My friend told me to check them out. I did. This song was painful. I couldn't make it through two minutes. I don't like miserable music sang by scary looking white people. I like music about sex, murder and drugs sang by scary looking black people.
Antony and the Johnsons! Love him, his voice is amazing. Don't get me wrong, I also enjoy music about sex, murder and drugs sung by scary looking black people but this is different.
You can feel this music, the sadness, the rawness, the happiness, he evokes a mysterious, dark, happy feeling.
@Gabe: He doesn't sound like Erasure or the Cure. I liked them because they had a beat. Where is the beat? He sounds like musical theater to me. I don't like musical theater. Let's review another song. This one sucks.

Open your mind and your eyes will see me!
You would think that someone like you would enjoy this. I mean you wrote this:
ReplyDelete"I am a writer of dark magical realism. All that is visible but rarely seen, all that is real but seems surreal, all that is dark yet radiates light."
Seems like you and Antony would get a long just fine.
@ gabe: He evoked nothing in me. I need a jungle beat to get the spirit moving.
