While nothing new ever happens...

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.

Honestly, I've long passed the point where I care.

If Von wants my interest, he can:

1) Play within 1 mile of my home (I'm no longer willing to travel to see the Law of Diminishing Returns Roadshow).

2) Put out a record.

And doing 2) would drastically alter the calculus that gives rise to 1) above.

My, it sure would be nice if he played within Stumbling-Home-Drunk-Distance from the house.
...and some of us wandered off entirely on purpose.

Don't know if this has already been posted (aeons ago), but it's in the live news source code:

<!--
<BR><BR>
<SPAN STYLE="color:#FF9933">
<B>Note to support bands: &nbsp;</B>
We've changed our European <NOBR>concert-booking</NOBR> agent,
to enhance our side of the <NOBR>promoter-checking</NOBR> process,
but if you're a band and you plan to share our stage,
<B>check with the promoter whether he should have asked us about it,</B>
and check that he actually <B>did</B> ask us about it.
&nbsp; &nbsp;
<BR>
This applies to everybody, but most particularly to support bands
from a galaxy far, far away
at the sad end of the musical spectrum. No surprises there.
&nbsp; &nbsp;
<BR>
The only surprise is the recent and remarkably inventive whining
of fuckwits who think that
dodgy darklings have some <NOBR>god-given</NOBR> right to
hijack a Sisters gig merely by alerting their closest neighbours,
surprising us at a soundcheck and
(reluctantly) letting us hear their (naturally) bad CD,
five hours before showtime.

Oh, that old thing. That's been there for years now.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.
