When Von went to great pains to stress that the Sisters are NOT a goth band, it seems he wasn't kidding...

ImageThis has just hit the shops. all your favourite indie classics from the likes of the Happy Mondays, James, the Charlatans, Oasis and, halfway through side two... THIS CORROSION by THE SISTERS OF MERCY!!!

Not sure how they came to the conclusion that Von and Patsy were an 'indie' combo, especially since they were signed to East West at the time.

What next? The sisters on a 'MOTOWN GOLDEN GREATS' compilation????!?

Indie doesn't mean "On an independent label" any more. Not since Kylie and Jason kept topping the Indie charts as PWL was officially an independent :lol:

So the word Indie has been co-opted to mean whatever the genre-fascists at NME want it to mean.

Your penchant for useless trivia is phenominal. :notworthy:

I therefore officially request that the powers that be change your post ranking and you should now be classified as Rainman ... :innocent:

Hmmm, sounds like a good compilation, in a retro kind of way...

Maybe the ten bob he'll earn from the royalties will help finance the DVD. Maybe the twenty bob he earns from the royalties from the DVD will help finance the album. Maybe the thirty bob he earns from the album will help finance...
