Heartland

doing exactly what it says on the tin....starting with a couple of questions.
( perhaps our errant Chairman could answer them if the faithful can't.)

on the "top of the pops" performances of "this corrosion","dominion","lucretia" and "TOL91" (and also the various other television outings thereof) who are the other musicians apart from von and patsie? are any of them relevant players in the recording of those tracks or merely session performers for the cameras?

why on earth is there some dipstick miming on the drums along to "i was wrong" and "more" on the peter's pop show?

my reflections are these:
sisters not goth? the walk away video really has a lot to answer for, doesn't it andrew?

ofra haza:her death really was a sad loss.(whatever you may think of TOL featuring her .personally i like it- it's not as if the original stopped existing because of it and she had an amazing voice.)

patricia morrison: from the right angle,what a babe!

roxy subtitled information: anthony eldritch? i'll bet he loved that -nice dig at hussey tho' re. chart positioning.

the extras on the various floodland totp stuff were eldritch's friends & colleagues - i seem to recall members of gangwar and/or performance were used, along with "staff" from the reptile house... purely for the purposes of filling in the spaces.

i'm pretty sure the lineup on TOL91 from totp is the full band? tj, andreas & tim?

peters pop show

dunno wtf that is all about - a real drummer FFS!

and i'd agree entirly on your walk away comment - see the wiki for my comments on the promo early vids:

re: no time to cry - "Pretty representative of where The Sisters were at visually, back in 1985, and a whole world away from the sillyness of the Walk Away video."

where can I download all of the early promo videos?

they appear on a couple of weeds - dvd and v-cd.

cant remember off-hand but have a look through the video section of the "weeding list" thread

either the "heartland dvd" emwk is talking about or this one for example:

did he? i thought it was one of his band, as a keyboard player?

you might be right though... or maybe it was both of them?

Yeah I think he did.... The grey cells are leaning towards Lucretia on the Roxy, but I could be talking complete twaddle..... Its going to bug me till I find out. Time to locate and blow the dust off those home made video compilations

thats sounding very familiar, now you come to mention it....
