Thou Shalt Always Kill by Dan Le Sac ft Scrooius Pip

Just payed another 79p for an I-tune. Now, to most people, this isn't that big a deal. But to me, having a crappy dial-up connection (and still quite happy with it thanks very much) it involves about 20 minutes of waiting.
Now I-tunes is a great thing, but I still like having the actual cd as well. I know, media anxiety again. I'm slowly weening myself off it and am quite used to just getting a copy of this album or that album, but generally I have pretty much everything I want on cd and let's be honest, if there's a new cd I want I'm going to buy it for £7 or £8 quid from amazon or cd-wow instead of spending £7.99 to buy an inferior quality digital download from I-tunes.

Anyway, tonight's download.....
I'd heard this a couple of times here and there and always strained to catch the artist, but never managed it. Tonight finally I did.
Dan le Sac ft Scroobius Pip and the song is Thou Shalt Always Kill.
There's a bit of me that's thinking it's a bit too novelty, it may be great for the first 200 listens (which, at the current rate, will take me up to sometime on Tuesday) but after that it's really going to grate. But at the moment it is a superb piece of bizarre electro / rap.
