Sorry ... another really busy week this week. Pitching again, y'know? Lots of music-related bits and bobs at the moment, so thought that I would take rare advantage and blog some of the bits and bobs that have been inspiring me in that very field ...
Largely, these are thanks to pitch colleague, Chris Reed, who has been diligently collecting them in expecation that their time will come at some stage ... and lo it has.
First up, the Williams Fairey Brass Band's Acid Brass ...
Then there's this absolutely cracking track. I particularly recommend it from about forty seconds in ... by a group called Frumptarn Guugenband.
The other two chaps who have been really rather blowing me away are these two: Nathan "Flutebox" Lee and Beardyman, both of whom have a totally different and individual take on all things beatbox. Has to be watched to be understood, really ...
Acid Brass is on my favourite albums of all time. It just goes to show how good all that 'guitar-free' music actually is. Rather than the noise rock music fans made it out to be.
