Very strange music. Don't know if I like it, but I like that somebody made it.

Ah, that sucks.
Immediately blasted 'Welcome to Liberty City'.

That version of "Jerusalem" he did...absolutely jaw-dropping...

Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand"

"“I’ve been messing about doing things like that since I was about six. To a certain extent, people are contained, but for me I can listen to some footwork stuff, some mad Japanese noise or a bubblegum pop song all in the same 10 minutes.”

Very sad. A truly unique band in their day, even amongst what was a very diverse and innovative environment.

I could've sworn Barry Humphries died a couple of years ago, but no. Today.

I worked in the BMG building in Times Square for several years, around twenty years ago.
One day, returning from lunch, I saw Belafonte in the lobby, having a conversation with one of the security guards.
I imagine HB had some kind of business in the building, having been signed to RCA forever.
He probably had a meeting upstairs with top executives or something.
But he still took time to be a regular guy with this guard, who was sort of the senior of the guards, an African-American man roughly HB's age.
I wondered if they had known each other for long, or were maybe meeting for the first time.
HB had no entourage and seemed to be by himself.
Maybe this guard was the only one who recognized him, and he started the conversation.
Either way it's one of my favorite NYC memories and HB seemed to me to be one of the real ones.
Calypso was the first LP to sell over one million copies. And it's good.
