Funny to read American dudes talking about Kevin Coyne, a lot of his stuff must be well nigh incomprehensible to them, but Mark E. Smith seems to get away with it. Still don't know how many of the Americans have heard "Ey Up, Me Duck" or "The Miner's Song", which don't make much sense outside Derbyshire let alone the UK!

Thread about annoying and ridiculous singing voices being best made me think of Kevin & Dagmar, of course...

(xp) Just realized that Magma is being used as incidental music in this clip.

Dude needs a good box set.

In fact, that gig that has the full suite of "Marjory Razorblade" needs re/issuing in full!

Well, Mark, you probably want to look out for "Kevin Coyne – I Want My Crown" the 4CD anthology, which has two versions of the "suite" (but no "Looking for the River" for some reason - Keep that "V" sampler, oh you have!)
That set is going for silly money, but there's an MP3 d/l version on Amazon, so you know, etc.

At my daughter’s honor band concert and one of the principals of the participating high schools is named Kevin Coyne.
