27/09/2012, So apparently it's true that one day, you become like your teachers.

Chronique du Pully For Noise.
Heureusement plus âcre au niveau du songwriting on avait The Divine Comedy qui a pris le parti de jouer tout seul avec son piano, en vieux crooner bossu qu'il est. Mauvaise pioche pour tous ceux qui se trouvaient plus loin que le cinquième rang où la magie retombait. Vraiment, c'est pas idéal d'écou...

Chronique du festival Oxegen en 2006.
For an established artist like Neil Hannon, 4pm seems a rather modest slot. Nevertheless the Pet Sounds tent is packed to capacity as the debonair son of a preacher man prepares to take the stage. Ably supported by his Divine Comedy cohorts, Hannon careers through a bracing ‘Diva Lady’.

Songs that scare children … | Robert McMillen
Who’d have thought that death was so life-enhancing. Other people’s deaths of course, fictional people at that and creatures whose often grizzly ends have been wrapped up in a shroud of melody and sung for the entertainment of all God’s chillun.
