                                      This is really a gem but never heard a proper version.I can't remember this one to be ever issued on a bootleg or something but might be wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
Good one anyway &lt;img src=&quot;images/smiles/icon_smile.gif&quot; alt=&quot;Smile&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

                                      &lt;b&gt;Posted:&lt;/b&gt; Sat Feb 04, 2012 10:18 pm&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
                                      &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
                                      Well, top of the DeWinter list of God-awful, and actually pretty disgusting songs goes to Cannibal Corpse and their charming ditty &amp;quot;Necropedophile&amp;quot;. A song that could only be dreamt up by a band who's fans are doomed to remain forever virgins.&lt;br /&gt;
Next is Snap! and &amp;quot;Rhythm is a Dancer&amp;quot;, with the truly cringe-inducing lyric of &amp;quot;I'm serious as cancer&amp;quot; in it. &lt;br /&gt;
Third is John Lennon and &amp;quot;Imagine&amp;quot;. Just pass me my puking bowl. &lt;br /&gt;
In a similar vein is Savage Garden's &amp;quot;Affirmation&amp;quot;, although at least SG didn't perform their drippy song in front of the New York 100 like Lennon.&lt;br /&gt;
Elton John and &amp;quot;Saturday Night alright for fighting&amp;quot;. What the hell would he know about that? I suspect it was a mis-print and he meant to say fisting.&lt;br /&gt;
Can't believe no-one has given the thumbs down to Black Lace's wedding disco classic &amp;quot;Agadoo&amp;quot; yet, although it did give us the rather amusing &amp;quot;Chicken Song&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
Bon Jovi's &amp;quot;It's my life&amp;quot;, a pretty lame re-working of a fun single they released back when their groupies didn't have stretchmarks and sagging breasts.&lt;br /&gt;
Anything by Frank Sinatra.&lt;br /&gt;
Rednex &amp;quot;Cotton Eyed Joe&amp;quot;. Music to father a child on your own sister by.&lt;br /&gt;
Wham! &amp;quot;Last Christmas&amp;quot;. Not only how it's the true sign that the yearly debt-fest is on the way, it's lyrics are beyond gibberish.&lt;br /&gt;
Mariah Carey &amp;quot;Fantasy&amp;quot;. My fantasy is that the slaughtered pig squeal she makes is actually from her being cut up and turned into sausages.</description>

I'm not talking about megabands that every man and his dog would know of - but bands like TSOM that are a fairly specialised audience.&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;postbody&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Miserabile dictu most bands seem to have a Forum these days - even Merciful Nuns - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.hypogeum.org/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; class=&quot;postlink&quot;&gt;http://www.hypogeum.org/&lt;/a&gt; sample forum topic &amp;quot;What occult music are you listening to ?&amp;quot; Hmmm...&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;postbody&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Two questions&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. How?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Why?</description>

&lt;br /&gt;
The link is from the Neph site but they've cunningly hid the link to this years gig on the cancelled one from last year!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And we thought The Sisters could be awkward - this makes the Sisters home page look like wiki-leaks... &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;img src=&quot;images/smiles/icon_whistlehalo.gif&quot; alt=&quot;It wasn't me...&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;postbody&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Oh, so it's a rescheduled gig from last year. Hmmm... Should I buy a ticket or not?  &lt;img src=&quot;images/smiles/icon_question.gif&quot; alt=&quot;Question&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyway, since I missed the Sisters gigs in Budapest from previous years, I sooo hope for anothert date this year. Fingers crossed!</description>

IMO the only tapes that can be ( and should be) thrown away in the bin is those taped from vinylbootlegs and those ripped of from an official record and then sold as &amp;quot;official&amp;quot; in stores and markets in largely places like Poland, Checoslovacia, Bulgaria, Arabia etc. Those tapes are often called official, sometimes they have different trackorder, but they only have one purpose - to fool us consumers and taking money which would go to the artist if buiyng the proper product instead. Sorry, but I hate those fxxxxng tapes and thieves.&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;postbody&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
yes, probably you're right!  but I have good remembrences about Polish bootleg cassettes anyway.. Probably because we had different realitys..In the early 90's I was a poor Russian student with no money etc.  In that time our country was flooded by Polish audio/video cassetttes and that was like a breath of fresh air!  There was no internet, no youtube, no mp3, no chance to hear Sisters on the radio or read about them in a music paper etc.  Well, there were a few shops with official CD's, here, at that time, but they were so fookin expensive for a student!  What I had at that time was a unofficialy reprinted Rock-enciclopedia and Polish bootleg cassettes..thats all.. I just red the discription of the band and what style they play and if I felt like I might like them, I went to the shop and bought cassettess... Thus I discovered many bands: Depeche mode, Sisters, Siuxsie, Numan, Doors, Kraftwerk etc. That was my reality..&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;postbody&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I can understand you fully. Unfortunately a lot of other people bought the cheaper bootlegs versions instead of the official releases not because they couldnīt afford the originals but because they could.&lt;br /&gt;
I donīt know how big issue these pirated stuff was at that moment in Russia and where the money went. But my guess is that it was very big money involved (the country was flooded by Polish cassettes...). &lt;br /&gt;
Here the money helps to finance other illigal activities, drugs and weapons. It is just not worth it. &lt;br /&gt;
To to make life difficult for those organisations, never buy anything illigal, booze, music, movies, ciggarettes, clothes or whatever. You might just save a life just by ignoring those things....</description>
