I dunno, I kinda got a Tom Waits vibe from this dude.

Its a pretty bizarre and interesting interview, I am pretty sure that Oldham is really stoned, and after viewing this new video, I bet its on blue.

You can stream the show at vbs.tv .

That is all.

Post by: John Junk on July 30, 2007, 12:36:44 PM: I couldn't make it through that Soft Focus interview. Too weird for the sake of weird---not to mention creepy! As for that video: Too Extra-Creepy with a dollop of Creepy Cream and smothered in Special Recipe Creepy Sauce. What is that song, a child-molestation ballad? Nice! How many incest songs does this guy have? I bought an album of his ten years ago and there was a song about dorking his sister (see Monster Squad thread...) and I got off the Oldham-album-buying bus right then. Which was an economical move because he's released 5300 records since then.
