I am a Darkstar
I don't really go for looks much, there are loads of absolutely stunning musicians I don't care much about. I go for talent. Nick Cave is my absolute God, not because of his smashing looks, I think we can all agree he's not quite pinup material...but the man is so stuffed full of talent he doesn't know what to do with himself. A man who can create something magnificent will always have my attention.
Same with Mr Horn and Mr Veljanov, it's not as much about the looks (though Alexander is goshdarnit pretty) but the things these two can create, and the sheer level of their creativity. I've yet to find one band with so much diversity, and while some of what they put out is just straight odd, it's still well made, deep down there. I've tried, in vain, to think of just one song that is typical of their style, and haven't found any. That's a sign of quality to me.
And the mystery surrounding them just adds up to this. It makes them just a little more magical.
