Bonny Prince Billy

Ah - just seen BPB is at the Shepherd's Bush tonight and there are tickets left ... wonder if Matt will want to go.

I'm watching BPB and the Cairo Gang do 'Troublesome Houses' on Youtube. I admire the way he fits the text over the music. It's a blindingly good example of how to make prosey lyrics match a musical arrangement. And in delivering it with compelling physical and vocal style.

Gosh I'm quite gushing. I love it when you get a thing for a song. It's so all-consuming for a little while.

If you want to know the version I'm on about it's at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyfnDNUP6Do
