SSML -2, 26 March 1996
Hi everyone,
We're up to 10 people now, if I include myself, with a few
more potentials in soon hopefully! I am currently sending out the
e-mails in 2 batches (my distribution list thing isn't working
properly); hence you'll only see half the list of names in the
"to.." section.
To get some e-mail action going, how would you like to
describe your first experience with Shakespear's Sister? (And for
that matter, do you prefer SS with or without the apostrophe?! I
prefer the apostrophe version, since that was the original
spelling, and there's a comment in a SS article somewhere saying
it wasn't intentionally lost for the 2nd album, it just
disappeared out of apathy, and may re-appear in the future; BUT,
you could argue just as well that Shakespears is the _current_
spelling).
My first experience was seeing the Break My Heart video.
This was played sometime in late 1988 on the overnight video clip
program "Rage", when the single was released in Australia. And
it was such a SHOCK! Siobhan had always been my favourite 'Nana,
but I had never realised that she had a deeper voice (I hadn't
heard her solo vocal at the start of "Do Not Disturb" at the
time). And the black hair! She looked fabulous though, and I
thought it was a great song. It really jumped out among all the
others clips being played that night. So I went and bought the
12" single the next week, and discovered the brilliant, but quite
different to BMH, Heroine.

my roommates made fun of shakespear's sister yesterday, so
i've been entertaining them with terribly *loud* s.s. music.
they didn't understand the video for stay--obviously went right
over their heads. and i thought that one was rather obvious...
do you really think siobhan was only anorexic for a year?
look at her the first several years of bananarama... my mother
even asked once when i happened to play "really saying something"
in the living room.
"don't try to change me/you're wasting your time"

Yeah, I've never exactly noticed any _fat_ on Siobhan. Look
at her poured into that latex suit in "Venus"!
