ok, this man seems nuts on first encounter, but his voice is straight from the heavens. first time I heard him sing was during a documentary on leonard cohen, my reaction went from who’s this nut trying soooo hard, to my god, he’s amazing. check out the “Hercules And Love Affair” (remixes courtesy of PP) with antony on a few of their tracks. quite nice. i saw him at a cafe one day while having lunch and told him how i came to know of him, he was shy and sweet. by dd

best artist of the decade

we were talking today about the best artist of the past decade… or hell the past 25 years, and we had a hard time coming up with anything. between brittany, sean-puff-combs-diddy-john-king (love it when people acquire so many names, like they really deserve more than one), timberlake, and the like we had a very tough time selecting a worthy loser. goldfrapp, radiohead, gonzales, and stangold came to mind but none got the necessary votes. we settles on cat power. a) she only needs one name and a short one at that, b) last name rocks, c) her music has vigor. we haven’t settled on her 100% but shes right up there. by dd
