Interesting.......

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.

From the m*****n facebook:


We are very pleased to announce that In April 2016, Wayne will be playing a handful of European shows (dates below) to promote the release of a limited edition double A side 7 ‘’ vinyl single on Eyes Wide Shut Recordings in conjunction with Record Store Day. The single features Wayne’s stunning and haunting re-working of the classic Sisters Of Mercy song, Marian, a song originally co-written by Wayne with Andrew Eldritch.
The other A side is a brand new song entitled ‘My Love Will Protect You’, a song that was co-written by Wayne with Rebeca Y. Casanova as part of the Canciones De Cuna benefit album. The lyrics for the album are all written by homeless children in Buenos Aires, Argentina, which are then worked into songs by established national and international artists and recorded as an album of lullabies, all proceeds going to help finance culture centres in Buenos Aires that offer art, music, theatre, and photography classes to homeless children

........Marianne, re-recorded by Wayne - you KNOW its going to be good.

Studio Time you see, the key to any good band, dont get me wrong I went to the Karaoke Sing Along in Manchester last year, usual fodder, whats missing though?

Simple, Studio Product.

And before anyone starts, yes Wayne is putting out an OLD song he wrote, but he's also put out a s**t load of STUDIO albums over the last 30 years, so is allowed the odd reflection on history.....

Any news on what Eldo is doing for Record Store Day???

Re-installing ZORK I'd imagine.

Pray Tell, where is the Official Sisters Forum? ah - sorry forgot Eldo is not interested in anything any fan has to say, hence the gap in the T'internet....

Quiffy set this up to fill the void that the Band failed to. Simple As.

Guys i'm not trolling here, I loved that moment in time when The Girls shone, but that glimmer was too brief.......

Definitely not the volume of traffic. I'm a longtime member of MWIS, and latterly the forum was dead and the main topic of conversation was "where is everyone?" (Answer: Facebook and Twitter. Most forums are dead these days as people have migrated to social media. Heartland's far more active than most in my experience.) There's definitely still interest in the Mish, but closing the forum was nothing to do with volume of traffic... unless you mean lack of volume.
Any more of that and we'll be round your front door with the quick-setting whitewash and the shaved monkey.

Reads an awful lot like you are at the very least trying to push people's buttons and get a reaction.

You're actually allowed like either, both or neither band without indulging in petty squabbling rivalry, you know.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Yes, but for a quantity to have quality the quantity has to be greater than zero. :wink:

Amen

Zero being 1 new song every two years(on average) for the last 25 years. Nothing wrong if that's what he wants but people please don't compare him to working artist like Hussey etc

Is it? Isn't it just the "tolerated by them cos they don't really care either way" forum?
