Then I realized that there were only three songs on the record that I kept repeating-ironically the most pop influenced tracks. "Monstrance Clock" became played enough that my children have been scolded by their mother for singing "Come together for lucifer's son." And because I haven't been able to stop listening to it, my daughter continues to sing along,cleverly changing the words to "Come together, together in the sun" to avoid drama with her mother. A friend of mine also made the comparison to BOC and urged me to pick up Ghost's debut. I just bought it on vinyl and threw in a Ghost t-shirt in the shopping cart for good measure. This clearly demonstrates that I enjoy Ghost's schtick and their music more than what this review would indicate. My cousin told me about the Beatles cover too-love it. And the new Roky Erickson cover is pretty fucking sweet too. Thanks for stopping by while browsing the internets and thanks for your comments.Todd Totalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08985141400507835685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26208080.post-42562181985773577272013-12-05T19:17:39.385-06:002013-12-05T19:17:39.385-06:00And seeing as you also like the Beatles……& in ...And seeing as you also like the Beatles……& in the event you didn't see this in your research…below is a link to Ghost covering "Here comes the sun".

I'm charming that way.<br /><br />We clearly like much of the same music. I was ready to be your bitch after your Bon Scott columns; after reading your work about Accept/Udo, I went ahead & bought a gimp suit. It's a little tight.<br /><br />I'm not as well-read on Ghost as you are; then again, I don't have a blog. The common connection that many have made is with early 70's BOC….& I would agree with that. My halcyon days of limos & cocaine used old BOC for a soundtrack.<br /><br />Now for a guy like you who was (very appropriately) publicly respecting the Angry Samoans, I'm trying to figure out your tone re: Ghost BC. I'm 50 years old. I think they're cute. <br /><br />Their schtick doesn't bother me in the least; I like it. I don't try to over-analyze it. Maybe they just want to stick out. Maybe its a Nordic-pagan thing. Or good taste in robes. To me, it's non-boring, & that's good enough.<br /><br />I can't describe their music as well as you, but I can say a few things. It has a circus atmosphere. Timing changes. Dissonance & melody. Sure its over the top & doesn't make too much sense, but take a look at some of those early BOC lyrics…..<br /><br />Maybe I just like it because it makes my children cry.<br /><br />Anyway, I think you have an extraordinary site, which I found on lark. Peace out.actuallythatsnotchocolatenoreply@blogger.com
