Oh no...another G book (old)

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.

That's not a bad book, to be honest. Of course playing the goffik rokk angle is cheap and easy, and it does attribute far too much credit for basically anything that's happened in the past 35-odd years to Iggy's The Idiot, but overall it's quite an interesting read.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

I might be wrong but I seem to recall that Dave Thompson (author of that book) posted on here a couple of times? Damned if I can remember his screen name though :lol:

I have a copy of this book, unfortunately most of the material on the Sisters is recycled detritus from articles and interviews you can easily find on the web.

I was surprised not to hear the tread of Baxcorp Heavies in the hallway...
