  1. JOHN GRANT
    Boy From Michigan
    2021 Europe 2xLP

    After discovering and really falling in love with The Czars this past week, I went down to my local shop today to see if they had any John Grant solo albums.

    THIS was the only one they had, and man did I get lucky, because it’s really good.

    It’s a little different than The Czars, but in a very cool way.
    A little more #electronic and #synth leaning, but still features Grant’s incredible voice, along with some clarinet and saxophone sprinkled in there as well.

    Gonna have to spend this week listening to some more of Grant’s solo work somehow, because I really like this.

  2. Every now and then an opening track touches on perfection, almost reaching through speakers to grab listeners with unusually perfect production and arrangement. I'm always on the lookout for them.

    Some retro examples I admire enough to feel they are classic are U2's 'Where The Streets Have No Name', John Grant's grippingly immersive and sonically playful 'Pale Green Ghosts', Grace Jones's 'Walking In The Rain', Fiona Apple's enchanting 'Extraordinary Machine', George Michael's 'Faith', Kate Bush's awe-inspiring epic 'Running Up That Hill', Madonna's 'Hung Up', Scissor Sisters' 'Laura', Marvin Gaye's 'What's Going On', Eurythmics' 'Here Comes The Rain Again', Propaganda's ' 'Dream Within A Dream', Goldfrapp's 'Ooh La La' and so many more.

    I'd say the 'So Ambiguous' opener from the latest excellent Röyksopp album is pretty perfect.

  3. Because we Queers need to hear things like this right now, and so do the rest of you...

    "Don't listen to anyone; get answers on your own
    Even if it means that sometimes you feel quite alone
    No one on this planet can tell you what to believe
    People like to talk a lot, and they like to deceive"
