Natasha Khan spills the beans to rolling stone about Scott Walker appearing on her song "The Big Sleep"




“That song was meant to be drag queen’s dying song and I wanted it to be very theatrical. I was trying to sing the low part like a man but when I did, I just heard Scott Walker’s voice in my head,” she says. “It was all done by e-mail and we didn’t even meet. I sent him the song with some notes and he sent it back saying he really tried to get into character and that he hoped he had done it justice — which he definitely has! He also said it was the quietest he’d sung in years.”

it's an old ass article but i've wondering about this ~collaboration~.

the one about bjork joining led zeppelin LOL APRIL FEWLZ

finally it's april!!!!!! seeing Franz Ferdinand on the 19th for eight time. hope they start incorporating the electronic bits of lucid dreams into the live version. the last i heard it, it was the pre-tonight version.

TG on the 23rd OH MY GOD I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE IT.

the new bat for lashes album is very good. haven't been listening to much else & and the song daniel was stuck in my head all day yesterday. even if the music is not your cup of tea, you gotta admit the album cover (see below) is pretty neat. never listened to bat for lashes before this but i remember reading that she would open her shows covering 'le petit chevalier' by nico, thought i might like this girl. you won me over, natasha khan. see you in san francisco in june.

The news is full of stories about people cutting back on their spending. What thrifty measures have you taken since the end of the economy as we know it?

i wanna see 'lawrence of belgravia' real real bad.


With its beautifully composed opening shots of brown medicine bottles, hypodermic syringes and overflowing ashtrays, and accompanying crestfallen voiceover as the singer explained his forthcoming eviction...

WHAT

this is so depressing.


Memorably described as “a victim of his own experiment” in David Cavanagh’s The Creation Records Story and a casualty of Britpop’s hedonistic game-playing with street-level drugs in the mid 90s, the once teetotal Lawrence now looks like some forsaken wraith, the ashen ghost of juvenile pop dreams thwarted. And while there remains dark comedy in his world-view, particularly on the unsuitability of the name Lawrence in the world of pop (“My brother? Dead lucky! He’s called Sam! Works on a market!”), the smile soon freezes on the face, as when Kelly’s camera scrolls down hand-written details of a personal ad Lawrence is thinking of posting, moving from a list of near comic dislikes (“sewers, Burma, families, vegetables”) to a shorter list of his likes (“Pooping, genital mutilation”).
