Music & Me: Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs
Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs – or TEED to those in the know – is the brainchild of one Orlando Higginbottom, the on-the-button producer of the moment who serves up a veritable smorgasbord of cutting-edge bleeps and beats.
The first record I bought was...
The Jungle Book Groove on cassette, aged about five, I think. Side B had all the Jungle Book songs megamixed over a house beat.
The first gig I went to was...
Radiohead's homecoming show in South Park, Oxford, when I was 15.
My favourite album is...
It's a battle between Reprazent’s "New Forms", Talking Heads’ "Stop Making Sense (live)" and Unkle’s "Psyence Fiction".
But my parents always liked...
Bach. There was no but.
I couldn’t marry someone who liked...
X Factor.
In the studio I like to wear...
As many clothes as possible at the moment; it takes a long time to warm up.
I’d love to have on my radio show...
Earth, Wind & Fire.
One thing that must change in the music industry is...
X Factor.
A great album cover is...
Talking Heads' "Speaking In Tongues".
On my iPod I listen most to...
I don’t have an iPod. I probably listen to the radio most.
If I could have written any piece of music it would have been...
Holst’s "Planet Suite", or Smokey Robinson’s “Tracks of My Tears”.
The worst song I’ve heard is...
A dubstep remix of Beethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata” on YouTube.
The "Household Goods" EP, which also features “Waulking Song” and “How Far”, is out now on Greco-Roman Records.
