It worked for John Lydon on "Open Up" and now it's worked for David Byrne on "Lazy" - who do you want to see return to the limelight giving out their art-nonsense on the back of tuff yet trendy beats?

Ogre doing HOUSE music?? you are INSANE man .. that's cEvin's job with Download.

JOHNNY CASH.........eh possibly not.

Considering the Deep Dish Spz remix worked so well, Jason Pierce might not be dreadful. Though lyrically he's not exactly too suited to house so perhaps he might be dreadful.

I reckon some of the great old soul singers might cut it, on the right track - Aretha, James Brown, Al Green, Solomon Burke, Etta James and the like. Tom Waits for sure. Maybe Feargal Sharkey. Jimmy Cliff, Gregory Isaacs, Burning Spear, Joseph Hill. Salif Keita, (Cheb) Khaled. Neil Young, J Mascis. Dolly Parton. Most of all, my number one choice: Little Richard.

― Martin Skidmore, Tuesday, 16 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)
