Hello, rediscovering TSOM all over again

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.

Hi

I'm new here just saying "hi".

As the title says I've been rediscovering TSOM lately. I have my mother who is 80 plus to thank for this. She went into a nursing home a while back and it's been my task to sort through all her things bit by bit. Among the tonnes of possessions she had was a box of old records. Being a devout woman she was careful to keep anything that was religious so there was a selection worthy of Fr. Ted of masses in different languages, papal speeches, Gregorian Chants and singing clergy. In the middle of these was my battered old copy of FALAA which she obviously thought was by the other Sisters in the habits and veils. I hadn't heard it in so long it was a joy to find it.

As I have no turntable anymore I managed to track down the CD compilation and get back into the Sisters all over again and I am appreciating them more now than ever. Even my teenage son "doesn't mind " them which is actually code for high praise from him. No sign of my Floodland album though but the new boxsets will be on the Christmas list along with a new turntable.

Sacred music indeed :D

I also thought The Sisters were good catholic girls. I have yet to be proven otherwise.
And you know that she's half crazy but that's why you want to be there.

I was a good Catholic girl once, it's overrated 😃
Of course, if it's catholic with a small "c" you mean well that would be a different matter entirely 😉
