Radio 6 goth noticeboard
Mr Chris, Belfast
Goth was really a load of bunk, though it was fun while it lasted. Another excuse for men to wear makeup and jangly jewellery, and they don't come around often enough. Seriously, though, the great crime of the whole concept of goth, particularly as perpetuated by lazy music journalists, has been to hinder the career of one of the truly great rock bands of our time: The Sisters of Mercy. Any one of their LPs is worth more than all the lacklustre bandwagonjumping tat that called itself Goth. Speaking of which, when is Andrew Collins going to write a biography of Andrew Eldritch? It's your duty, man!
Andrew Collins, not-very-Gothic Reigate, Surrey
Like I've got time to write an Eldritch biography, Mr Chris! If only . . . (Someone should do it - a true visionary, and a very funny man to boot. The only interviewee we've had in the Teatime studio who made us turn the webcam off. Cool. I used to think, as an impressionable young teen, that the Sisters wrote Gimme Shelter.)

wierd.
today's "lost album" album was unknown pleasures. floodland is tomorrow
incidentally, it was "shadowplay" that won the voting and was played as "the track from the lost album"...

Wow! I'm famous! Andrew Collins replied to my message! Okay, he rejected the idea, but I think I may have at least sown a seed...

Hey, a second thought - if loads of you good Heartland citizens add your support, he might seriously think about it...

a sisters biography or an eldritch autobiography?
i dont think we need another sisters biography, and as much as i like mr collins i reckon eldo is more than capable of writing his own
and i dont think he'd speak to mr collins anymore after keep calling them a goth band on the 6music "goth week" thing

I noticed on the interview he did on 6 music, Andrew Collins was really really into the whole thing. I even got the impression (to a dergree) that Eldritch 'liked' Collins.

I'd rather have the Sisters played on the radio under any guise than not. I think Collins is quite clued up about the whole thing.
I just emailed Andrew imploring him some more, and he sent a very nice message back, saying he's sadly too busy writing a sequel to 'where did it all go right?', and didn't feel up to being Eldritch's Boswell at the moment. Busy schmusy. I have numerous jobs to do right now, but it doesn't stop me posting inane message here instead, does it?
