Sisters of Mercy radio special

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.

I'll be doing a one hour radio special on The Sisters of Mercy. This show will air Thursday 17th of January on Belgium's Radio Scorpio (Leuven 106.0 FM) at 21h00.
Although it's obviously a challenge to overview their history in one hour, I'm sure it'll be an interesting show, also thanks to the material and information gathered from this place. So thanks to you all for this.
I'll post the playlist afterwards and try to record the show - hosted in Flemish (Dutch) - and maybe put it online if it's worth it.

For those who have no clue what I'm talking about, our radio show Kagan was the one who held interviews with Ahrayeph and For Greater Good a year ago.
I like these calm little moments before the storm. It reminds me of Beethoven. Can you hear it? It's like when you put your head to the grass and you can hear the growin' and you can hear the insects.

Great! Would be nice if you could record and upload it somewhere because I don't have access to a radio when it aired.

it'll be the first time i'll be using mp3's during the show, which means handling a pc next to cd and record players, so your enthousiasm is making me a bit nervous... it means we'll actually have a listener :oops:
if i don't forget, i can record the live show in our studio. and if the result is not too hard to listen to, i'll make it available here.

Although I didn't like it at all, I've taped this show myself and put it online here.
:urff:
But watch out, this is a one hour show so the file is 106.87 MB.

To be quite precise, it's not me you hear, it's our host Filip. But I don't remember him talking about cars :D
Tell me in which part of the show you think you've heard this, and I'll try to remember what he actually said :wink:
