Antony popular with poshos
Posted:
Time Out has revealed that Antony and the Johnsons' breakthrough success of 2005, I Am A Bird Now, was particularly popular with residents of the poshest of London's many boroughs.
The album was a top-ten seller in Islington (I used to live there, fact), Hampstead and Richmond. So what? Well, overall it rolled in at 132 in the 2005 best-sellers list, making its top ten position in those boroughs a little noteworthy. Ish. Gimme a break, it's freakin' home time.
In totally unrelated news, a US version Top Of The Pops is going to be broadcast over there fairly soon, some Bay City Rollers people have been busted for drugs, MySpace is to set live a UK-specific version of the site within the next 30 days that'll focus initially on music, and that one in Babyshambles that isn't Pete has apparently rejoined the band after a minor falling out - he was spotted ON STAGE at their last show, where they went on no less than 90 minutes late. The cunts.
GOOD FREAKIN' NIGHT SEATTLE.

I hate
Antony and the Johnson's. Can't understand the appeal of them for the life of me. Let the poshos have em. And the fucking Others and Smiths too.

Told you so
I seem to remember saying on here a while back that only rich, white liberals liked Antony.
And in unrelated ideas, has HolyMoly reclaimed the word cunt and made it much less offensive now? It wasn't until Selfish Cunt came along that the NME gave up on the censorship of the c*nt.

Islington

Right...
The Others being compared to The Smiths being compared to each other?
Has the world gone mad????

tossers
I live in Islington. You try going out in the middle of the night being "posh" - what the fuck does that mean anyway!?
-
Diver..
You're the fucking best. Get this man on DiS Radio. Don't cock it up though.
-
It's only a commercial..etc;
Lighten up on Mr. Diver… the fella’s clearly stated he’s a tired bunny… plus it’s clearly comedic commentary. You wanted to know about the imminent Foo Fighters acoustic tour? Nope. Wanted to chuckle at in an increasingly Galloway obsessed world… YES!
Who cares about a cunt named Patrick re-grouping with a cunt called Peter? ….An news on Cosmic Rough Riders?????? -
Not really...
I just have a similar hatred of them both.
-
What a load
of utter twaddle
Karl put a record on

Finsbury Park is in Islington, as is Archway.
Enough said.

"It wasn't until Selfish Cunt came along that NME gave up on censorship of the word 'cunt"
And now they swear in every sentence (bullet point) they write.
Also, Andy Capper is a God of music journalism. Except for his like of the others - that's misguided.

I
live in Archway.
And I have Antony and the Johnson's Album.
Archway is not posh. I am though.
