Simon Pegg, and the Sisters.

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.

Wow! I hope the soundtrack guy is as good as the one on the clothes - although it would seem Simon might have had some influence...

In Pegg's autobiography (now available at a Poundland near you) he explains that he fell in love with a goth girl when at college and ended up going to see the Neffs etc with her. Obviously pining for her in middle age.

I like how its 'I started listening to The Smiths/The Cure' then 'Sisters, Neph, Bauhaus' as if the The Smiths/Cure are some sort of gateway band to the darker materials haha

Very. At the start of 1987 I was listening to soundtrack LP's at 13. By the end of the year I was nutsdeep in "Floodland."

There are a couple of possible Sisters references in Spaced (written by and starring Jessica Stevenson and Simon Pegg).

Tim (Pegg's character) invents a comic character called Doktor Mandrake “...it's Doktor with a 'K'.�

There is also a black clad evil scientist in a hat in one episode called James Eldritch/Eldridge.

“The End Of The World� sounds like fun.

...who never takes his sunglasses off! But then he also plans to cut up a litter of kittens which is where the comparison ends.

Both of these bits you've mentioned always brought The Sisters to mind when I was watching Spaced, but I didn't really think it was intentional until I saw Pegg in that t-shirt.

I was very fond of Spaced etc. when I was a teenager (and I still am, actually) so it's very nice to see these two things I've loved for years crashing together.
