I've been meaning to share this video performance from Antony and the Johnsons for a couple days now but for one reason or another I'm just now getting around to doing so. While I haven't heard The Crying Light ( Secretly Canadian ), the latest full-length from Antony and the Johnsons, I have now seen two late night performances of songs from the album in the last couple months, starting with their Late Night with David Letterman appearance [...]
