His shadow will remain, even after he is gone...
Went to see Joseph Arthur in the Botanique yesterday night. Apparently he's my long lost twin brother: we're both crazy geniuses! The man makes mad songs about death, despair and suicide (compared to him the new Depeche Mode -their best yet, Grobelny any comment you make will be deleted- sounds like the fucking Spice Girls) that you hum along to all day. He was discovered by Peter Gabriel and signed to his Real World-label for some time and Anton Corbijn made the video to his "greatest hit" In the sun.
Mr. Arthur, his guitar and some fancy equipment sounded like the best band you've ever seen and apart from the amazing music, the man painted a modern tableau whilst performing Crying like a man... Sometimes very clever use of the pedal-steel-electro-synth-guitar-from-hell, sometimes just the worlds greatest acoustic singer songwriter, there is no way to start summing up highlights. Well, apart from the very-different-from-the-album Can't exist and Leave us alone, the tears-in-my-eyes A smile that explodes, the bone chilling Mercedes (I know you will rise, when you talk about what they've done...), the I-can-die-happy-now-thank-you Speed of light and the-even-better-then-the-real-thing-kick-ass-cover-of-the-millennium There is a light that never goes out courtesy of Mr. Moz.
Oh, and immediately after the show I bought the live album: every gig is recorded and burned straight after the concert. So if any of you don't believe me: I will bore you to death with that CD for the next year or five...
I bow to the, King Arthur! May God's love be with you, always.
