The Poison Boyfriend is one of my favourite albums of all time, genuinely up there with Leonard Cohen, The Velvet Underground and Nico and Iggy and the Stooges. Three Wars is a brilliant song!
It’s a joy to hear you on the guitar again. Much as I love your electronic stuff (in fact only last week I made myself a two hour playlist called “Elecromomus”, compiling my favourite of your electronic songs) it’s the acoustic guitar based stuff which I first fell in love with way back in the late 80s. Damn it! Now I’ll have to make a playlist called “Acousticmomus” x
So cool to hear you perform your music live in such an intimate setting. Thank you! MC Escher is the first song I ever heard from you. I heard it on the radio well before UA-cam existed. It remains my favorite of yours to this day.
Lovely to hear you revisit your extensive back catalogue on a battered old beauty! You'd make a fabulous busker. I'd definitely throw a few coins in your hat if I saw you outside a tube station! Bring the romance back, Momus!
Such an interesting idea to detune top strings! It gives a decadent atmosphere to the song I didn't know that while listening to "Hotel marquis de Sade" Thanks for this guitar video journey with Momus
Also, this song taught me one of the only things I know about anatomy, so whenever I get a slight pain in my chest my mind immediately goes back to it.
You're one of my personal favourite guitarists, such an interesting history you had with the equipment you used! Echoing another commenter here, The Poison Boyfriend album has some of the most enchanting guitarwork to me :)
It’s such a different arrangement that it’s almost a different song. From sinister ballad to sleazy disco number. A similar thing happened to Righthand Heart, with its funky sample and rap. That whole album is revisionist to the core: most of the songs were written in Leonard Cohen style but ended up sounding like Sylvester, the Pet Shop Boys or Run DMC.

Listened to this in the morning before class, and it was such a wonderful experience. Like momus himself came into my room to play for me
this was delightful and I also enjoyed the giant faces you summoned into the video description by heedlessly speaking their names
It’s amazing getting to hear these classics on your rescue guitar and hear your insights about how they were written. Truly genius.
oh my word.... this is so fabulous....
Love it!!! How about an acoustic tour? Fewer overheads? You could leave the iPod at home.
Also, this song taught me one of the only things I know about anatomy, so whenever I get a slight pain in my chest my mind immediately goes back to it.
So lovely.
Thanks!

i like that guitar and i like the enthusiasm it has given you. go for the gusto!
lovely 🥲
If you wrote a musical, what would it be about?
What's that second song? The strumming was like 11 Executioners, but the lyrics are new to me.
LEGEND!
I've always wanted to know why Ballad of the Barrel Organist got renamed Don't Stop the Night on the album of that name.

That is a ludicrous amount of chords in I Want You….Tbh though the guitar brings out a certain something in your songs/ songwriting
Also, what is the second song, the ladies' man one?
It’s an unrecorded 1987 song called Explicit. The chords were used later for the Milky song Emperor of Oranges.
If there's ever a Momus pub quiz that should be the tie breaker.
@@momasuah yes. Emperor of Oranges is classic. But you need to release that one too
Next time Maoist intellectual please.
