Fan Tome (geddit?)

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.

I have read two books by this guy, Alternative Music which is basically an encyclopdia with tons of reviews (including sisters but I don't have the book here to include his comments) and Burn Out: The Cult of Death in Rock n' Roll and they were both very good. He has a wide taste in music and really knows his stuff (or his researchers do). Without commenting on cure/sisters/goth issue, I will definitely pick this up.



my two cents
