Antony & The Johnsons tell fans to stop illegal downloads

Antony Hegarty from Antony & the Johnsons has pleaded with fans to stop illegally downloading his music.

The singer was posted his complaint on Just One Star, a fansite dedicated to him.

In a post, the singer wrote: "Now I have one favour to ask you. Please stop recording my concerts and trading them, it makes me feel terrible.

"I feel like the thing I have to offer an audience is the live experience. But for them to record my concerts sort of feel like I am being stolen from. It's kind of like inviting people over for dinner and before they leave they go into your fridge and clear you out, take everything you have, on their way out the door."

The singer went onto the say pirating had affected his progress on his new album, the follow up to 2005's 'I Am A Bird Now'.

"This year I was hoping to develop ideas for the new album and some live concerts, but at this rate I am feeling discouraged because of the bootlegging," he explained. "So do me a favour...be my fan and my friend and don't record my shows."

Hegarty will appear on the new Bjork album 'Volta' which is released on May 7.

has he considered that not everyone has the chance to make it to his concerts and might not be able to afford it?
bootlegs & downloading allow people to share music & can expose people to stuff they would never have heard otherwise.

I hope his fans do stop dowloading, bootlegging, and well, attending his concerts or buying his music at all.

The fresh heartbreak was, in a sense, like being in a foreign country; everything seemed alien, brilliant and glinting. It was as if I’d been flayed, so that even the air hurt. When you’re that unhappy, any glimmer of beauty or consolation feels like running into an old friend abroad, or seeing mountaintops through smog. Maybe we mistakenly think we want “happiness,” which we tend to picture in very vague, soft-focus terms, when what we really crave is the harder-edged intensity of experience.

it's not really antony. it's kind of like inviting people over for dinner and them taking photographs of what was on offer and then showing them to friends if anything.

perhaps if you weren't such a fucking dick and banned smoking in all venues I would give a toss you turd. incidently, you were also one of the worst live preformers I've ever seen.
