Antony and the Johnsons

What do the people of drowning sound think of this band?

I thought it was pretty normal, but then I found out he's a... man... woman... thing. I've got a photo of him on my MSN... he's painted blue with red hair. After seeing him, his music scares me. Especially 'For today I am a boy'.

Please, tell me I'm not alone.

    when i first heard his voice on 'hope there's someone', i imagined this huge black guy warbling along by a piano.
    when i finally saw antony, i was disappointed to say the least.

      I completely agree. I imagined a black pianist kinda thing.

    I'm not a fan.

    "man... woman... thing"

    harsh.

    erm, can't say I'm scared, I don't like his voice much though.

      I knew what he looked like, and kept meaning to check him out, but didn't get round to hearing any until Mercury night. Now I've heard it, I thought it was absolutely beautiful - I'm going to buy a copy after work today (along with all the Guardian-reading, dinner party-throwing hoardes, I expect!)

    I like it. He probably should scare me, but doesn't. He just seems like some form of gentle bumbling giant. The sort you end up feeling sorry for in fairy stories. I like him.

    And some of the tunes? Wow. The first time I heard Hope There's Someone, I melted. Fucking love it, great stuff.
