The guy who someone once described as looking a magic marker drawing on the side of a balloon.

It reminded me of when Charlie Brooker described the Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry as looking like a haunted tree.

Guitar.

Is this Robert Cray?

No.

It's more like one of those languid and louche Yello songs from about this time.

I can hear an oboe. They could have put that on Twist In My Sobriety!

I think I get him mixed up with Elton John's husband.

I think I do too. They were both around in the news at the same time.

It is over.

It was a solid attempt at an album and probably worth a second listen at some point.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it. Excited

Or when someone once described Gayle Tilsley as looking like a disappointed camel.

I shall give it 4 stars.

David Furniture.

Can I shock you?

~~I like wine~~.

I liked that.

It kid of ran out of steam at the end - possibly because the songs were ~~moistly~~ mostly quite long.

by SiberianPrincess’sMidriff Sat Aug 12, 2023 7:49 pm

Over.

by SiberianPrincess’sMidriff Sat Aug 12, 2023 7:49 pm

What I have to say about that.

Nothing.

by Butterfield Sat Aug 12, 2023 7:49 pm

Well, I think that is a thoroughly good album and it's no wonder the g*ys love it. Her theatrical voice works well with a contemporary production - and although that production is a bit dated it's all polished very well. My only minor downsides are the perhaps unneeded cover of Twist In My Sobriety and Love Pains is a bit.... standard.

4.5/5

Upgraded to 5/5 for voting!

I think it was Frank Skinner who described her as E.T. with hair.

As a human thing in itself (or "Dasein" as Heidegger would have it) it was certainly comfortable in its 'thrownness'.

shifty
