New Post Punk Magazine

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.

Interesting link, and the mock up page of their interview with Peter Murphy suggests that he was inspired by the same TOTP performance of Starman as :von: was.

Everyone from that era says the same thing.
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity

Really ? With the Pistols, NY Dolls, Velvets, Doors, Bolan and all the other icons out there, that one performance changed everything for everyone ? I'd always assumed it was just a :von: thing.

No Pistols in 1973

Exactly.
This is Post Punk, which would infer anything after 1978.
:D

Was he?
Where did it say that?
I thought he was talking about a TOTP performance.

Just read the Wikipedia entry on Starman and it would seem that I was wrong. As @Moses suggests, stating that this TOTP performance was a turning point in becoming a Bowie fan has become a bit of a cliche. As for the Pistols, I was referring to anything prior to :von: forming a band that might have been an inspiration -it just so happened that the rest were contemporaneous with Ziggy.
