Blair Cowan's comments on the recording of 'Charlotte Street' from the recently re-issued Rattlesnakes anniversary type thing:

"What I remember about this is where and when we mixed it. The album was recorded in Shoreditch in East London and mixed in a residential studio in a small village near Reading. The Sisters of Mercy were in the same studio and on a scorching summer afternoon we played them at tennis. We were in shorts, t-shirts and trainers and they wore Cuban heels, black drain pipes, black polo necks, black everything.
They beat us."

Good guys wear black

I'm sorry, but I cannot imagine Von playing tennis is drainpipes and cuban heels. I'm really trying, but I can't. Even when he fenced I think he had the good sense to wear white. Cool anecdote!

I've played cricket in my drainpipes and cuban heels (back in the day)

Hair loss.

That was the first thing that came to my mind, actually.

...they've bleached what's left of their hair, drink like water buffaloes, are questionable drummers and notorious pricks. And short. So they've got more in common than you'd think.

Ah Rattlesnakes is a great album and song. And it has the line ' She looks like Eve Marie Saint in On the Waterfront as she reads Simone de Beauvoir in her American circumstance'. Proper pretension!

Speaking of Lars... I see Loutallica has an album coming out soon... that's Lou Reed & Metallica, if you hadn't heard.

Yeap, a bit curious about that one as well, two things I can't be bothered with nowadays might just make the right combination to do some fireworks!

IZ.

Andrew "played" the drums on The Damage Done single before a stylistic rethink after Craig & Dr Avalanche answered the "Musician's Wanted" advert

if he was a drummer, then he is still drummer (not active but still one)
