SWANS - God Damn The Sun
Need I say more?
I'm rectracting what I said several months ago that this song may have been about Jean Genet, as somebody else suggested about a year ago. I've been listening to all of the songs on this album pretty closely recently, and this one definitely isn't about him! JG spent ime in Spain but died in Pari...

@swans1997 I don't pay attention to lyrics that much myself. Just intrigued by the mythology that's surfacing here. Great posting of a great song!

SWANS - God Damn The Sun
Need I say more?
@swans1997 Well, Pasco did say it was a 'hazy' recollection. Whether the absinthe drinker story is true or not, whatever, but I wouldn't be surprised if at least one Gira's songs was about Genet. I haven't read any of his stuff either, but I saw a play he'd written recently, and it was pretty int...

SWANS - God Damn The Sun
Need I say more?
@swans1997 Well, legend has it, if you'd care to read their entry on Wikipedia, that SWANS in their early days were indeed influenced by Jean Genet. Genet spent time in jail, as did Michael Gira. And he had a troubled upbringing, as did Gira, by his own admission. So I wouldn't rule out the Genet...

Did Michael Gira's wife Siobhan Duffy ever sing whilst a member of this band? I know she was in the band at one stage, but doing what I don't know. Good stuff, thanx for posting!

@WeHaveExplosive I read somewhere that the current CD edition of 'Feel Good Now' isn't the same as the original double album and isn't as good. Can any SWANS nuts out there confirm whether this is true? This footage is great stuff, by the way. Thanks for posting!

@dieselrepublic What's the verdict on 'Admiral fell Promises'? I haven't rushed out and purchased it yet, although I probably really should have.

Captain Beefheart- Lick My Decals Off Baby
From the album of the same name.
It's a shame that this album isn't more well known. It really is a fine companion piece to the madness of the 'Trout'.

@Putyourknifinme He actually seems like quite a self effacing and affable kind of fellow. He sent me a personal e mail reply from the Young God site when I made a casual enquiry as to whether any copies of Thor Harris' illustrated book were still available. So is the very first SWANS EP available...

Phil Lynott & Gary Moore - Out In The Fields
@PallasExecutioner Yeah, I hadn't kept up with Gary's career since the '80's, but the 'Corridors of Power', 'Run for Cover' and 'Wild Frontier' albums were all unquestionably excellent. And of course Lizzy's 'Black Rose' album. A great loss.

@coltsuperocean10 Nice comment. I'm definitely on the 'Frankie Boyle is a Talentless Cunt' bandwagon. I've tried to figure out what everybody sees in him to make him 'comedic flavour of the month'. I really have. But I still don't get it.

Frankie Boyle: the most unfunny, precictable Scottish so-called 'comic' ever to come out of Glasgow. More overrated even than Lady Gaga, he is truly third rate.

Swans - I Remember Who You Are
From the 1989 album The Burning World
@MaitreDJ That's a nice personal story, but it sounds too uncannily like the cover of Gira's 'Drainland' solo effort or the dust jacket of his book 'The Consumer' to be optimistic. I'm with you on the Pentangle comparison, however. It's possible to like SWANS (even the early lacerating stuff), Pe...

Swans - Coward (live)
The extreme era in the eighties. From the "A Long Slow Screw" video tape. Cathartic performance, mountains of sound without melody!
@steinber Unlikely as it may seem, it appears that he does! I recently read somewhere that he's married to Siobhan Duffy and they moved out of NY to the Catskills. They have a young daughter who sings on one track on the current album. Cute, huh?

@steinber I'm not a Prong fan, but Ted Parsons is a knockout drummer. I seem to recall reading an interview where he said he'd really enjoyed playing in Swans. He was with them on the tours from which the material on 'Public Castration' & 'Feel Good Now' were culled, no? I didn't know Michael Gir...

Grant Hart: "2541"
@lightfighter442 I hope that isn't true, because it's very sad to think that Grant's still a mess and doesn't pay attention to his kids. I didn't realise he had more than one, in fact I only recently found out that he has a daughter.

@AlternativeMarco Zen Arcade is definitely the best, but, (my personal taste again of course), I would have it up there as joint best with 'Metal Circus' and 'New Day Rising'. The holy trinity of Minneapolis noise pop.

@Jigfm Yup. I owned the CD for years before reading the liner notes properly and realising that it was in fact a compilation of dates from the final 1987 tour and not a document of one single gig.
