trip hop gb pwei grahm english major
Artist picture
English Major is Grahm Eberhardt (of Mayhem Lettuce fame). Electronic indie rock. Pop Will Eat Moldy Peaches.
English Major is a one-man armada of rad. Using cutting edge loop samples, innovative (read: incompetent) guitar work and deadly subterfuge, I craft my songs of sad comedy.

Story behind the song
This song is built around a sample of composer Sir Arthur Sullivan telling Thomas Edison what he thinks of his newest invention - the phonograph. This was recorded on Oct. 5, 1888.
Lyrics
"For myself, I can only say that I am astonished and somewhat terrified at the results of this evening's experiment -- astonished at the wonderful power you have developed, and terrified at the thought that so much hideous and bad music may be put on record forever."
