So, to start with, here are the allmusic guides with listening options to some people I've been listening to recently:
Dandi Wind
planningtorock
Anthony and his Johnsons
I really like all these artists for the sense of "Why not" that appears to me to soak their music (of course, if you disagree feel free to explain why), the craziness of the costumes, and the way they seem to be queering and "funning up" what could be intensely dull, dry forms: for example, Dandi Wind is supposedly "performance art", but strangely I don't want to run from it.
There's obviously a tradition of this kind of thing- Bowie, the whole of Glam- but with something like Anthony or planningtorock the whole shape of the music has changed, it's not "rock mit cabaret", it's, well, cabaret (or is it? Again, if I'm wrong, do tell).
Do you like too? If so, what else is good along these loose lines? If not, why, and what should we be listening to instead? |
