the artist as critic


The Hour of Bewilderbeast will be celebrating it's ninth anniversary this June. It's a just-push-play album, and those are my favorites.

The guy is British singer/songwriter Damon Gough. He goes by the stagename Badly Drawn Boy and the namesake is illustrated at right. That is Sam, and he's the main character from a British cartoon from the 1970's. But if you follow that link and scroll to the bottom, you will see that Gough could have really been a number of badly drawn peoples (Arkwright the Horse, particularly). But the boy will do just fine.
