hmm I could go on. Just go on youtube, search Devendra Banhart, and watch every video on there.

Time after time I've tried to describe to people how divine this man is. Even got out a thesaurus at one point (and that's very unlike me). And then, after fits of depression and joy cramps, I came to realise that however overused this phrase is, there really are no words to describe him; he just is.

Is this a free for all? Has anybody checked out Tim Buckley on youtube? On 'Hello and Goodbye' someone commented that they'd like to hear some current performers do a version of that. Any ideas? Bellowhead maybe???

ooh this is free for all yes ,i like tim buckley but jeff buckley is better i dont really like tims voice

ooh this is free for all yes ,i like tim buckley but jeff buckley is better i dont really like tims voice

This aint free for all. Sorry Helga mate, but I think it's time you shoo away. Off you pop! Bye.

I like Jeff Buckley better too. Come on Helga! Get your groove right. What you doing coming on here with your opinion?

So, no one's going to love Devendra with me then?

Okay, so you've got the links and the soulful paragraph, you need more reasons don't you?

1. He has a BEARD! Yes, everyone loves a fuzzily faced creature, but this one is massive. It's an actual Charles Manson-esque tumbleweed of facial fluff. It almost has it's own character.

2. He has EYES! Yes, deep, powerful, seen-too-much eyes and pupils that look into the inner depths of black hole land. Pretty darn cool if you ask me.

3. He wears clothes! Now, I know what you're thinking-everyone wears clothes, right? But Devendra's not just your average jumper wearer. Oh no, he got a whole selection of kangaroo costumes, potato peelings and even the odd dress laying about his possession. His website even has the lovely facility of the Devendra fan being able to help dress him up! Yup, check this out...

http://www.devendrabanhart.com/clothes.html

How wild is that?

4. He's got a nice face. Under that furry exterior is the face of an extremely handsome young man with the cheek bone chiselling’s of a fine woodworker.

5. He sure can dance! And his friends can too.

This link will lead you to the music video of "I feel just like a child" in which he prances about like a mystical earth child...

While this one... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBil4BdO3Gs depicts the Devendra friend wiggling about the place like a stoned ballerina in silver pants.

6. He is funny.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_QAPjtO2cA&feature=related

ahahahhahahahahaha (read the subtitles)

And this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BETFZMXYpIk&feature=related  ahahahahahaha (listen to the lyrics)

7. He speaks... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOzIq2D5mZk

8. He describes things well... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCPMufI9zUw&feature=related 

9. He can draw. Lots of people can draw, but really, Devendra is the one true, the complete, the incomplete, the ultimate, the answer to all, the magic painter with the magic paintbrush artist. And Smokey is a nice name.

10. He likes his languages... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmJqGLhZ9gQ

11. He plays a mean cover... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fer_vdrd2L4&feature=related

12. He's scary... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cig2Ep-4udg&feature=related

13. He sings about UFOs with French sounds and a gentleman's top hat... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65N_1eSkKWg&feature=related

I had you by the beard right?

P.S: I love Helga

awesome. tim buckley was an idiot to poor jeff tho but tims music is ok but in my opinion jeffs is more awesome.

Ok, Tim was not a good Dad, unfortunately that sometimes goes with youth and drugs. Tim was not the only idiot...

yeah ohh well. lol. the world is full of idiots.its all fun and games

I am an idiot.

lock me up or I'll swallow your fingers whole.

They look so much like pineapples.

Maybe you should stop with the gnawing. It's starting to to appear very hamsterish.

And we all know what that means.

Iglepoopplegobflobgerishgoopkipoughkeepsiereadserftikuyt.

yes.

Now the only one who can save you from this terrible fate is Devendra.

So whatcha think?

Worth taking a peek?

This is your life we're talking about.

All that fun and games.

Green giants

hahaha

what freaks

I hope one day to become as wize and emerald as them.

The world is full of idiots.

And finger swallowers are just the begining.

curgh curgh (that's a cough by the way) DEVENDRA BANHART! curgh curch (that last one was a choke. Or maybe the sound of your death)

we shall maybe know.

never!

P.S. The sweetcorn does not work!

I do want Helga to reply.

I also want Naddy to listen to Devendra.

And anyone else who reads of him.

I want to be a giant.

And I'd like to eat Henri for tea tonight. The little boy on the beach with the kite. I want to be like Henri. Like Henri but bigger. Henri Kite Height. That's what they'll call me.

I even want to close the lid.

And to go to sleep.

Or be underlined inconspicuously.

 If only.

Why do you want me to reply? I'd much rather go to Chris's gigs, if only it wasn't so far. When Bryony asked my Brother (Henri) for a Devendra CD for Christmas he thought he was a she. (Devendra I mean, not my brother, and he hasn't sent the CD yet, he ended up in hospital when he fell over after some alcoholic event)

hhahaaaaaaaa

Reasons for wanting Helga to reply:

1. Helga is funny.

2. Helga is interesting.

3. Helga is cool.

4. Helga is nice.

5. Helga responds to my comments about Devendra.

6. Helga has a brother called Henri.

7. Helga's daughter is Bryony.

8. Helga's lover is Baz.

9. Helga likes Ray LaMontagne.

10. A Helga is a Helga is a Helga.

You know what we should do? Get a hot air balloon and fly our way over there and then tie Chris to it and let him dangle off it (haha how funny would that be?) and then bring him back to Nottinoos and tie him in the cellar of Ye Olde Trip with all the ghosts until he promises to stay here forever and play to us every night. I think that's highly probable.

Ah, I have many a story to tell about the gender confusion of Devendra Banana heart.

But I'll let Devendra tell you...

' "I played a show in Akron, Ohio -- this was the most extreme example, but it happened maybe eight times on the tour. This was the extreme version, but it did happen many times. A woman would come up to me and say, "Where's Devendra?" And someone would be like, "He's over there." I'd be waiting somewhere to play. And she'd be like, "No, no, no, where's Devendra?" And he'd say, "He's right there." And she'd say again, "Where's Devendra?" And I'd jump up and say "Hi, I'm Devendra." And she'd say, "No, no, where's Devendra? Where is she?" " '

hahooooooo! great isn't it.

and then this...

' "I remember the first day of school when I moved to America, there would be roll call and they'd say "Devendra" and I'd be about to say hello and introduce myself and then somebody would say, "Yeah, me and her go way back." And then everything would get quiet and I would have to explain that it was actually me. " '

ahhhhhh yeah.

and this is a funny picture...

 haha it's Devendra!

wow he's so cool! He's almost cooler than Helga.

ahhh Zoe, it would indeed be cool to get Chris over here in a hot air ballon, but not tied up, he might come willingly for you! Does the Trip do gigs? There's certainly lots of room, and cavey, echoy, vow

I don't get this site, why is my reply up there?And why did some of me go anonymous just cos I changed my e mail address?

ask hewbert?

THE CURE- DOING THE UNSTUCK

its a perfect day for letting go, setting fire to bridges, boats and other dreary worlds you know, lets get happy.

what a wonderful song

and another song by the cure that i have been listening to a lot

is from the edge of the deep green sea. i love the lyrics especilly this part:

how much more can we use it up?

drink it dry?

take this drug?

looking for something forever gone

but something

we will always want?

why why why are you letting me go? she says

i feel you pulling back

i feel you changing shape...

and just as i'm breaking free

she hangs herself in front of me

slips her dress like a flag to the floor

and hands in the sky

surrenders it all...

anyone heard of heather nova?,shes got a few really really amazing songs in my opinion. I really love her songs: sugar, shaking the doll, mothertongue, my fidelity, island, blood of me, i'm alive, gloomy sunday, just been born, out in new mexico, follow me in grace.

Most of the songs i really like are off her older albums. But 2 of them are of her newest one, but not so keen on the new stuff.

ooh if anyone has spotify you can listen to her, check out some tracks i reccomended haha : http://open.spotify.com/artist/76oeXwztPqAxVg9oqozK3z
