"sotd, 2016.03.16"
 
   LAST EDITED ON Mar-16-16 AT 07:36 PM (EDT)
 
The new Information Society album contains several covers, one of which is of this classic track off the Sisters of Mercy's 1987 album Floodland. It doesn't make any more actual sense in their hands than it did in the Sisters', yet remains weirdly evocative at the same time.


In the heat of the night
In the heat of the day
When I close my eyes
When I look your way
When I meet the fear that lies inside
When I hear you say
In the heat of the moment
Say say say

Someday
Someday
Someday
Dominion
Come a time—

In the light of the fact
On the lone and level
Sand stretch far away
In the heat of the action
In the settled dust
Hold hold and sway
In the meeting of minds
Down in the streets of shame
In the betting of names on gold to rust
In the land of the blind, be
King, king, king, king

Someday
Someday
Someday
Dominion
Come a time—
Someday
Someday
Someday
Dominion
Some say prayers—
I say mine

I say mine

We serve an old man in a dry season
A lighthouse keeper in the desert sun
Dreamers of sleepers and white treason
We dream of rain and the history of the gun
There's a lighthouse in the middle of Prussia
A white house in a red square
Living in films for the sake of Russia
A kino runner for the DDR*
And the fifty-two daughters of the Revolution
Turn the gold to chrome
Gift, nothing to lose
Stuck inside of Memphis with a mobile home, singing

Mother Russia
Mother Russia
Mother Russia rain down, down, down
Mother Russia
Mother Russia
Mother Russia rain down

Mother Russia
Mother Russia
Mother Russia rain down, down, down
Mother Russia
Mother Russia
Mother Russia rain down

Someday
Someday
Someday
Dominion
Come a time—
Someday
Someday
Someday
Dominion
Some say prayers—
I say mine

   Two of my favorite bands tasting great together! Man, I'm going to drive too fast listening to this.

One of my best friends from college actually rented Kurt Harland's backyard cottage from him for a number of years, and handled the band's web presence, album art and general graphic design. My friend and I tended to enjoy the occasional wild bender, and I ended up getting to hang out with him quite a bit. He's a really eccentric, snarky dude - prickly, but fun to hang out with. I got to meet Paul Robb and James Cassidy as well; they were really cool and friendly and offered to sign stuff for me without being asked.

Also, if you ever have the chance, listen to Kurt reading the the torrid notes he gets from middle-aged female fans during shows. It's frigging hilarious.

   I'm just flabbergasted that there's a new Information Society album...
