art brut vs satan vs frank black
Dear God. Everything I love about rock and roll has just combined into some kind of glorious post-modern singularity.
What the hell am I talking about? Let’s see:
Art Brut, probably the funniest/smartest band going around, also loaded with cynical English attitude and more genuine punk credibility than a thousand American bands who do nothing other than have bad hair and play too fast: CHECK- Frank Black, musical hero, fat wino, surrealist musical voyager who gave the world the priceless gift of the Pixies: CHECK
Satan: CHECK
If you have any idea what any of the above are, you will share my excitement that not only is there a new Art Brut album being recorded as we speak, but that it also features the title “Art Brut vs Satan”, and, even more incrediblyexcitinglyriffic, it is being produced by none other than Frank Black. Articles: one, two.
“I was just telling [Francis] that I love naming songs that are already song names,” Argos says. “Last album, we had ‘I Will Survive.’ This one also has a song called ‘Positively Fifth Street.’ That’s one more than Bob Dylan!
I’m going to go out on a limb and say that it is not logically possible for this album to be bad.
This is going to be the greatest thing. Sweet.
I still can’t believe what a wino FB really was. And how bad that crowd was.
And how bad the attribution of my photo is right here!
Yeah…what rocker drinks wine on stage? And from a glass?! They’re supposed to be drinking bourbon from the bottle.
But he was awesome…
Yes. Respect for the IP of others is not a strong point around here.
When I saw Mark Knopfler he explained that (a) was so lazy he sat on a stool near the front of the stage most of the night (this was at the Entertainment Centre) and (b) that even though it looked like he was drinking tea is was actually whisky in a mug.
