I always thought Ribbons was about a serial killer at work. She looks good in Ribbons , Just walk on in and all that stuff. "It's so rational, but undeniably psychotic," he furthers. "I can see a better-read Norman Bates thinking to himself before he flings open the shower curtain: *...

To my ears it sounds like a proto-I Was Wrong.

Just a wee thought (still not heard it... waiting for Christmas :innocent: ) but if we accept that the lineage of this song is: 1. Neverland - Demo version as heard on Kill the Lights, et al 2. Neverland - Full lengh version 3. Neverland (a fragment) It means one of two things happened: New lyrics w...

I: Ok, I like that! What about Eldritch Avenue? What is Eldritch Avenue? A: Eldritch Boulevard? It's close to the planet Morrison ... I: Oh, I see. 'cause your last name *is* Eldritch, I wanna point that out to the viewers. A: Not Boulevard ... I: [laughs uncomfortably] Ok, now we're gonna be lookin...

Funny. We're going geeky now. As always. If you look at the details on the Vision Thing CD it says for the track MORE; "published by EMI Music LTD. / Eldritch Boulevard / blabla" http://www.eldritchboulevard.com/ (The picture is a David Sylvian drawing). Registered to a Rachael Eldritch-B...

It's about being constipated and trying to s**t out a lyric. Seriously. Listen to the embrionic Peel Session version; a mere sketch of a song; a tune in need of words and words which will not come. Fast forward a few months and the pan is still not filled.. "It's just like always coming down&qu...

I pray to God that if it is the demo version, it has been sonicaly cleansed. There is no other version of 'Never Land' (apart from demo versions and "full" versions edited together by bootleg merchants). It's called 'Never Land (a fragment)' to reflect the way the song sounds: overheard a...

Hi, I’ve made a text file that contains all the Melody Maker and NME reviews of The Sisters of Mercy that I own. Nice. Thanks for this :notworthy: One wee note, the Steve Sutherland Vision Thing review was from MM, not NME. Steven Wells did the write-up for that particular rag and whilst gaving i...

The master tapes were allegedly "lost" sometime before 1988 (as has been mentioned somewhere up above, I think), but the appearance of the original NTTC on ASCOOB kinda makes that seem doubtful and dubious. It was, after all, part of the LP sessions and not a separate recording. As has be...

Hahahaha. Jesus!

I guess it's still true then - you either get the joke or the joke gets you.

should someone add a sisters reference to this wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrenochrome Funnily enough I was, er... looking at the page earlier in the week and I could have sworn the Sisters were already mentioned :?: :?: :?: Sure enough, a wee check of the History reveals that som...

It just looks like an aide memoir for current (or potential extra) ticket outlets for the already announced gigs. Sorry.

There was a line on Ian Grinmstead's old Sisters site which always intrigued me which said something about Andrew going to school with Jonathon Ross... No citation was given for this and I've never read it anywhere else.

(edit - forgot the site is still up at mixi.net)

Aye, you get a Kola Kube, but I'll give you a quarter if you can tell me what the hell Scotty was on about

OK so strictly speaking mine's a reprise, but it's subtle, so so subtle...

Ah! cheers.

Be convinced. Oh yes. Right now he is the difference!
