Sisters Radio 1

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.

Apparently, (according to a reliable source), the Sisters version of Comfortably Numb was played today on the Jo Whiley show on R1 - to mixed reviews (surprise)......anyone else able to confirm this?

If it did happen it was either through some good fortune or perhaps something is afoot.... :twisted:

Just had a search through the Radio 1 site and can't find a playlist for Jo's shows.

Live or Studio? That is the question. The games afoot Watson!!! That no-good Professor Moriarty (was that his name? I can't remember, can someone enlighten me?) would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for those damn kids.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Hmm, it'd be interesting whatever version was played.

live version - to my knowledge there's never been a Sisters live track played on the radio, EVER (this doesn't include sessions, i mean live from a gig)

or

studio - F@CKING HELL!

sorry to be the bearer of bad tideings but this just didnt happen.
Radio 1 is on all day at work and I certainly didnt hear it, and I've been through the whole site looking just incase i missed it - zip.

In fact the last time the Sisters where on radio 1 was on some bloke called Mark D's show, and Lucretia was played (the record that is)

Seeking clarification I've just emailed the lovely Ms Whiley. If she or one of her researchers responds I'll let you know. :von:

More anorak research has revealed that all this week she's been running a 'Soundtrack Of Our Lives' series. Record your ten fave tracks on CD, do the artwork, stick it in a jewel case and send it in. She would then on a daily basis pick one at random (yeh, right) and play five tracks. If only we'd known in advance we could have bombarded her with 300 Sisters complilations! :D

Ooooooh yes, especially if we limited it to the new stuff. Now that would have been so good!!!

Ah well - seems it was not then....
and thanks for the research carried out - perhaps Ms Whiley can be convinced now that she knows the Sisters exist :twisted:

I think she's quite nice really. She can't help looking like Zelda from the Terrahawks.
