These two pop classics has been turned into a melancholic interpretation by the singer Norman Palm. On his seven-inch, which has been published in a limited edition at Ratio Records in November 07, he revives the gender debate in discourse pop as soft-hits with the help of the drummer from Whitest Boy Alive, Sebastian Maschat, playing the trombone. In addition has the Berlin graphic designer Norman Palm conceived a rotational cover that combines both titles into one graphic. This is only one reason to revive your old turntable. A version of “Boys don’t cry” is also on the 75th Spex CD, just in case no turntable is around. Since Norman Palm can not only sing and play the guitar, but also design and make drawings, are his live shows an audio and visual exception. So there will be a composed series of images for each song projected onto the wall of the Belleville-Store. The sad songs will appear even more sad and the happy ones even happier. The images of the screening are based on a book that Norman Pal has created with his album, which is still in progress. In this book he produced a series of images illustrating what is being sung. With the concert in the Belleville-Store on the 25th of January 2008, Norman Palm will, with his guitar in his hand, give us an acoustic impression of his forthcoming album. :::: www.normanpalm.com
