Heartland

Heyas
I was just looking for some old review I once saw, some kind of "what hasn't been told" from the 80's alternative scene, and came across this article:

It's rubbish but there are some curious moments, anyways, just sharing with fellow heartlanders


By the way, does anyone know/knows where to find this other article? I can't remember much of it, but I do remember one passage where the author said "Peter Murphy wasn't much into to drug, but there was definately something wrong with him." Or something along those lines...

Not too bad, methinks.

"eldritch doesn't mean wizard.

Oh, for the days when journalists actually spoke their own native tongue...

The Sisters Of Mercy: Amphetamine Logic

This stark, driving track defines the Sisters' oeuvre and sums up Andrew Eldritch's cod-vampiric lifestyle: "Nothing but the knife to live for."

I know! Erm, the clue is in the title...

Cod vampiric.

What does that even mean? I assumed it was some sort of British colloquialism ("cod-vampiric" that is). Judging by the reaction I'm guessing it's not, and I'm now imagining vampiric fish.

The similarities are unmistakable.

Looks more like Dave Vanian to me.
