Never heard of him -- and by all outward signifiers, I should absolutely hate this. But I quite enjoyed it, mostly the arrangement and the loose sound of the bass and strings.
We're on the wrong side of the pond to have heard of him, given his genre, but he's one of the people that popped up on Pandora one day and who I looked into.

Living in poor old Scotland means I'm not allowed to watch the last video posted by Crimen y Castigo. What kind of discrimination is this!?
Gimme your cell number and I'll sing it for you. I'm a brilliant vocalist with the range of Henry Kissinger and the stage presence of Tommy Smyth.
Up here in the Scotland of North America we aren't allowed to watch either. BTW I thought this was a YouTube thread
How about you sing it. Record it. Load it onto Youtube. And then everyone will get to peruse your talents.
Okay, so I am big fan of The Cult. Ian Astbury is a cvnt nowadays but there was a time when he was big, even if he was totally ********ed up (as in this video) and doing a lame Jim Morrison impersonation. The Cult gave us some great anthems. This is one of them, Sun King by The Cult. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xORUCLvvjzQ&feature=related"]YouTube - The Cult - Sun King[/ame]
