Official Record News 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.

has anyone yet noticed that clicking "RECORD NEWS" on the official site takes you to a peculiar new page??

http://www.thesistersofmercy.com/error404page.html

at first i thought it was leading to a link where one might have free access to a new album. but that's not Von's style.

any guesses?

That page is ancient...but not easy to arrive at, unless you know the secret. :wink:

the page that is there now is the old "page not found" error page (aka the 404 page)

you could previously view the 404 page by typing in any incorrect address, eg:

http://www.thesistersofmercy.com/fhdskjh

there are a great many threads & posts on here describing what that cryptic retro-computer-game spiel means.

try this one for starters:

http://www.myheartland.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=18710

essentially its a rather elaborate in-joke with references to london, manchester and liverpool.

the fact that the 404 page now appears when you click record news means that they have removed the record news page.

read into that what you will... :|

By now shouldn't we have a thread containing links to all of the other threads that go over this stuff for the umpteenth time?
Any more of that and we'll be round your front door with the quick-setting whitewash and the shaved monkey.
