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.
at the time, a 10 best things interview, he said he had two copies, as anything that good should be owned twice ~ something like that anyway
If I remember, it was that he had the record (not sure about two) even though he didn't have a record player. Despite that, he felt it was important to own the artefact as the song was, in his view, so good.

Being brave is coming home at 2am half drunk, smelling of perfume, climbing into bed, slapping the wife on the arse and saying,"right fatty, you're next!!"

Could I have a ruling please.
You really need a ruling?!
...or wait, are you being facetious? Sorry, I can't tell.
Lords of the New Church are post-punk. Right? But since Stiv is dead, maybe that makes them goth? It is a mystery.
On topic: 1/3 to 1/2 of Ray Wylie Hubbard's output in the last 15 years. And the entirety of Javi Garcia's first record, A Southern Horror.
