*it's a cover album.
Scratch My Back
But still. Pretty exciting right?
What's that you say? NO!?!?
SIR YOU OBVIOUSLY DO NOT KNOW WHO THE GREAT SIR GABRIEL IS COVERING
It's some cool stuff, got some Talking Heads, Arcade Fire, some Bowie, even radiohead is up there.
The songs he's covering are listed on the front page of his website: www.imfuckingbaldnowjesuschrist.biz
ALSO.
There is to be a second disc where he gets the covered artists to cover some songs he has done.
I really hope someone does Shock the Monkey or Games Without Frontiers.
Discuss this album sirs.
Dammit all peter.
I'd rather he write some new material. Where's the faux African prog rock shit he used to whip around?
I dont want to hear him cover fucking radiohead.
And the song choices are downright bizarre.
He goes from Bon Iver to Lou Reed to the Magnetic Fields.
On the other hand, he's probably just trying to flex his creative muscle and get all chummy with some of the big cats so the album sells well.
I want more Biko.
