Badly Drawn Boy

I think everything he’s done has been great. Have you fed the fish? is sonically, one of my favorite produced albums from that time period. His last seemed like the first in a great series and I was sad to see him essentially disappear. My guess is it was due to some mental health/personal issues and the fact his album sales have been in decline. I am hoping one day for a comeback and for people to realize how great he always was. And yes he’s definitely a dick but it seems like a kind of defense mechanism.

i saw him at V one year (shut up) and he was trying to get the crowd to sing the doo-ba-doo-ba bit from once around the block but kept stopping it because the crowd weren’t getting the rhythm right. he was like ‘i know the phrasing is hard but that’s cause i’m a genius’. went on for ages and was just painful. never been able to listen to him since that

His new album is terrific.

Loved the debut album, especially the lo-fi production. One of those ever diminishing returns with each album artists.
