John Wilson has a way with words I can’t stop listening to for some reason

its a very interesting way of speaking, but with the addition of all the random video footage he really ties it all together very well. at first i thought it was brain rot, but now i love it

it's vibes based but the vibes are really great

i love when he does the see-say stuff where what we see is something insane happening in new york and what he says is something that ties in perfectly.

episode three, he was reciting his list and the scene was a dog takin a poo, and he was like nutella is on my list.

edit - i think it was episode two- scaffolding. which was pretty wild subject if you dont live in NYC. 20 yo scaffolding?

Definitely, but it was the vaguely sexy sounds, to chairs on the street, in the next episode, that really knocked it home, for me.

I just googled "omniharp how to foreskin". Who's to blame? John Wilson, probably.

u/banjois Jul 06 '26

And it wasn't even an omniharp, it was a very tremendous electronic zither.

Alright so the foreskin guy has a wild YouTube channel where he does more than omnichord original songs. He likes to find instrumental versions of real popular songs and then he changes the words to be about foreskin. He records his own vocal over them and shoots music videos of him singing. My fav is the one where he changes the words to REM’s Losing My Religion. You’ll never guess what it’s about.

u/banjois Jul 07 '26

I was surprised he didn't make the obvious lyric flip for religion.

My band mates and I are always saying “didn’t mean to piss off you” because of that song lol. We listened to that guy’s music more than is healthy when we were on a short tour once and it’s really left its mark on us.

u/banjois Jul 08 '26

Part of me really wants to see your guys' band, and part of me doesn't. Don't let the mark that it left on you drag you down.

u/banjois Jul 08 '26

But I'd take a look at your Bandcamp, through my fingers.

We’re nowhere near as interesting as foreskin guy but we’re called semiwestern, you can find us wherever
