Caught this track from The Divine Comedy on Later... the way I seem to be getting new(?) music lately (other than Rhapsody and my Mog-droogies, natch) and was digging it instantly.
Anyone ever catch Neil and any of the band's incarnations live?
I can't say it any better than this, so I'll just post the lyrics:
there's so many ghosts out there on these streets
I always hate to ponder who's under those sheets
every little thing is temporary
if I stay here any longer I'll end up very very scary
it's just a general freak that is boiling in me
I'm terrified what it's gonna dislodge
I done shit everywhere that there is to eat
guess it's time for me to get the fuck out of Dodge
I bent over backwards to misbehave
It's a holy wonder I just didn't flip on over into an early grave
I showed my behind so frequently
My dear old mother she can't even recognize me

he looks like he was thinking these lyrics when his photo was taken, he is shying away for the Jaberwockee from 'Alice -Through the looking glass'
DERMAHRK ....the voice...it definetely needs to grow on you

Did VIC just take too much acid or something? Dude looks wicked horrified of his own reflection....so much so, I had to post another comment so you'd know I was creeped out....he looks so dang jumpy....BOOOO!!!! "Ahhhhh!!"....that was Vic screaming and running away lika-da-little-girl.
VAN , you tha MAN
This is the track that sets everything right in the world, the voice that sooths all stress of the day, and the language that I have difficulty understanding upon hearing (in most cases) but can read and write with some degree of accuracy. Maybe its that French Canadian (my Mom's side) and Parisian French is so different to the ear - after all.
Autour De Lucie was an album that I borrowed at the office in NYC , and loved so much, I ended up trading it for a local musician's debut who's name escapes me now - but he was friends with the upstairs neighbor when we lived on Bowery and Spring.
Odd how all of this just bounces around in my mind when writing the post - but when listening to the music, no matter what I was thinking, all is forgotten, and like the title of the album (and post) it at least feels, like I am unable to move.

superb! can't say i've seen them live. bet it'd be a good show though.
brittanybf: glad you enjoyed it - I think that it would awesome to see them live - or even the odd orchestral tour that he's done would be amazing as well - usually sells out... Cheers!
I must I've lost track of Neil Hannon after his "Fin de Siècle" album. The last time I heard him must have been some collaboration to a yet another tribute album for Serge Gainsbourg. So thank you very much for this booster jab.
