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.
Well I never. I was quite a Poppies fan back in the day, but never knew there was any link between them and Pat.
I've got the (re-issued) CD that this track is from on my desk here (co-incidence, huh). Adam writes:
"We played 'Cicciolina' on Top Of The Pops, accompanied by Dan the Neds Aromic Distbin drummer, Patricia Morrison from the Sisters of Mercy on 'sampled' vocal and Eddie, Richard's best man from his wedding who once owned a trumpet. Well, why not?"
There other songs are similar - although that one had a novelty flavour about it.
They had a plan to get Cicciolina (an Italian politician/porn star) to present the World Cup at Italia '90 and this song was an attempt to persuade the world that this was a good idea.
PWEI are a reminder of how many of the Girls' early contemporaries were adept at genre switching to ride the latest trend.
The Poppies were purveyors of a decent brand of Buzzcocks inspired pop punk before some idiot at RCA gave them a sampler and they became the cartoon clubber end of grebo - just as The Shamen put out a brilliant album of psychedelic pop before all that E-inspired sequencer stuff, and Primal Scream sounded like JAMC before getting a Weatherall makeover. At least SSV never got an official release.
There's so many places I could go with that, and none of them are for the faint of heart Although I hear that Fat Pat is less "Beaver Patrol" and more "Growler Prowler"...

You do? As I remember it the person claiming to be The Sugar-Frosted One was roundly drubbed and hasn't been seen in these parts since - after all, posting threats in an online forum is possibly the lowest form of life.
And for the record, I'm not bald. I could stand to lose a few pounds, though.

It's usually the least likely to be mistaken for Adonis reincarnate like males who comment on a womans weight. My father was very fond of it, despite being asked to play Father Christmas for the kids at the works party!
I seem to remember a lot of people didnt question her identity, more her daring to be angry at some of the comments made. As if they'd take a thread dedicated to calling them lardarse with a jolly smile..
