And it's been twenty five years...

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.

1. No, that's not me other words ...

2. songs I should love to death? ... I love Andrew more and better than his songs, and probably to death, but this is of entirely no concern.

3. excitation ... so that's what YOU miss? I don't think so ...

Anyway Bartek, how's your sweet white darling these days?
Now that you're working and so on? Any directions?

Indeed. The first Sisters record I bought. I think Jumbo Records must have sold out of Alice on that day. Music to fall asleep by with the noise of the Phono still ringing in my ears. I still prefer a quickstep with the idiot children though.
