Hi Mr. P!<br /><br />I've no doubt Simels would hate this record -- but remember he despises all things Bowie as well, so there's that.<br /><br />Well, it actually is a jokey record if by that we mean funny & unpretentious but I don't think we do :-)<br /><br />And it's been a good 20-30 years, but i do remember digging the LP quite a lot -- the main deal for me was, it made me hear some (good) songs in an entirely new way -- even Hard Rain -- but yeah Bryan's whole notion of "what if the person singing 'it's my party' was a sad Dracula" -- yeah that concept brought a smile to my face too :-)Who Am Us Anyway?https://www.blogger.com/profile/08260586634760800759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116501776625667465.post-39767330472716343812013-01-31T20:18:14.403-08:002013-01-31T20:18:14.403-08:00I still have this LP, but lacking a turntable have...I still have this LP, but lacking a turntable haven't listened to it in decades -- thanks for the reminder of a great album.<br /><br />I always thought of Bella Lugosi's Dracula saying, "Cry if i VANT to!" but that was pre-zombie era & you're right: would have worked well mixed in the soundtrack of, say, Shaun of the Dead. Also standouts in my memory: Baby I Don't Care, out elvis-ing elvis; & come to think of it, wasn't this the record with Hard Rain ... googling ... yes! Well. At the time i thought that was great too; must revisit ... must find turntable ... i have the amp & speakers ready to goWho Am Us Anyway?https://www.blogger.com/profile/08260586634760800759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116501776625667465.post-61356290793664489552013-01-31T18:06:47.442-08:002013-01-31T18:06:47.442-08:00Back in the 70s I remember reading Steve Simels...Back in the 70s I remember reading Steve Simels' review of the Bryan Ferry LP from which this came. I was too afraid to check it out after reading that review, and now I know why! Though I do enjoy Roxy Music in small doses, this kind of jokey lounge warbling just does not work for me.Mister Pleasanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15525855662696903836noreply@blogger.com
