Anthony was supposedly ‘discovered’ playing in the tawdry cabaret bars in New York by Lou Reed, who then used him as backing vocals for track(s) on his ‘Raven’ LP.... some of Anthony’s earlier songs - such as a cover of ‘Mysteries of Love’ from David Lynch’s Twin Peaks, and ‘Divine’ are wonderful songs too.....from an earlier Cd and EP.....
...the best things are often those not too visible in the public eye - until the right time, place, and people emerge for its use…
Thanks

I think I dropped out of keeping up with new artists and music releases sometime about 1997 (and I’ve got the the MusicMobs playlist to prove it), probably the last album I bought was Pulp’s This Is Hardcore. Occasionally, I would (always to my horror and unending regret) inadvertently catch the tail-end of something from Operaćion Triunfo or the latest one-hit wonder and it always seemed meaningless and devoid of should somehow. Maybe I was listening to the wrong thing but if there was any searing political comment or the punk spirit out there I somehow missed it.
