The most twisted thing you've done to a Sisters soundtrack?

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

Okay, I know there's likely to have been plenty of them, but which is the weirdest of all? :twisted:
.... there is no semblance of rock 'n roll around here!

Does masturbation count as "weird" and "twisted", or is it something everybody on this forum does? :D
What about suicidal attempts? Painting that just can't go right without those sounds? Lonely walks at night in the middle of nowhere? Are these things weird? I don't think so.

I once walked home with Floodland playing on my MP3 player.

and I once did a 15 metre cliff jump with Kiss the Carpet going through my mind.

I taught my kids, 12+8, to sing and dance along with the chorus to This Corrosion. Oh the shame.

And installed a new light-fitting in the bathroom with the chorus of Body Electric racing through my head.
Loki was never worshiped as the other Gods,
Which is quite understandable.

No, they're pretty f***ing GAWF though! :P ;D

Stood on the top deck of the Hull to Zeebrugge ferry with my friend with This Corrosion on the walkman, singing at the top of our voices. I was only 15, you'll forgive me.

Sat at 3 in the morning on my bed beside an open window, holding an incense stick (didn't want to set the smoke alarm off). :roll: Guess it kind of defeats the purpose if all the smoke goes out the window, but I'm really dense. That was only a few weeks ago... :oops:

got totally mindless on lager and queued for my flight to Corfu with The Wake version of Knocking On Heaven's Door blasting out from a rather large Panasonic Brixton Briefcase much to my then g/f's chagrin and embarrassement, especially when I went into a trance at the guitar solo.
I was younger then :cry:

Once plied a pair of headphones to the gigantic belly of a pregnant young woman and played the unborn child some Floodland.

The kid is fine, mind you.

Had a "life imitates art" moment at Guildford railway station with Nine while Nine on my Walkman. Train was late, slush was melting all over the place and it was "so damn cold it's just not true". First of two slightly bizarre incidents at the same station. We won't go into the other one.

Found myself waiting for someone in Liverpool St station during a Friday rush-hour to the accompaniment of Some Girls. A strange sense of power standing on the upper concourse overlooking the scurrying commuter ants down below. See them shimmy, see them go ...

From what I can remember, you could get frostbite at Rochdale station in fucking August! :urff:

S*agging in the back of car on a motorway (someone was driving obviously) with Ribbons playing rather loud.

That was 4 years ago... enjoyment hasn't been surpassed since!

i was a passenger in a car that was playing floodland very loud while a fellow passenger car surfed as we went at 60+ down the motorway :o

car surfing involved opening the sunroof while a taller member of the party climbs up the back of the vehicle and gets a good grip on the open roof. the driver then sets off....

:urff:

twas coming back from seeing the neph in bradford circa 91. the same journey also saw the driver and the front seat passenger repeatedly trying to simulate the effect of "air breaks" by kicking open their doors at the same time as slamming on the breaks and applying the handbreak... i seem to recall the airbreaks were applied in time to the mish's "wing and a prayer".

indeed. :o

how i made it back home alive i'll never know :lol:
