John Peel's Festive 50

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

If the Sisters get off their arses this year and record a brand new session for Peely they could end up in the Festive 50 next Christmas...

If I could, I would fly a plane into that Tokyo Hotel (but I'd make sure Avril Latrine was on board at the time)

Aye true, though I only just noticed Pista necro'd this thread from 2003. Still any year it doesn't deserve a mention, just glad it was chosen by the heathen masses and not the great man himself.

Last I heard she was doing an album of her career, just after she sued Floyd & EMI for royalties.
