I notice a coaster set (to put beers on

) just on ebay, 4 items for about 30€.
Is this an official MR item?
Any info (lost the link)

I'd say it's a home made item, never heard of an official MR coaster, any other views???

I'd be inclined to agree - I bought some similar coasters a while back, definitely had a "home-made" feel to them. I feel a bit ripped off, to be honest - the coasters were made from some 7" single called "I did some damage" (or something like that). I tried playing it and it sounded complete pants, nothing like the Sisters I was a familiar with.

Do you really think

would sanction coaster production?
He'll be doing Sisters baby-gro's and beach towels next.

Well, didn't he say once that they were a t-shirt band that occassionaly puts out records? Onesies, bibs, blankies and Mr. Eldritch Sippy-Cups seems like a logical brand-stretching progression.
And don't tell me that you types with kids wouldn't send The Wee'un off to kindergarten with the Floodland lunchbox if it was available!

Considering they were sold by someone who normally only sell overpriced CD-bootlegs (including the homemade one limited to 10 copies) I take for granted that the coasters are unofficial as well.

Very correct, buy it nows for 50€...
The coasters look nice, I liked them (damage done and body electric)

looks nice is right, But not for this price. you can make your own in a lot of shops. You just need the logo or picture and than you can print it on nearly everything.
But: a floodland lunchbox would be fine....

I have a Sisters coaster...
In my defence it was a present (from somebody else!).
