Easy Livin'

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.

Given the lack of new material, does this imply that Von is financially secure enough to get by on the odd tour.....

or will the need to put bread on the table encourage him to get his arse in gear re some new material

Remember, he is an international man of mystery, so who knows really?Besides I guess it's really none of our business how anyone we're not intimate with is doing financially speaking, is it? Just my honest opinion.

I merely hope that he leaves his estate, The Sisters of Mercy included, in good hands and with instructions on how to release the
27 Million Brontobytes* of recorded material to us humble fans one day.
Until such time, live long and prosper, Von and the Sisters. 8)

*1024 Bytes = 1 Kilobyte
1024 Kilobytes = 1 Megabyte
1024 Megabytes = 1 Gigabyte
1024 Gigabytes = 1 Terabyte
1024 Terabytes = 1 Petabyte
1024 Petabytes = 1 Exabyte - (In 2000, 3 exabytes of information was created.)
1024 Exabytes = 1 Zettabyte
1024 Zettabyte = 1 Zottabyte
1024 Zottabyte = 1 Brontobyte - (that is a 1 followed by 27 zeroes)

:lol:

Have to admit have wondered about the 'legacy' and whether we'll all be running down to the shops (not that they'll sell music by then) with our pensions (ditto) to finally hear the bloody things.

And that's if I can convince my dodgy smokers lungs to outlast his.
Om began to feel the acute depression that steals over every realist in the presence of an optimist.

If that's the case, why do we even need words for anything bigger? It's gonna be an entire milennium before that much information even exists - let them make up their own words on their way to work in their hover shoes.

Oh, hang on. At the rate computer technology is advancing, we'll probably all have 100 exabyte hard drives by next week!
