Heartland

Hi!
I thought that instead of minor derailments of other threads, I should, perhaps, create my own... I mean, it's not as if I've already made 30 posts or anything...

Rather embarrassingly, I only got into the Sisters via The World's End, because before that I mainly associated them with teenage memories (ca. early Naughties) of their songs getting played at goth* clubs and all the old goths making faces and refusing to dance. I used to think that was because they've heard the songs a thousand times before, but reading 's comments on goths, I think there may have been a different reason (either that or the lack of releases since... '93?)

(For the record, I wouldn't consider myself a goth, despite the overwhelming amount of black clothes in my wardrobe. I like rock'n'roll... and I have never participated in the sacking of a Roman city.)

Oh, by the way, I've got a question: should I, as a newbie, join the birthday wishes threads? It feels like something only done by/for members who've already been around for a while, but I don't want to be rude, either.

*g***?

Join every thread you like

Welcome & enjoy.

BTW. First sign of gothdam.

You goth

I tend to just post on birthday threads for people I've met in meatspace for what it's worth. But yeah, post where you like, no-one's going to be offended.

Ola!

Welcome to the neo-golden age
Welcome to the days you've made

Wrong band but you get the gist

evening.
post what you like, everyone else does :p

Hi there.

Have you answered The Question yet?

Ehehehe. Yes, the old trap... or am I just denying it to confirm it? (Spoiler: I am not. Or am I?)

Noooo I haven't!

where's the spotlight, lads?

oh oh oh my turn.

You could be the one. Yes? No? And weeeelcome

The song: I didn't know about that! Still working my way through the albums. The lyrics are both amusing (as usual) and gosh, kinda... mean. And probably the most transparent I've heard/read so far.

In general: Yes. Probably.

Cheers ^^

Ok, with that yes we are at about 85-87% yes to 13-15% No

as pista/steve says: join what threads you like. certainly when it comes to birthday threads, wishing someone a happy birthday doesnt matter if you know them personally beforehand or not.

** as someone who starts a lot of birthday threads- due to the hours i keep and not because i am a collosal arse-licker- may i just say i tend to stick to anyone who is (or has been ) a regular poster, and not just any old kitchen outfit. so fuck you jameswherever you are.

But: is the question about the song? Or anyone's own interpretation?
Also: Is that a real screenshot? Because if it is, that is definitely an episode of PoM I have to watch...

Or the truly enlightened ones? I can't tell, I'm sticking with "yes"
Well, I was mainly trying to stop the merch thread from derailing into "oooh look, fresh meat" territory (alternatively, "look! I'm new! Ain't I fabulous!" territory).

All cleared up about the birfday threads!

No worries it is just a forum's tradition. No personal interpretation there is an active vote that settled any argument in the rightful place.

This is a real photoshoped image that was used to make a report to the studio with the request to the creators to use SoM on the upcoming movie's OST in a couple of months If you watch the movie and there is a Sisters of Mercy - Train 2014 Remix in a Train Chase scene with all Penguins wear shades you must know from now that it was not me

I have very mixed emotions about it. It's definitely incredibly well made (but then I love Edgar Wright's style), and Simon Pegg's acting is phenomenal (that isn't to say the other actors weren't great, too). And it's very thought-provoking; I couldn't stop thinking about it for weeks afterwards. I think the only things I'm not happy with is the lack of women and the ending.

I can definitely recommend watching it once. (sorry if this seems disjointed; I spent most of the day being the central node of conference calling/texting trying to sort out a flat, beyond repair tyre on the car that me and some friends are on holiday with)

You went on holiday with a car?
Where on earth is it sleeping?

I tend to call dibs on the non-window side... (it's a rental car. Brain = toast)

I thought the car slept in a flat
