Where are you off to? Enquiring minds need to know

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.

Swans next Friday, and then Heliung a few days after that. Next show on the calendar is The Chisel/Home Front/CMI. They're playing at an expensive new-ish waterfront development in DC and I can't imagine what the crowd will be like. Government lawyers cosplaying as working-class I'd guess.

Heilung were phenomenal. I kind of wavered on going, but I'm glad I did.

Swans I've seen three or four times before, and they've always blown me away. Not this time. I never thought I'd describe a Swans gig as boring, but this was f**king boring. The ratio of brilliance to art-wank was far too heavy on the art-wank. Most of the night sounded like an orchestra tuning up punctuated by occasional and all-too-brief moments of sublime power and beauty. Profoundly disappointing, since I know how good they can be. It was so bad I actually left early.

Technically he should be doing a short set. In drag.

Have a grand time mate.
There is increasing evidence to suggest that Chris may have been being sarcastic.
