So I like to think that I'm the hip 'n happenin' face of Wibblethorpe. Which is a bit sad really cos it causes me to do things like look at the human beat box site.
It's quite a good laugh, however. I particularly recommend this for students in the library or those with desk jobs. Let me know how you get on...
Then there's the Don of Beatboxers. Yes, it's Killa Kela. This feller is off the hook...take a look at his site. This stuff is for real- in all honesty. Those beats? That tune? It's all him. I saw the guy live at Brixton Academy and it's amazing.
Or for something slightly more lyrical: how's this for gorgeous poetry?
You may have heard of Damien Rice. If not I highly recommend you aquaint yourself with his work. It's not unlike the stuff Aqualung and the like do. The album is full of lyrically scintillating songs with soaring vocals, to-die-for artistry on instrumentals and brilliant production (not to mention the extremely cool cover if that sort of thing does it for you). My personal favourite (mainly because Boyf put this on a mix CD for me just before we started going out) is
Cannonball.
Still a little bit of your taste in my mouth
Still a little bit of you laced with my doubt
Still a little hard to say what's going on
Still a little bit of your ghost your witness
Still a little piece of your face I haven't kissed
You step a little closer to me
Still I can't see what's going on
Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to lie
Life taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannonball
Still a little bit of your song in my ear
Still a little bit of your words I long to hear
You step a little closer each day
So close that I can't see what's going on
Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to lie
Life taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannon
Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to cry
So come on courage!
Teach me to be shy
'Cause it's not hard to fall
And I don't want to scare her
It's not hard to fall
And I don't wanna lose
It's not hard to grow
When you know that you just don't know
By the way- the album is titled "O".
