Ok, first note, the headline's not entirely true,  true. Rosie doesn't wear headphones during our long car drives together to remote gigs, he's way too polite.

Ok, he doesn't wear headphones all the time.

And why would he wear headphones? As you, Dear Reader, may have gathered from his blog here, Rosie found my random taste in music somewhat challenging. he said of Skrillex:  'if you liked the sound that your old 56k modem used to make, then this guy is making your kind of music.'

That might be true. I never thought I'd be a Skrillex fan but I came across a song they did with Damian Marley whilst I was burning a pirates hemp crop with a WW2 Flammenwarfer (ok, so I was playing Far Cry 3)  - and that's another fascinating insight into how we come across music these days. I have head some Skrillex songs on late night video shows and thought 'mneh' but when I heard it inside my favourite current First Person Shooter I was into it. Here it is:

Now I know this is VERY different to the kind of music we write and play, don't sweat it, it's not our NEW direction, but I have to confess that I am a complete genre traitor and will listen to almost anything if there's something that piques my interest and I dig this song.

Regular readers would have previously seen my blogs on Tuvan Throat Singing and other random interests. So anyway, if you happen to find yourself travelling to Tamworth in the car with me, and I am driving and therefore have Drivers Music Right, you may very well be subjected to some strange musical choices.

Anyway, today I spotted this video on FB, courtesy of Adam Spong, that I thought neatly summed up Rosie's position on Skrillex and the dubstep genre.

WARNING - This video is Hilarious (IMHO) but the cartoon character swears a lot so its NOT SUITABLE FOR WORK unless you wear headphones.
