside.
