Von on Twitter (and Hi)

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.

Hi, my first post, though I've been admiring and using this site for a couple of years now. I only signed up yesterday.

As it says on the tin: is Andy on Twitter? There's a lot of accounts that use his name, but I'll be honest, he seems the type to give the finger to social networking in his next liner notes... But the chance to hear words from his demi-godly mouth is reason enough for hope.

If Von's on Twitter (big "if") it would be for something completely unrelated to the Sisters (8-bit programming, or western philosophy between 1432 and 1584 would be reasonable guesses) and under a totally different name.

Welcome, by the way. :D
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Hello and welcome, drivensnow!
There are also FB accounts that use his name, I think, but they haven't got anything to do with him. Unfortunately ;)

Ah shame. It seems obvious now other people have said it that of course he would never be on there. I only use it to get HL and Trent Reznor updates :P

Thank you for the warm welcome by the way!

Yeah, it's a shame! Though Twitter confuses me. But wouldn't object to FB or a nice blog. Whenever I see old clippings where he wrote something it was hilarious. I'm sure whatever it is that is on his mind these days, it would be fun to read.

Andy has made it clear in interviews that he doesn't hold with all this Web 2.0 nonsense. Note that the Sisters website is still in static HTML without CSS and proud of it. To paraphrase Homer Simpson, it is scientifically proven that digital technology reached perfection in 2001. ;)

That's just what I thought! And a blog would be nice.

This is true, and the website does have a certain charm. "You're here anyway."

It's probably the combination of Aruban beer and benzodiazepine (I honestly just wanted to get tired and go to sleep), but this blog really got me questioning everything said about AE not participating in any online community. I apologize in advance for sharing this information, apparantly I've got a hidden talent for insulting my fellow human beings without knowing what the offensive part actually was.

Anyway, can any of you make sense of this? My browser displays cyrillic symbols for reply options and titles, followed by blog entries in Dutch.

I stumbled upon it while googling the german original of "Het ergste moet nog komen" by Schopenhauer.

I also apologize for any spelling errors made.
