Sex,
lies and WINTERFOOD
Now for
some fascinating facts, or, rather, ‘fact’: did you know Andrew Eldritch’s real name is Andrew
Taylor? Well, bugger me.
‘First
And Last And Always’ – The Sisters Of Mercy
As for me
and the Berwin Christmas LP, well it
started off as a bit of an accident and developed into ‘something to do’. I wasn’t too serious about it and I could
easily have done better versions of some of the ‘crapper’ songs, but I just
didn’t want to. I liked the spontaneity
of it: write it, record it, bam-bam.
Some songs seemed rough, others seemed more polished. It’s a nice mix, I feel. And if anyone’s wondering why Johnny’s laughing at the beginning of ‘O COME ALL YE FAITHFUL’, it’s because
I got my cock out. I think, though,
rather than trying to ‘be funny’ and ‘write funny songs’, I just wanted to use
it as a means of developing Berwin’s (Xmas) character. It was a character piece, and if there’s also
any decent comedy in there, well that’s a bonus. But I hope it’s made Berwin more accessible
to other people that might hear it.
