A long interview with Adam Ant in today's Guardian. Apparently, Adam gets annoyed when anyone muddles him up with the early 80s new romantic scene. "Cos new romantic was nothing to do with Adam and the Ants. The Ants was a punk band, or a post-punk band if anything, and so historically it's inaccurate. New romantic was basically, in my mind, clubbers with too much makeup on with stupid clothes. I never set foot in any of their clubs, so I find it quite distressing to be nobbled into new romantic, cos it was just a load of guys who looked like they'd had a row with their girlfriends' makeup. There was nothing tough about it, nothing dangerous about it, it was soft electro stuff and it just looked a bit wet. And I didn't like being associated with it." The fact of the matter is that nobody at the time identified themselves as 'New Romantics'. I remember interviewing Duran Duran once and they got quite tetchy when I suggested they might be New Romantics.

The same with Spandau Ballet. Which begs the question - if Adam, Spandau and Duran weren't New Romantics, who was...? Anyway, you can read The Guardian interview here: http://www.guardian.co.uk/…/feb/19/adam-ant-sex-style-humour and they also have this new video of Adam performing Stand And Deliver.

Cool Zombie is the best song from his new album 'Adam Ant is the blue black Hussar in Marrying the Gunners Daughter' in my opinion. Its catchy and better than a lot of the latest music in todays pop culture. Adam Ant is my idol I'm going to see him in March with my friend who thinks his music is new, exiting and tasteful especially Stand and Deliver as it is so different to the music she is used to. - Adamantn01fan xxx

I will admit that at first I was a little taken aback because it was nothing like I would have expected. What I expected was the same sound as years gone by. What I got was an artist that was edgier, more raw, darker and yes fresh.... I know for many that is a tough pill to swallow but as ab artist I feel he has grown in so many wats and has that fuck off if you don't like it attitude. How can it be autobiographical and not? Highlights for me no doubt would if Bullshit. Here comes the BBH ... The Garden song-sorry for title not being accurate? As well as shrink. Would have liked a few more drum driven up tempo but I have a feeling this is only the beginning of something genius ! Vive Le Rock and God Bless you Adam! Caught his show in Nashville this past August. Nothing short of perfection for this fan as well as my guests who weren't even born when Adam was at his peak.... and the had a memory of a lifetime I assure all!
