After a brief and enjoyable hiatus I spent showing friends from France and Greece round Berlin, I've got back to work on 'The 2005 Album From Momus' (provisionally entitled 'The Artist Overwhelmed By The Grandeur Of Ancient Ruins'). This is something of a trifle, but I think you can hear that I'm happy to get back to my studio. The music gives pride of place in the Momus Geo-Musical Museum to a fossil of Schubert, around which dance Indian singers and 1980s 'Classicism-and-Atrocity' synths. The theme comes partly from a piece in Vice magazine entitled 'Ode To The Fat Friend', and partly from the 'Fat Lady' song in the Berlin musical Cabaret. If you download, like and keep the mp3, suggested donation is a dollar or so by Paypal. The song may appear in the same or a different form on the next Momus album. And by the way, thanks so much to everyone who's contributed so far!

Your Fat Friend
She's so fabulous
She's so ludicrous
She's so dangerous
Your fat friend
She's intelligent
An experiment
She's an elephant
Your fat friend
Will you run away with me?
Let's go walking on the sea
Just Jesus Christ and you and me and
Your fat friend
See her fumble, see her flirt
In her massive mini-skirt
She is quite the extravert
Here comes your fat girlfriend
She's so fabulous
She's so ludicrous
She's so dangerous
Your fat friend
I love Coco, you love Jim
Your fat friend she loves him
But he can't love her, he's too thin
For your fat friend
One and one makes three not two
She will stick to you like glue
Don't fuck around with you-know-who
Here comes your fat girlfriend
She's intelligent
An experiment
She's an elephant
Your fat friend

però... però penso che tu oggi non riesca a tradurre tutto questo in risultati all'altezza di quanto promesso. spesso risulti tentare vette che purtroppo troppo spesso non raggiungi. nè liricamente né musicalmente.
brel è riuscito ad essere sempre diverso rimanendo sempre uguale, gainsbourg è riuscito ad essere sempre uguale rimanendo sempre diverso.
a me sembra che momus si sia un po' perso.
l'anima delle tue canzoni più belle, sempre presente nei tuoi lavori, mi sembra che ora non trovi spazio.
ma forse sbaglio: forse è proprio ora che momus ha preso il sopravvento su nick.
