Rodriguez: The Best Thing I've Heard All Year
6:00 AM GMT 05/12/2008
South Africa's proto-rap legend digs everything!
"I know I'm from the old century, but I still like to hear what all the young bloods are listening to today. There's Duffy's Mercy and the new album by David Holmes. I've listened to tracks by the Arctic Monkeys, The Liars and Deerhoof...there's just so much out there! Of course, there's always great sounds from the past like Buffy Sainte-Marie (who I saw play in Detroit earlier this year) and really early Dylan or Jimmy Reed. I still like to listen to Ike Turner's Rocket 88 or anything that features Dennis Coffey. He played lead guitar on my album Cold Fact. Then there's his own classic piece Scorpio. There's also a DJ from Paris called Space Cowboy. He turned my tune Sugar Man into his own song called These Dreams and it really gets people dancing! It's all international now. I hear bhangra tracks from India, fado from Portugal and ballads from Sweden. Sometimes I don't understand the language, but I still like to hear it. It all has musical value to me."
