'War Stories'


Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach  

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Aha! I have another review here.

I was curious to see how Smay would tackle the album and I admit I had doubts if one could pull off an appreciation of such a record and not sound arse-lickey or descend into tiresome Waits cliches ( his voice, his love for blues and so on)but I was amazed. Smay not only gives the reader a whole new angle on Waits but also manages to create the same feel as Swordfish.... within his writing style. Sometimes dark, sometimes freaky, cool and casual. This is the true masterstroke of the book itself.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sometimes dark, sometimes freaky, cool and casual.

That could describe Mr. Smay as well.

'Cept he's mostly dark....

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

I did something like that with "Fugitive Motel" and "Great Expectations", too! Guy Garvey sure has a voice on him.

The new single is harder and darker and bluesier than their usual stuff. Dunno if that's representative of the whole album, but I dig it.
