Antony & The Johnsons

quote [ "Antony and the Johnsons is a Mercury Prize-winning music act from New York City. The band is essentially a vehicle for singer Antony (full name Antony Hegarty)." ]

I found a cd of Antony in 2005 in Sweden and I just fell in love with this music.
"Soft black star" and "Cripple and the starfish" my favourites - which put me into deep trouble explaining why I like this songs so much...lyrics together with this sad mysterious music and on the top his voice makes it just special.


He is famous for his interpretation of Lou Reed's "Candy says"

also he sang on Lou Reed's "The Raven".

Recently he has performed with Björk

Repost, and on the main page as well. Bad form, sir. You should probably think about changing it to something else before the big red mods.

°susi is my girlfriend. We're looking for something else right now - thanks!

I suspected that susi meant "sir" wasn't the appropriate address, but it's all I know.

Rule is that if it's your first post, and it's a repost, then you have to fix it by posting shots of yourself naked.

Sorry, but that's the rule.
Dioxin said @ 6:37am GMT on 22nd Sep
Mozart also has to send me a piece of himself every time someone follows through on that rule. So please follow through. I've been waiting a long time to reassemble myself a real boy.

Yay a first post repost :)

Don't worry Susi! It's a classy first post, and just goes to show, as we all know, that Composer Nate is a man of great talent and judgment.

Right now, she's looking over an article about the evolution of worm anuses. NOW THAT'S CLASSY.

They're like the anti-anus though. I mean with worms, poop goes in, dirt comes out.
ComposerNate said @ 2:29pm GMT on 21st Sep
Here is that article on the independent evolution of the bilaterian mouth and anus:

Why can't I find a girl into worm anuses :(

The internet can help you find a girl with an anus full of worms, and the .torrent to go with it.

No, sac, you are the balls.

And then sac was a scrotum.

all of this does nothing to further the cause of seeing nate's balls.

Only two SEers have seen my balls, and graham doesn't count.

How about the space between my ass and balls?

one of the singers sounds just like the guy from Hercules and the Love Affair. Nice save, when in doubt Post Music that's my philosophy. :)
matfei said @ 5:38pm GMT on 21st Sep
Because Antony Hegarty is actually on half of their album. That's probably why they sound so similar.

I've always thought he had a beautiful voice - but I can't help thinking: Kermit + Joan Baez = Antony.

anyone know what's the story with that Soulwax documentary? is it out yet? i can't find it anywhere.....

"soft black stars" is also a really good Current 93 album from quite a while ago. wonder if that was simply a coincedence.

theolypse said @ 11:21pm GMT on 21st Sep
Probably not. He sounds like the sort to listen to them.
theolypse said @ 11:24pm GMT on 21st Sep
And also to the Bad Seeds.

Note also that he appeared on a B-side for them.
