[kj] OT: go away white

[folk devil]

I think David J explains things in an interview with the LA Weekly:
 
"During my interview with the eloquent, surprisingly forthcoming David J. at the Met, I couldn't help but veer off a bit and ask about the new, self-released Bauhaus disc, Go Away White, a collection that is sure to have goth, garage and glam-rock fans alike bowing down. 
He calls the experience "hell and rose petals," an analogy you can take both literally (on the band's last tour, the stage was always covered with roses) and metaphorically (he adds that "the thorns were always intact"). 
"There was one incident where we had a big fight in the studio. We weren't going to carry on, and we were just going to dump the album," he reveals. "We were waiting for Peter [Murphy] to turn up. Our beef was with him. So he comes in, and he does this shocking and brilliant thing. Pure Zen. He comes in, and he just spits rose petals in our faces. It just cut through everything. We couldn't argue with that. So we just went in and continued recording." 
But the friendship didn't stay flowery for long, and after honoring their last tour dates, J. says, they were ready for space, lots of it, "like continents." He states categorically that the release is their last. The End. Curtain."

Surprisingly good. It's love and rockets with pete murphy as guest singer! Which leads to my only gripe, is Mr Murphy unable to restrain that ego? It momentarily spoils some really nice music and production. 'the dog's a vapour', is my current fave :)8/10.> From: dpeace at bigfoot.com> To: gathering at misera.net> Date: Fri, 29 Feb 2008 17:21:11 +0000> Subject: Re: [kj] OT: go away white> > I think it's great.
