Dust is good but this is much more in the Love Hysteria/Deep vein, but, without all the reverb and overproduction.
― akm, Thursday, 9 June 2011 01:25 (twelve years ago) link
is it anything like Unshattered? I didn't really like Unshattered. I think the reverb and overproduction is what I like about Love Hysteria and Deep.

Hmm, listening now, I don't know. Album didn't take off for me until "I Spit Roses" four songs in; the first three on first blush are just kinda there RAWK songs that happen to have Peter Murphy singing. But "Never Fall Out" follows on nicely from "I Spit Roses" so let's see how the rest goes.

I lost interest after "Holy Smoke". Someone propose a compilation covering his last 20 years...
That Wild Birds one from last decade isn't bad. Ned will correct me if necessary. I liked the inclusion of stuff like "Deep Ocean Vast Sea."

I'd probably switch out "The Sweetest Drop" for another Should song but that's pretty reasonable as a start, yeah.
Okay this new one definitely is clicking now. Real clunky start, though, almost seems like they frontloaded it with the eh stuff to make everything else after it stand out more.

i guess you can get away with when your fans are for real.
He's doing an instore here at am0eba sf on the 23rd (and apparently in LA on the 16th). There's enough good tracks on Ninth to get me pretty jazzed about it.

Wild Birds is fantastic, and I'll side with Ned/aero on the supermassivelove for Dust, amazing album

Finding out he had meth in his car makes me think he's been living a life of impossible debauchery in Turkey. I can only imagine how dark this man's life has been.
― kaleb h. (Everything You Like Sucks), Tuesday, 19 March 2013 01:38 (eleven years ago) link
It's so strange. I've known someone who works for him for over a decade now -- admittedly I haven't checked recently to see if that's still the case -- and I've interviewed and met him a couple of times along the way, most recently in passing back in December at his Bauhaus-themed show before New Year's. The public face is always just that but had to say he always seemed like one of the most level-headed guys in music I'd met in the music business.
― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 19 March 2013 01:41 (eleven years ago) link
xpost yeah for me it was more seeing that he was living in Turkey, like oh well of course he had meth, lol
aging rock star + Turkey = life of impossible debauchery CASE CLOSED

The weird thing about this is that the hit & run occurred just a couple blocks away from me, and it's part of my territory (so-to-speak) when I'm taking an afternoon walk around the neighborhood.
You know how much mileage I could get out of a "let me tell you about the time Peter Murphy tried to run me down with his Subaru" story?
