Back in the day (late 90s...?), that song always made me feel a bit frightened and alienated. And that that was her intention (not personally of course, but generally - as a man).
Now I'm not so sure about the last sentence. Sounds like she had someone specific in mind.

Another fine choice there Ben. Last listening to Genesis A Trick Of The Tail on a plane via my Sansa Fuse+.
I really should give Genesis a go... Which album would you folks recommend...?
I'm with you on this question, Doc. As you guys prob know, Peter Gabriel's music hits me in all the right places. Love it. Just love it. But ive never got anywhere much with Genesis despite various dabbles. So I'm interested to see where your query goes.
A big(-ish) band of New York free jazz players making a truly joyous racket. Parker's muscular double bass playing somehow makes itself heard over the squalling horns and keeps it all focused.
Ben may well call it 'Dave music', but we'll have to see.

My first Genesis album was Foxtrot which really sold the band to me. Excellent throughout with healthy dollops of brilliance. If I had to pick a second fave it would be either Trespass or Nursey Cryme. Most fans tend to go for The Lamb..... or Selling England By The Pound but to me they are less good.

That's interesting as it is the last 2 Ive tried and failed with. Will spend some time checking out your recommendations this week. Thanks.

Gave Foxtrot a go last night. There are certain medieval flourishes (in strings and lyrics) that I'm struggling with. But I'm persevering.
I listened to Selling England By The Pound and Foxtrot yesterday, partly to remind myself how much I hated them back in the day. TBH, they weren't as nasty a listen as I expected, but I shan't be going back there for a while ;-)
The last of my post-Christmas/New Year purchases to bite me. It still feels a bit like the man has dentures, but it's nicely played and recorded. Something to come back to from time-to-time to see if it's improved ;-)
On the other hand, this is just fantastic. Drums, piano and viola doing weird things. It's months of listening for the sonically unhinged (did I say that?).
The video is from a live gig, but it's a good taste of the album.
Re Genesis. Like any other catagorised music Prog t'aint for everypeeps, the mentioned flourishes I can see as being make or break. You (plural) gave it a shot and that's what counts. I listen to almost everything that is posted that I'm unfamiliar with and it's all hit and miss. When you encounter something you like it's a great bonus and the best thing about sharing on places like this.

This is a great point, Chris. And leads me to wanna start a new thread......

Have been looking forward to having time to check this out, and it didn't disappoint in its Daveness. Enjoyed it and found it entertaining, for some of the right reasons. I assume they are aware they are all playing in the same room? :-/
And that got me thinking about this, and specifically about how my Dad used to play Blind Lemon Jefferson on his record player when I was kid. :-)
(...And how if my Dad had a few beers in the evening, sometimes he would lie on the sofa and "join in" with Blind Lemon X_X ).
I can't remember my Dad ever playing much music, let alone anything as 'pure' as BLJ. :-{
There are some similarities between my dad's tastes and mine, hence I have been influenced by certain parts of his collection. Certainly the blues part: BLJ, Lightnin Hopkins, Robert Johnson through to early Fleetwood Mac, Cream, Hendrix and the like.
There's awful stuff in there too mind. He actually owns an LP of Roger Whitaker whistling.
Also, I've just recalled that 10 years ago thieves broke into my Dad's car and nicked everything that they could carry. His brief case, digital camera, CD collection, etc.,... All taken.
A few days later his CD collection was found dumped in a hedge down the road.
Dad took great umbrage at that.

You don't know how much of a kick I get out of someone enjoying this stuff.

The marketing department shouldn't have had those second bottles of wine at lunch.
Probably some good stuff on that tho, I imagine.
Nice. (I do not have a digital copy of that.)

Probably one of the catchiest pop songs ever written
"Not vicious or malicious
Just de-lovely and delicious"

Any half decent friend would return your vinyl copy to you
Dave?
