So, L and I did something last night that always proves to be entertaining: get ripped and watch Into the Labyrinth, the Dead Can Dance video.

I finally noticed something really amusing...

In one bit of interview-ness, Brendan Perry is talking about Lisa Gerard's background. "She grew up in a Greek-Turkish community [blah blah blah] and so was exposed to more.. ah.. [thumbs nose] exotic musical influences."

Later, Lisa is talking about her background herself, and without directly saying so, lets us know that her first musical instrument was an accordion.

How exotic. :P

Their bickering must have been legendary.

[edit]

Here's Brendan Perry. Hairless, like a big mole rat. And he dances!

I've been listening to DCD of late too... hmm must be the season. I didn't know they had two vids out I've only seen "Towards the Within". As long as I just listen to the music and attempt to forget that most of what she's singing is totally made-up nonsense I really enjoy it...

er, yeah, you're right, it's Toward the Within.

I don't mind nonsense lyrics. What she says makes sense, about expression without the "prisons of language" and all that. Besides, if it really were in a non-European language, I wouldn't understand any of it anyway.

Kinda like Sigur Ros. I read a review once of a person who understood enough Icelandic to grasp what the guy was singing at a U.S. concert, and it translated to "You don't know what I'm singing, you just like my pretty voice." He's right, I don't and I do. :P

*laugh* well he DOES have a pretty voice!
