Mal ,'Out Of Gas'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

The man sounds like a precision timepiece. A drunken, swearing, precision timepiece.
Also, I'm blown away by how small his kit is.

Except for the Double Bass drums. (Which he used to line with tin foil, while other drummers were dampening them with pillows.)

Huh.
May we hear them, please?
I listened to a song by Skrillex.
So...that's dubstep, huh?
I will stick with Prodigy.
I have no idea what "dubstep" is, but I imagine it to be dubiously consenting Lord of the Dance.
ETA: Isn't Skrillex the evil thing in The dark Crystal?
