Bob Lind's Message Board

Oh, wow. Momus.

The original is by Momus, who are (is?) a little hard to explain. I only have a song or two by him on mix tapes, but the name pops up a lot. As a musician, he's sort of a bridge between pomo conceptual art and dance pop. Like if the Pet Shop Boys were suddenly possessed by members of Television, Leonard Cohen and Steve Reich. He also does a fair amount of writing and lecturing.

You can read more about him here, but in all the words it's easy to lose sight of the fact that a good deal of his music could be played in a Barcelona dance club without anyone thinking it was out of place - unless they caught the lyrics. He's got a cool site over here and you can hear a couple songs here and here.

Anyway, that's a great cover.

Was this addressed to me, or to Mr Lind? Please clarify!

If it was to me, I liked the song AND the performance, but I have no idea what you are referring to in wishing me "good luck for tonight".

Just read that Wikipedia article. What a strange person! Sounds fascinating though.

I like a lot of musical styles but my favourites are the folk-rock style of the late 60's and the melodic progressive rock of the late 60s/early 70s typified by Genesis, Pink Floyd, Moody Blues etc. You certainly don't hear any of that sort of music at the clubs. [/quote]


I just read this. I have not Idea why??? But I am Roy?quote="bob_32_116"]
Yes, I think I knew that. Didn't he "come out" at about the same time as Elton John did??
Did you like Genesis with Peter?
I sort of did not after him for many years. Floyd is awesome "Wish You Were Here" is in my top 20 of all time. I saw the Moody Blues many times adn the best was in Ft. Worth great building for sound and the stage revolved round and round.

OK I saw "bob" and thought it was Lind. You need to change your sign on name as I must really be stupid!!! LOL.

I meant good luck about New Your.
Roy

Uh uh. No way. My true name is Bob, and I am more than happy to share that name with the great Mr Lind, so my username stays.

I really think you took my post wrong.
Look at the "LOL".
I just need to learn which Bob.
Sorry

Now, kids - everyone knows there's only [url=http://www.subgenius.com/]ONE TRUE "BOB".

I didn't take your post wrong, I know it was lighthearted and that's how I took it.

Grant, that photo will give me nightmares!

...looks more like "Bing", than "Bob"...

Royb404 - you really said it !

Bob is the only person that can take a canves and weave a vision that you not only hear but think about for decades. But most of all carry in your soul..

I agree, Maddo...I find that a Lind song will suddenly pop-up on my cd random mode - and I'll hear a NEW line, or take a new meaning from it...

I don't know if this is a straight-up recommendation or not, but there's a band called The Butterflies of Love that aren't half bad.
