Annoying and ridiculous singing voices are the best voices

i wrote about this very thing once:

"Wackiness and weariness often walk hand in hand where rock and roll singers are concerned. A listener's own personal threshold for whims, quirks, kinks, and vocal contortions, and their willingness to follow an "inspired" performer from point abba to point zabba, is subjective enough as to make one man's pork soda delish in every way, and another man's frog brigade merely soggy to the touch."

haha that piece ruuules

I recently saw Viv Albertine praising Kate Bush for having the guts to sing as crazily as she does with so much confidence, because Viv said it was hard for herself to get the confidence to perform again without feeling silly, when she hadn't been at it for a while. Does Viv sing a lot? I'm not a Slits expert.

Love Mark Hollis. I appreciated Karen Dalton but couldn't properly get into her.
