Antony from Antony & The Johnsons

[Bbbananas]

Wonderfully weird, or what?

[hizakite]

I'll choose the 'what' option :)

Hi Salla

Certainly is, but I think his voice is amazing and have a couple of their albums - music you have to listen to when you are alone and in a particular mood.

I saw him for the first time on Jonathan Ross - thought he was brilliant. Really original. I have already ordered from amazon the album I Am A Bird Now... anyone heard this? Lottie?

[LoftyLottie2]

Yes, I have the album. My son got it first and I just had to have a copy. I love it. Sort of depressing but very moving.

[LoftyLottie2]

.... but I have some very strange tastes in music - Bjork, Radiohead, Kate Bush................... :o( (as well as some of the later Bowie)

[Bbbananas]

snap!
Although I have a very wide catholic taste in music (no - for heathens, that doesn't mean I like religious music) :-)

[LoftyLottie2]

Me too Salla! - (Catholic tastes that is). Going to put a Kinks CD on now to help me through the housework!!!

I remember a couple of years ago seeing this group for the first time on a late night BBC2 programme one Friday. I must admit that it was purely by accident, I had no idea who they were and, being honest, I was totally judgemental about Antony, thinking "What a big girl's blouse!"

But I ended up watching the whole programme and couldn't help but marvel at that totally unique voice of Antony's(even if I still couldn't help thinking what an oddbod he was).

I totally agree with LoftyLottie that it is something to be watched alone and when in a soulful kind of mood.

Very weird but yes, Salla, also quite wonderful.

[LoftyLottie2]

This is one of my favourites from the Album, Salla.

I don't care if I am weird! ;o)
