"...what better way to continue to pay homage to the Sisters than by stringing your fanbase along with false hope of a new album?"
Ouch! That hurts.
Another Cure cover, "A Forest" yet again, by Cronin - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oGUixO2...Actually, I quite like that one, it's not too bad.
Dark Entries Records are reissuing Clan Of Xymox's album of Peel Sessions (which is currently only available on CD but rather expensive to get hold of). The 1985 sessions will be available as digital & vinyl from mid March - https://xymox.bandcamp.com/album/peel...https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MNl90GB...

Not familiar with the other 3 songs but giving them a listen as I type.
The Peel Session is a good one. Not heard of that 4AD comp before. Had a quick look/listen & I think Muscovite M might be the best thing on it for me.

These damn capital letters aren't going away anytime soon, are they? I wonder what the thought process is behind them, if any? Do they have any meaning? Life is full of mysteries. ;-)

Happy Sisters of Mercy Day. Today (16th) is usually considered their Anniversary date - the date of their first official gig - 16th Feb 1981 - as support act with the Thompson Twins (urgh). The Sisters' performance was at least partly recorded and some of it can be found on a bootleg. This has the earliest live recording known of "Good Things" taken from this first ever concert: -

Don't be so mean to lovely Robert, you horrible man. I am definitely going off you again ;-)
Watched it, loved it. Fat bob? Just means there's more to love!
i tuned in to discover i'd moaned about it some time ago. watched a bit but thought it was lifeless and a bit tribute bandy. i am a horrible man!
I watched and enjoyed it too, Sera.I didn't find it at all tribute bandy (unlike recent gigs by that other notgoth band).
Nothing wrong with this - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VZm7yyj...

I'm often up on and off all night long so I may catch it ... thanks Helen ;o>
I'll just have to see if I can get the Sky Arts Channel on my TV first. I know that I did have Channel 11 on Freeview until very recently - although I remember that it was previously allocated to something else and not Sky Arts.
It's one of the Channels though that disappeared from my TV after the major re-shuffle sometime in mid-January followed on by the addition of several new Channels.
I'll try doing another update and see if my Aerial can pick it up ;o>

Damnit. Sorry Suzy - the repeat showing of the Cure Hyde Park concert is in the listings for Friday night but it's actually on at 2am - 4am Saturday morning. D'oh. Stupid brain.
Ohhh that's fine, Helen ;o>I haven't managed to get Channel 11 back on my TV and so it turns out it really doesn't matter at all when it is anyway - LOL!!! ;o>
suzysunshine7 wrote: "I haven't managed to get Channel 11 back on my TV and so it turns out it really doesn't matter at all when it is anyway - LOL!!! ;o>"Oh, nevermind then. Perhaps Mitz will howl/yelp some Cure songs to you instead.
Anyway, Happy EBM Day everyone. All hail the mighty Front 242. Other EBM bands are available but it really is their day (24th of the 2nd).Welcome To Paradise - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=osQMG9f...

Yeh, I know...just me... :-(
I don't want to detract too much from the Music on this Thread but I thought you might be interested to know that I've currently got two tiny little black Spiders sharing my Bedroom with me ;o>They look identical so I reckon they must be from the same Nursery Web and happened to head in the same direction as each other on leaving it ... probably positioned somewhere on the Wall or the Sill just outside of my Window.
I've had a long talk with both of them and told them that they can stay ... so long as they don't grow much bigger and they stay well away from my Bed! ;o>
"I've had a long talk with both of them"................................................they both opted for thumb over dish towel! hey, it's good to have choices!
That's ok Suzy.It has been quite quiet here on the spider front - just 4 sightings of the same spider since the New Year. It's a cute little stripey spider that I only see in various wall & ceiling locations in my kitchen. I had a nice little chat with him at lunchtime today, actually, but he didn't talk back. I call him "Little Spider" (imaginative eh?). 😁
I'm sure the others will all start to emerge soon now that it's getting warmer; all our snow and ice had finally melted away by the beginning of this week.

NOOOOOOO!!! ... if they get too big, or don't seem to be having any luck foodwise, then I'll try to catch them up and release them into the Garage or the Shed so that they can set themselves up with new homes and hang-outs ;o>

The very tiny pale brown Spider that has been living in our Peace Lily ever since I bought it last year (and probably came with it ;o>) has suddenly started with venturing out onto the Priory Dresser and wandering across to spend it's afternoon's climbing up the long stems of the Anthurium.
He also doesn't answer back when I talk to him - but does occasionally seem to give me a bit of a friendly wave with one of his front Legs ;o>

And seeing as The Cure have been a recent topic...
"On candy stripe legs the spiderman comes
Softly through the shadow of the evening sun
Stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead
Looking for the victim shivering in bed
Searching out fear in the gathering gloom and
Suddenly!
A movement in the corner of the room!
And there is nothing I can do
When I realize with fright
That the spiderman is having me for dinner tonight!
Quietly he laughs and shaking his head
Creeps closer now
Closer to the foot of the bed
And softer than shadow and quicker than flies
His arms are all around me and his tongue in my eyes
'Be still be calm be quiet now my precious boy
Don’t struggle like that or I will only love you more
For it’s much too late to get away or turn on the light
The spiderman is having you for dinner tonight'
And I feel like I’m being eaten
By a thousand million shivering furry holes
And I know that in the morning I will wake up
In the shivering cold
And the spiderman is always hungry…"

I can instantly see and hear that!
Careful, Sera. Just thinking about/picturing the candy stripe be-legged Spiderman will make him materialise & he will have you for dinner tonight.
3 or 4 servings to get fat bob down his gullet!

Star Test! That does bring back memories. A Reddit AMA before Reddit AMAs.
Sera69 wrote: "Star Test! That does bring back memories. A Reddit AMA before Reddit AMAs."Not being familiar with the ins and outs of Reddit, I had to look that one up. I do hope that you are not cheating on us with another forum yet again, Sera? I'm sure you said before that we were "special". ;-)

Mmm, I wonder what I'll be listening to this weekend? V pleased to finally get physical copies of these albums.
The packaging is worth a mention: "packaged in a deluxe over-sized 4-color hand-letterpress Discfolio package designed by Bruce Licher, with full-color lyric inserts & gilded letterpress-printed glassine inner sleeves, this essential re-issue is released as a limited, numbered edition of 1000 copies."
More pics (contain your excitement):
a very pleasingly presented package..............regardless of what it sounds like.

Absolutely nothing to do with music, soz, but seeing as this place morphs into spiderchat thread sometimes, I thought I'd post this here. I came across this fab YouTube channel called "Miniscule". It's a French animation series based on the lives of various insects, including a couple of spiders. Quirky and cute. Here are just a couple:-The Stubborn Spider - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oHMkCoP...
