Attention, people who like Dark Was The Night - there is a podcast of the DWTN live concert online! I am very excited that it features David Byrne doing things, and I keep trying to listen to it this afternoon but am getting distracted into playing disco music on the office stereo

It makes me want to kill myself, and I've only heard of it!

I do like ol' Antony, but he really sucks all the joy out of it!

Do you all want to do that because it's so bad, or because it's so overpoweringly intense?

I must go and find it now...

Found on YouTube. One of a million live renditions.

Umm, I actually do rather like it. But you may be spared if you believe the wisdom of YouTube! According to a two-month old comment;

Last night in Antwerp Antony stopped right in the middle of this song and vowed never ever to sing it. "There you have it. Other people's songs visit you and then just leave. This song has left me. I'm taking it off the list. There you go, you have witnessed the death of a coversong."

But since it's all round your office, I'm not really convinced of how much I should trust that...

It's not bad by any means, just upsetting! He sounds not so much crazy in love as really, really depressed. That's an awesome quote, but as it's going to be the b-side of his new single, clearly it left him and then returned to haunt him...

[friend_of_tofu]

Yep, maybe it was already recorded at that point and he's sick of it now and just isn't going to sing it again. Speaking for myself, I've been listening to it rather a lot, and may now have to buy the new single - backfire!

Depressed + Anthony H. - surely not an unusual combination?
