No seriously. I know someone suggested The idler wheel but though I've been through the entire thread three times I can't find the post to determine who it was that suggested it. Little help? I assume I'm just missing it, like a blind spot, every time, but I swear I can't see the post...
Josef K, here. The "search this thread" feature is your friend.

Anyway, I wonder if you'd like The Idler Wheel by Fiona Apple. It's a great album, she can sing, not too experimental, and the percussion reminded me a little of Rain Dogs the first time I heard it. Will you add that to the list?

Yeah, you're both right. It was that blind spot: I saw the thing about Brian Wilson and didn't read further. Thanks guys.

The band he initially gained fame with. Without SYL he would never have had the clout to go solo.

First I ever heard of him was back in 1993 when he played on Vai's Sex and Religion LP.

Being a guy who mostly knows him from Strapping Young Lad, I am amused to think of him on a Steve Vai album.

I think he was only 20 when it was recorded. He also posed for the album cover.

Do you not like aggressive music in general or just not punk?

Title: I see a darkness
Artiste: Bonnie Prince Billy
Genre: Folk/Indie

Love
1. Like his voice, it's quite soothing in a dark kind of way.
2. Piano is lovely too.
3. Nice relaxed vibe to the music, bit Cohenish? I also hear a little Chris Isaak. Well, I do.
4. I like when he gets a bit intense too, a little tougher like on “Madeline-Mary”.
5. Really like “Death to everyone”: favourite so far. I love the way it seems like a threat, an attack, a curse, but turns out to be simply an acknowledgement of the inevitable: death to everyone will come. Beautiful.

Hate
Nothing really.

End result: A bit morose, a bit downbeat but very enjoyable.

So, Love or Hate? This is a Love

Chances of a full review: 5/10
