Well, I thought you'd appreciate it for its... erm.... uniqueness, even if you didn't want to go straight out and buy a copy for all your friends.

John Grant: You're Where Dreams go to Die

That 'Queen of Denmark' CD is fab probably my favourite of the second half of last year in that 'alternative' genre (whatever that is). Funny, poignant, sad, joyous, angry, and with a real sense of honest drama. Reminded me of Elton John when he was good (which was a long, long time ago). A Close second would be Sufjan Stevens' 'Age of Adz' CD, which leans a bit more towards a kind of 'Folktronica'(!) in parts.

BP- awww, well, thank you kindly. I'm not much for contemporary pop music but it was interesting to listen to:)

I like Stevens' older work very much - this is quite different. I'll have to give it more of a listen...

I've been catching up with it in the last few months - I like him a lot; a nice contrast to some of the hardcore-ish stuff I often find myself listening to. He still does that intimate acoustic thing on the latest CD - and he still seems to be travelling around recording all friends in their kitchens - but I think he's been spending more time with his computer too.

[Bella Fortuna]

^^^ I like that very much.

I wonder if he's abandoned his "states" project... More's the pity if he has...

[Brian Peacock]

That's an ambitious project. Perhaps he's just girding his loins for a big push?
