He's got the right voice for a dance track ("Blind").

Seconded.

My girlfriend showed it to me and I was pretty impressed. Haven't liked anything else I've heard of his though.

bleeeechhh

all this talk about antony, no one ever mentions the johnsons.

i like the song "the atrocities" and "cripple and starfish" is ok, great lyrics. that's it. i tried many times and even liked the s/t album for a few spins. then i just kept going back to the above track. it's too personally dark for me. he's clearly talented but the "torch song" aspect does doesn't keep me hooked.

overall i think the music is crap. some waffles for the humorous lyrics and his voice.

It seems pretty classy to me...and I tend to dislike this sort of thing. For example, I could not get on board with Ys. I know I'm supposed to be able to explain myself properly on this board, but all I have is my gut...and in this case, I guess my gut has turned sissy.

The lyrical content...well, let's just say I can't relate to all the stuff on that I Am a Bird Now record. Still, I find myself putting on this record more often than I expected to when I bought it.
