I just love this song...how about you?

Posted almost 4 years ago
Here's one of my very favorite songs, cast out into the void...if no one's reading this, I might as well post things I like, right?It's called "Plastic Elvis" and it's the first song on 1991's Son of Walter by Bevis Frond...I don't know what's happened to Bevis Frond (really Nick Salamon and whoever else is around), but it's been an awfully long time since I heard anything about him.

  1. Cody B says It's pretty raw emotionally..muted somewhat by the sound, but the power comes through nonetheless. I like it. Another artist I'd heard of but never heard. thanks.

  2. jenny says He's amazing...that whole record, Son of Walter is incredible, but the first three songs kill me.

  3. RobP says I've heard very little Bevis Frond, damn fond of it, thanks for the reminder. Have you heard Salamon's other band, Scorched Earth? They rock a lot harder, good stuff. Either way he tends to remind me of Julian Cope.

  4. dachmo says I really Like Bevis Frond, I did a post on him 10 months ago (holy shit!) >"Here":http://mog.com/dachmo/blog_post/102832< I first picked up North Circular and really loved it then I got some real early stuff and really liked that so whenever I get the chance to look for physical copies of his albums I pick up whatever I don't have, He's got like 20 albums + side projects. Great post thanks for the reminder I haven't listened to him in many months.

  7. jenny says It's seemed kind of echo-chambery here lately. Like you know, "hello...hello...anybody there?"

  8. dachmo says hehe, 'nough said! I've always wanted them to add a function that allowed you to see who at least visited your post because not everybody feels the need to comment, this way you at least get some satisfaction for taking the time to write something. Or at least a number counter for how many times the whole post page was looked at would be fine as well.

  10. scotfree says My first exposure to BF, and I quite like it. Aww, Jenny, ya make me feel guilty - but crap, I pared my emails down to 80 on Friday and now I'm back to 230 - I don't know how to handle it. Waitaminit....clones!! Here, here Dach - they used to have (at least) that there counter that told ya how many times your post song was played. That was until the number "one" became so popular...
