Amen to that. A special freak he is too. His live show is pretty special
too. He uses a DJ, a guitarist, and Martine Topley Bird doing backup 
vocals.
He also usually performs behind a mic (duh) but also has a lightbulb on a
stand in front of him. It's a nice touch/effect and adds an element of
intimacy to his music. I can still remember hearing "She Makes Me Wanna 
Die"
for the first time - virtually dropped everything and almost fainted. Wish
that happened more often - well, not the fainting part....

Cheers,

Simon
