Here’s something for free and we all like things that are free. Reggie Watts the free-wheeling, free associating, whirlwind of beat boxing talent with a magnificent ‘fro is back with a Daytrotter session. True to form, none of these songs existed before he walked into their studio. As a sample, here is a song from his last album, “Why Shit So Crazy?”, by the name of “”Fuck Shit Stack.
He was Conan O’Brien’s opening act on the “Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on Television Tour” and recently took part in LCD Soundsystem’s Final Shows at Madison Square Garden. His shows are usually him and a sequencer and/or and electric keyboard from which he creates whole songs that are improvised. That shit is not as easy as you might think.
I could upload it here, but since Travis turned me on to Daytrotter, I think it’s worth your time to click and download it from their website. Daytrotter also did a recent session with Buddyhead fave Dax Riggs. Maybe, on a day where I don’t feel like repeatedly stabbing myself in the ear canal with an icepick, I’ll write up a more detailed article on the man, but this is brand new and shiny.
