I saw him on the telly at the weekend and I nearly pissed myself. What absolute fucking rubbish. I couldn't listen to the first album, seems like this one is more of the same. We've got a friend who's a hormonal, Jewish, borderline-suicidal, late-middle-aged Sociology teacher, she's trapped in a doomed eons-old relationship with a supremely dysfunctional closeted gay guy. When she phones up for a weepy drone do you know who she sounds like? Shall I tell you? She sounds like Anthony from Anthony and the Johnsons. Fucking hell...

See, I'm harbouring a suspicion that there's actually a big joke going down and I'm pissed that I'm not in on it. Like, all these people going, "Oh, that bloke from Anthony and the Johnsons, hasn't he got a terrific voice [snigger]... and he's got such a unique look, he's a real inspiration [sniggerlol]... he's more like a living work of art than a human being [collapsegiggle]" and I'm not on the inside of the gag. But, you know, I'm not gonna just jump in and rate him on the off-chance that there's a big elaborate joke being played, because rating this guy would just be utterly wrong. I mean, he sounds like a sad Clanger.

No. I've only ever heard one of his songs once. I thought it sounded a lot like a hormonal, Jewish, borderline-suicidal, late-middle-aged Sociology teacher, trapped in a doomed eons-old relationship with a supremely dysfunctional closeted gay guy, Who's phoned up for a weepy drone. Not an easy sound to get right, therefore he's a genius, the big wannabe-trans-sexual weirdo. Grow some fucking eyebrows Anthony, or aren't you man enough?

and what the fuck is this quote? FUCKING VERY FUCking insightful Anthony, what a genius... Hegarty: "I read this article about dreaming last night and it said when you go to sleep one of the functions of REM is to file and store all the information you've collected over the day. "It is interesting to think that going to sleep you're just processing - as long as we're here we're gathering information…which ultimately becomes our conscious expression." Posts: 979

"You are my sister and I love you, may all of your dreams come true" It's lyrics like this that show the gulf in talent between the likes of Westlife and geniuses such as Antony.
Apparently he's doing a duet with Shane McGowan soon, they're re-doing the Irish Rover.
