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.
Stand-Up Open Mic in Vienna tonight. Well, actually it started two minutes ago, but my set isn't finished, so I guess I'll saunter in at some later point and hope there's still room.

Saw the Raveonettes in Vienna last year. Yup, definitely awesome ^^ (not so much the audience, who preferred to chat and do stuff with their incredibly bright phone screens.)

Just like to make a comment here,last Friday went to see Autobahn in Wakefield at a venue called the Hop. Brilliant venue, and a great gig may I add,now there's about 4 bars inside the venue, and a gig was going on downstairs , seperate to the main event, free in may I add, and the Hop is 5 minutes back
to Wakefield to the Westgate rail station, so easy to get back to Leeds on a night out. The manager even took the trouble to give the changed train times back to Leeds on the Leeds music forum for that particular night. Sorry for going on a bit , but thought the manager of the Hop deserved some credit for his effort for the Autobahn gig night.
I go to gigs, and if there is any money left, I eat

Any advice on what I should listen to of theirs in the meantime gratefully accepted as I don't really know them..
There are so many albi to choose from, but as we're in the new millenium now anyway I'd suggest to pick one of the latest: The Seer and/or To Be Kind. Either of those will prepare you best for the gig. I for one LOVE Swans and have seen them a handfull of times over the years (last time was in september) and was never less than completely blown away!
I was gonna go see Briqueville tonight, but have to cancel because sick at home

Check out the last 3 records: My Father Will Guide Me Up a Rope to the Sky, The Seer, and To Be Kind. But honestly there's a chance nothing they play will have been put out on a record yet.
also: Bring earplugs, and enjoy. They're amazing live. You can feel them in your bones.
