Missive from my son recommending the above. Not immediately obvious what it might be. A boxing match between a couple of guys whose names led them to being bullied at school, thus breeding a high degree of aggression? Turns out to be music, and very weird and wonderful music it is too. Comparisons with the best of Dylan, Eminem and John Cooper Clark spring to mind.
First “Thou shalt always kill”, stacked with useful advice, such as thou shalt not question Stephen Fry.
And then a Letter from God to Man, a slap on the wrist to the human race to an undercurrent of sampled Radiohead.
Some more great tracks to be found on YouTube if you are interested. I was, and an initial foray into YouTube to search for Mr. Dan and Mr. Scroobius ended up being a two hour musical journey through all manner of wonderfulness. The journey ended with Arcade Fire performing Wake Up at last year’s Glastonbury festival. An uncountable number of musicians clearly enjoying making a wonderful noise; and there is a message in there too if you can hear the words. Play it loud and wave your arms; but not if you are in an internet cafe.
