Recent Wayne Hussey interview if anyone's interested, probably not, nevermind - https://www.loudersound.com/features/...I read the title as "Wayne Hussey: The Mission, growing up a Moron, and orchestrating an orgy". 😀
"You were in the Sisters Of Mercy for two years in the mid-eighties, and were a big part of their debut album, First And Last And Always. What was Andrew Eldritch really like?
He was a big figure in my life, even though I’ve not seen him for years. But he wasn’t a particularly warm person, whereas I’m quite sociable once I get into the swing of it.
Did the ‘Andrew Eldritch’ mask ever drop? Did you get to know the real Andrew Taylor?
No. He was already Eldritch by the time I met him. Maybe I saw fleeting glimpses, a momentary sensitivity that was out of character. And the speaking voice was very different to the singing voice. It reminded me of Rigsby from Rising Damp."
Hee hee
In the Temple of Love, Mrs Jones.We'll hide together, yes, no, yes?

Miss Jones.
C'mon Sera I'm expecting a whole S of M song from you in the style of Rigsby now.....
New track from Astari Nite (whose name always really annoys me, grr):-Capulet Loves Montague - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HKYsl4o...

Couple of new tunes from Dance With The Dead, no idea what genre this is, umm synth metal or something like that...?The Dawn - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8iiOAY...

Another quote from Mr. Hussey re: AE
"Didn’t you compare him to Rigsby from Rising Damp at one point?
(laughs) Well yeah. You listen to this voice which sounds like Darth Vader on record, and then you speak to him and he’s like, 'Alright mate, how you doing?', with a little fag in his mouth."
Sticking with the Sisters......only recently heard this live cover of Lucretia My Reflection by The Mountain Goats, whose music is def NOT goth but I quite like their version:-https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HuWFHEN...
And then YouTube kindly led me to this Spanish language cover of Lucretia 😀 : - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UUIOfrz...
New song from Hurtsfall that sounds like it's straight out of the '80s/'90s goth scene - “Line your eyes and dance like the last 30 years never happened”.12 Long Years - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Hup1QGg...
Hmmm, looks like TSOM's 1983 session for David "Kid" Jensen is starting to become available for download (previously only available on various bootlegs) - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Heartland-Da...Only 1 track so far & it says " Heartland", but sample is for "Burn". Maybe the rest will follow soon.

Ok, so I lied, I'm sorry, here are some more tunes from last year that I've just caught up with: -Draumadís by Kælan Mikla - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aAi-adb...
More by Brotherhood - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YEUJcLl...
Seven Stars, Seven Stones by SEER - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_neIRFT...
Under My Skin by Missing Witness - https://idieyoudie.bandcamp.com/track...
Spun In Darkness by Haus of Leaves - https://hausofleaves.bandcamp.com/tra...
And some new releases...Sonsombre's new album is out now. I find them hilariously bad but they seem to be (inexplicably) v popular in the goth/alternative sphere (in cyberspace, anyway) - https://www.amazon.co.uk/One-Thousand...
Opening track "Fire" - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3T1TYmw...
A new EP from Human Performance Lab (SARIN & Matt Cangiano) is out at the end of the month - https://x-img.bandcamp.com/album/impa...
"Past & future dystopias collide in a visceral blend of techno & body music inspired by early progenitors of industrial music, Dadaism & futurism."
Don't know about that, but I do like their music. Wish people would stop writing this crap/blurb.
"Impact Situation" - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kN2o_xt...
New album from Velvet Kills out beginning March - https://hivmusic1.bandcamp.com/album/...In The Gold Mine - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0c4LSbj...
Quite liking the music but, oh dear, people are spouting more nonsense:
"Awakening the labyrinth of our minds to be freed from hate, greed and ego this album brings us to the reality of our actual society. The messages come coded in sarcasm, euphemism, hyperbole and irony where the two dig into the files of a lonely civilisation and question the purpose of life vs government structures....."
Sera69 wrote: "Catchy!"Yeh, think I need to start a separate "Pretentious Twaddle" thread. It's really starting to annoy me now (& it's only fair that I share it with everyone 😉), cropping up on lots of new releases.
Here's yet more shit for this new album, Human, from white mansion - https://whitemansion.bandcamp.com/alb...
"Human" - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pzahGq7...
"The main body of the work comes from within, a slow burn into the tortured relationships, the longing, lust and erotic despair that comes from love and the loss of self. These themes are punctuated by stadium filling drums and rhythms, mournful and passionate guitars with Lush synthesized sounds that swell to silence. To be Human is to be translucent and this album is a description of what it's like to be wrestled from grace."
Aaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh..........................
Anyway, I'm liking this, ummm, electro-post-punky type stuff from Talk To Her. Album out second week of Feb (twaddle also included for this release, but I won't bore you with it, you can read it for yourselves) - https://talktoher.bandcamp.com/album/...IBISCO - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=v0_m7oS...
Industrial/EBM peeps Front 242 have a couple of tour dates:-MAY:01, Glasgow, Classic Grand

Great session, hope the rest becomes available soon.
Ok, I'll shut up for a bit now. Bye.
Two new songs:-Necromancy by Monotonous Cities - https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=y...
Laurentiustränen by Marta Raya - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Eesf761...
More new tracks:-Alone In My Room by Crows - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=S-CE3aW...
Dutch Courage by Pit Pony - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=c4O1cPD...

Your Life by Zeropolis - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_v0k8iU...
Time for some more new releases...Good Talks by Fearing - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kVa0fJ-...
The Night by Dramatic - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Xw-OymW...
Awakening by Uniform - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Bv77pID...
All In Time by NATURE - https://futurenowrecords.bandcamp.com...
Just listened to the last 8 songs that you posted Helen, (bar NATURE'S 'All In Time' because Bandcamp's having maintenance). Pit Pony's 'Dutch Courage' was great as was Fearing's 'Good Talks', but the stand out track for me was Uniform's industrially aggressive 'Awakening', oh yeah! :-)In fact, liked all of it bar the 3rd song.
Think I forgot to mention this when it was released, but Fearing did a cover of The Sound's "Winning", which is worth a listen. Not a patch on the original, but I'm v biased, "From The Lions Mouth" would probably be on my fave albums of all time list - highly recommended to any post-punk fans if you don't already have it: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lions-Mouth-...Anyway, here is Fearing's version - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5_MY-Zx...
Continuing with new releases...M'Éloigner by Palissade - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lkO9PhO...
In My Memories, Old by Death Comes Crawling - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4JadNug...
More newness...Vultures by Mayflower Madame - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SJrgli_...

(Warning: contains swearing)
And time wasting with some Sisters silliness. Oldish stuff from News Thump but it's still amusing (& true 😁)."Stop being such a dick about Temple of Love, Andrew Eldritch told
Andrew Eldritch has been told to grow the hell up and play Temple of Love properly for once.
Eldritch, who resents the song because his fans love it and he’s still emotionally twelve years old, has made a point of playing it as badly as possible for decades – using techniques such as distortion, reverb, and singing slightly flat and as badly as possible because that’s what grown-ups do with things that make others happy.
The song, which along with This Corrosion effectively defined the gothic oeuvre for a generation in the mid-1980s, has proven enduringly popular – much to its creator’s dismay.
'I’ve actually got about five albums of material that I’ll never record unless someone gives me millions,' Andrew told us whilst making sure his band’s instruments were as out of tune as possible for his next performance.
'Until then I’ll keep playing the old material at the wrong tempo from behind a smoke machine. Because that’s how much I love my fans.'
'Now if you’ll excuse me I’ve got to go and hit Doktor Avalanche with a brick.'
When asked, fans of the Sisters of Mercy said they know it’s bad but at least they’re not following The Fall."
And still playing it badly in 2019 - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oRWJf-K...
Mind boggling:-
Sorry, doesn't show up v well, here's the link - https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CbVsXadWc...

"horrible histories - the massacre"
Tech XXIII wrote: ""horrible histories - the massacre""😁
Argh, apparently yesterday was " International EBM Day", who knew? Didn't even know such a thing existed."Ever since Front 242 started up in 1981 the number 242 has held a special position in the numerology of Electronic Body Music. Using the date format often used in Europe (dd/mm = 24/2) it’s fairly obvious why the International EBM day is celebrated on February 24."
Hmmm, not obvious to me. Oh well, an excuse for some old school EBM...
