What Are You Listening To - The Reckoning

[Wiltshire Rhino]

I am currently listening to my son, upstairs in his bedroom, singing...  

.. for his Drama School auditions. I'm pleasantly surprised how good he sounds. ? 

 

A good warm-up before watching the Challenge Cup.

Lousy video quality but the sound's good enough to convey the magnificence of The Cramps.

I think it's an album but I can't remember what it's called.

I just took someone to the airport in the pool car and it had Human by Rag n Bone Man in the CD player.

I really liked it.

This is the first I've heard of his more laid-back side. I've only heard him previously in his recordings with Bootsy Collins (Praxis and Zillatron), neither of which are an easy listen.

That album - Population Override - is mostly like Too Many Humans. So is his most "famous" track Padmasana which always ends up on the 100 Greatest Guitar Solos lists, for some reason. (I usually like my songs to have more than 2 chords)

Keeping things guitar hero-based...

The song's been a bit over-exposed since release, but it is still good. He seems like he's got a style that is all his own, and once the hype dies down, he'll have time to develop his own musical style further. Also, I've seen him in a couple of interviews and he comes across as a likeable bloke with a good sense of humour.

Also, he's bloody gigantic, so being nice about him is probably good policy.

Currently on my third G&T, and grooving to the extremely disturbing but fun Zillatron: Lord of the Harvest. Here's one of the more normal tracks. Normal in relative terms, of course.

The new Toto cd "40 trips around the sun" has some good new songs and older hits.
