Highlights:

Violent Stabbing with a Knife

There are only 7 notes. How do people keep finding ways of writing new music? How many albums have we listened to? 2500? Over 20,000 songs? And yet musicians sue each other if one happens to organize those 7 notes in a pattern that resembles a previous assortment. Crazy.

Here are 9 more pieces of music that remind me of cut rate early Chumbawumba. Why not? This came out of a theater in Bristol. It’s music by collective during the time of strife in England. 

I found it mostly forgettable. But there were 7 notes. All strung together in different ways.
