Badly Drawn Boy // The Hour of Bewilderbeast
I have to admit I was drawn to this musician’s moniker. It’s wry and funny and fresh. I also like the faux-Bergmann (ref to Hour of the Wolf?) title. But the best thing about this album is the first song, Shining. It’s amazing, though it makes the rest of the album a bit paler by comparison.

He seems to know a lot about contemporary men, and don’t despair, there’s a tiny slice of hope somewhere in there. And he seems to believe men can change, get better, and despite the urban myth that this is a marketing ploy to get women to read his books, so what? Be brave, read them anyway.
