I did a correct cackle when he began taunting the fishermen along with his iPhone. And on the half the place he dances on a moonlit roof, then burns the home down and struts off into the night time. He’s superb at immortalising the wild abandon of an RPG participant in music.
I primarily know Blindboy for his podcast, so it’s neat to now admire him musically for one thing aside from the horse song. He’s a really smart, very eccentric man who has many beneficial issues to say about psychological well being, and plenty of attention-grabbing issues to say about artwork, music and psychology. He has nice visitors on typically, too. Just a few weeks again he had Brenda and John Romero! Other highlights embody his chat with an Irish folklorist, or when he mentioned the deserves of utilizing psychedelic medicine as psychological well being remedy with a neurosicentist.
