Anthony & the Johnsons - Nina Simone meets Larry Lamb

[Wolfie]

love him to bits

love his voice and his songs

whether he is ugly or not has got nothing to do with it

and there is just no comparison with that anodine crap Goldfrapp

Agreed.

Thank the Lord for small mercies.

He looks like Julie fucking Burchill.

 

[Wolfie]

ffs! why the obsession on here with making disparaging comments about what people look like!?!

grow up children!

He's a miserable minger, which has a great deal to do with the miserable minging noise he makes.

Much like Julie Burchill, her slug-like features have a great deal to do with the nature of her literary output, in my opinion.

While I diagree wholly on the matter of the Johnson lad, I utterly concur with you on the Burchill issue. What a tragic waste of skin and column inches.

Fat and ugly and painful voice. check

Couldn't really give a monkeys what he looks like. Listened to the album and really wanted to like it but on first listen found it painful. Then saw Boy George doing the duet on telly, just came across to me as turgidly saccharine.
I've had enough people tell me the album's a grower to keep an open mind, but need a little time to recover from the trauma of the first listen before risking another dose of distressed castrato warbling.

Showing once again that the Mercury music prize judges are all on crack, this years winner not only looks like a freshly poured bucket of manure, he sounds like one too.

And he cites the terminally awful Boy George as being his mentor, even dueting with the washed up old queen on one or two songs, the resultant mess sounding like two vibrating angle grinders with a bit of dull plinky plonky piano in the background, and twice as painful.

It's at times like this I envy the deaf.

"I Am A Bird Now" - well you look like The Freak from famed Australian chokey soap opera Prisoner Cell Block H, if you can call her a bird, so well done Anthony, have a pat on the back, now do us all a favour and shut your "unique" noise.

Ah, thank you thank you thank you, I thought I was all alone.

Made the HUGE mistake of cycling to work to that unadulterated wank in me minidisc player...Now I don't make a habit of stopping, tearing me earphones out and shouting 'get the fuck out of my ears', but.....
