The Middle Eight

I grew up to the beat of electronic drums


Tonight it's Maxwell. Now starts the craft.

Tonight I am stuck on this:

Maxwell's PERFECT performance of This Woman's Work last fall. Survive the horrific audience singing from 1:20 -1:49 because the payoff is at 1:50ish, when it really takes off with some major stage drama (pause in song, silhouette, down on knees) and then the unbelievable middle eight, where he fucks the falsetto (3:00) and goes for it.




Had I been there, I would have cried like a baby.

He's back Tuesday with a press conference. I expect this album, Black, to be huge.
I hope it will push him into the pantheon of, you know, greatness. The new single, Pretty Wings, is fucking opulent.

    Was he in one of the American Pie movies? I really think the magnificent use of the fisheye lens in the third one went vastly underrated.
