Video: James Blake - The Wilhelm Scream

You may have heard it, you may have not.  The Wilhelm scream is that inhuman wail that you hear time again in movies and advertisements.  No-one can remember who first screamed it, but it's like a running joke that no-one gets.

James Blake is no joke, and yet like the Wilhelm Scream, nobody gets him.  Not yet anyway.  He's the dubstep (or whatever the latest name for hybrids of said genre are) heir, and has a new album out this week.

He is haunting, uber-talented to the point of being eerie and has a full head of hair that almost cascade over his anorak.  Could he be the next Lady Gaga?  I think not, but technically I would not put it past him.  He seems to take on any genre and fashion it into his own musical sword, slicing his way through... heck I don't even know how to classify his Feist cover 'Limit to your love'.  Anyhoo, enjoy the Wilhelm Scream and try to describe him for yourself.  Golden Gaytime for the best answer.
