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....
