Autoluminescent: Rowland S. Howard

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.

I have just watched Autoluminescent the bio-pic on Rowland S. Howard (a very lovely, extremely clever man who also made outstanding music).
This is a wonderful film, and you really do get the sense of him.
For those who are not aware of his story, sadly Rowly died on 30/12/2009. I cried tonight as much as I did that night.

RIP Rowly you are immortal.

Saw Those Immortal Souls support Sonic Youth and they were superb.

"I'm never gonna die again" is one of my favorite albums.

I would recomend it for any one who loves the Birthday Party or Nick Cave and the Bad Seedes, unfortunatly it seems to be only available at over £150 quid at the moment.

One of those rare occasions where I would recomend downlowing it.
