Dan Le Sac vs. Scroobious Pip

James G has just sent me this track; beardy mutton-chopped Dan Le Sac and the Scroobious Pip (probably an English student) take apart modern culture in a Gill Scott Heron meets Arthur Hugh Clough kind of way. “Thou shalt not express thy shock that Sharon got off with Brad at the club last night by saying ‘Is it?’” Marvellous. Oh — and while I could have linked to the YouTube Video, or the MySpace page, I thought the embeddable Mog player would make a nice change.

    Will at Lex Records has asked us (very politely) to include a link to their iTunes & Bleep launcher page (which also has the lyrics). Of course we will. But their iTunes link is a bit broken. In the meantime, here’s a working iTunes link for Thou Shalt Always Kill

    It turns out that Scroobius Pip is a beat poet (wearing the hat). Dan Le Sac is the producer (wearing the grips) . Excellent stuff. Everyone loves you.

    This is the biggest entry page to our site by an order of magnitude. More people come in here than our home page.

    This is probably because I spelled “Scroobius Pip” “Scroobious Pip”. Which is, after all, how Edward Lear spelled it.

    Just goes to show (a) how important misspellings are when you plan your search keywords (quick self-congratulatory anecdote: in 1998, I bulk-bought the misspellings of “millennium bug” for Compaq - IBM bought only the correct spellings), and (b) that music is more interesting than interactive marketing. Bah!
