Yes, on the subject of the great man's show this Sunday night (26th)and his new album out the end of June, I'm mystified as to why he's not given the credit he deserves for his brill live performances (both Mansions and solo) as well as the great allbums he's made now for yonks.
As singular, surreal, brutally honest and individual an Irish born and bred songwriter there has never been, yet the amount of 'You're It', mediocre, derivative, 'next big thing' crap you see hawked around Dublin in comparison makes the mind boggle!
Post rock my arse and ditto other instumentalist weaklings, is there anyone knocking around to touch him in a lyrical songwriting sense?
