John Grant and Denis Jones

   For anyone reading this who has read any of my other posts you would be forgiven for believing all I ever do with my life is hate. If you do believe this then yes, I do spend my time hating alot of things but there is also so much I love about the world, music being one of them. I've decided to just take a small amount of your time to enthuse about two musicians that I believe deserve much more recognition.

   Firstly, we have John Grant. John Grant used to be in The Czars (a band you should also look up) before they split in 2004. He's a man who's had a less than perfect life having been both a cocaine addict and an alcoholic due to him being a homosexual in a Christian family. He's an absolutely fantastic musician with an ability to write beautiful songs like "Outer Space", heartbreaking songs such as "It's Easier", hugely witty songs in the form of "Jesus Hates Faggots" and from what I've seen in interviews strikes me as quite a stand up chap as well. Please pick up his solo album and even look up The Czars as well. He's really really great.

   Now, I know very little about Denis Jones' past and if you look for his songs on youtube you'll be hard pressed to find anything worth watching quality wise but if you have Spotify his entire second album is on there. This guy is beyond words live but his albums are also good and are really worth a buy. He loops himself and his guitar while using effects pedals to create not only impressive but also truly beautiful music. Please look him up.

   Both of these musicians deserve your money alot more than plenty of other musicians and deserve to be loved by ALOT of people. As I've said John Grant's solo stuff (and some of The Czars) is on youtube and both John Grant and Denis Jones are on Spotify. For anyone interested in buying their albums you will most likely be able to get all the albums mentioned somewhere on the internet. Please give them a listen. Thanks.
