The state of the nation is overwhelming. I need to turn on some music and tune some of this shit out.
I saw this artist at the Vancouver Folk Festival a couple of weekends ago.
Introducing: Marlon Williams. A native of Christchurch, New Zealand. I call him the Kiwi Roy Orbison. Enjoy

Beautiful version and yes…seems to be channeling Roy.
I started to respond to your post with a comment associated with your opening line. Deleted it after I pushed play. Music soothes the savage…
@spitfire3dc Aaaah, good. My post worked. :) I am glad you liked it, and it let you let go of some your savageness.
I give you Oozing Wound’s take on Blink-182’s “Damnit”:
.
Watching a thrash band turn a snotty, angst-riddled, pop-punk track that’s been around since probably forever into, well, this is something to behold. I don’t even know if it’s really that good. It’s just so weird and kinda funny. I don’t even like “Damnit”.
Actually, nah. This is awesome.
@GothUnkle That was awesome!!! I didn’t know the original song, so it was fun to hear them back to back. But, I think Blink 182 without Travis Barker isn’t the same. Barker is a kick ass drummer.
@Gina IS he not their drummer any more? i know Matt Skiba from Alakline trio stepped in and took over for Tom but i had no idea travis wasn’t there any more. that’s just… wrong.
Very cool cover by the way. thanks for sharing.
@ArturoMcAwesome I don’t know who their current drummer is, I think it is Barker. I looked it up and Barker wasn’t the original drummer and the video for Damnit was really old. It must be the original drummer in the vid.
You are welcome. I am glad you enjoyed the song. Check out more of his stuff. This kid rocks!

@immortal_pirate That is a beautiful song. Another one where I didn’t know the original. It’s super fun to learn new songs isn’t it? Thank you.
