Contractual reasons for not releasing "new" materi

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.

If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Lucretia recently appeared on the Barnes & Noble exclusive CD "After Dark".

Here is the number stateside to contact iTunes to set up distribution through them:
(408) 974-0880

Starbucks and iTunes do a weekly "Pick of the week" which includes small business card sized cards that have a download code.

Starbucks Contact address for media and such is as follows:
Customer Service
StarbucksStore.com
4086 Del Rey Avenue
Marina Del Rey, CA 90292

Currently attempting to contact Rhino UK and Barnes & Noble for recent sales figures of the 2006 re-releases and that aforementioned "After Dark" CD.

I will also be pursuing the manager of the Musical Score for the upcoming "Twilight" sequel as well as the upcoming Street Fighter and Transformers sequel (no not Revenge of The Fallen, the third movie) to see if there would be any interest in Crash and Burn, Romeo Down (might be a fit for Twilight) or Arms.

Where there is a will there is a way. Chris alluded to distribution and production being huge stumbling blocks.

It's time to think outside of the box.

Obviously at least one finished studio produced single to shop around would help...

After Dark

A friend of mine at work (who I got listening to First and Last and Always) swore to me he heard Sisters at BN, but when I asked him what song he said he didn't know - but he just knew it was them. I figured he must have been mistaken - I will have to tell him that he was right!

8) Maybe not, but apparently it is possible to change the meaning of any word ...
as we could observe lately and worldwide ... 8)

One example is the word "reform" ... :evil:
which is nowadays being used in quite a different way from a few years ago ...

AND: before that ... "reform" was something very sought-after for decades ...

I, for one, would like to take back 'goth' from the wankers. :evil: Mr E didn't have issues with it out the outset - and by any scale in use at the time, he qualified. It's what it's been turned into that's caused all the backlash, and I'm totally behind it - despite being an Unrepentant Wearer Of Black myself. :wink:

unfortunately it is like any label in that after a while it just doesn't work. thats the trouble, things change, come and go and so do people, music and fashion. i wonder actually whether any label works forever because of this. even two goths wouldn't neccessarily look at each other and agree on everything!

Same reason non-straights wanted to take back 'queer', and non-Wiccans want to take back 'witch', and...oh, I could go on and on. But I won't. :wink:

It had a meaning that was not representative of something annoying/repulsive/pathetic. In many people's opinions, anyway. Possibly not yours, but in that case it doesn't make any difference one way or the other, does it? :roll:

as soon as you get there, they'll find one for you, anyway ...

As Von stated early into the decade, 'The Grandfather of Goth' title annually earns him up to approximately £150,000.

One can't complain too much. :innocent:

Pretty good compilation considering 8)

In reference to Prescott's post about movie soundtrack licensing I have no objection to the girls songs being used for movies I won't be watching as I will not be listening either :lol:

I had a hand on the gun
I had a place in the sun and a ticket to Syria
