This band always makes me think of that 'delicacy' of London's East End, jellied eels:

It could just be the version of the song someone uploaded.  There are a lot of different renditions of songs that have been "cleaned up" for radio station airplay (gotta protect the ears and sensibilities of our tender little children, afterall - like they've never heard or dropped the "F-bomb" before...) {#Wink}

That CD cover just creeps me out to the point where I prolly wouldn't buy the thing, even if I did like the music... Yeah, I'm a dork.{#Stupid}

This whole album is great. The song Rags to Rags is one of my all-time favorites off that CD.

Saw a BBC special,  Parallel Worlds, Parallel Lives, on the lead singer, Mark Everett.  It's actually more about his relationship with his father who is the physcist who credited with the concept of parallel universes in quantum mechanics.  A very interesting story and family, but somewhat depressing and tragic by anyone's standards.  An interesting look at an artist and the events and people that shaped him.   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Oliver_Everett



 

Thanks for the information.  I like his music and it's good to have some background.
