Music & Me: Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.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.
