Derrek Smalls, former bassist player for the band Spinal Tap, just premiered a video for his song MRI. Working with Dweezil Zappa for guitar, the video depicts an MRI screening. The song comes off of Smalls Change (Meditations Upon Ageing) which will be his debut solo album. His words surrounding his upcoming release, “It’s all about learning, innit? And what I learn is that standing back there where the bass player stands, you’re lit, but sort of a medium light. And up at the center mic, where I never was before, it’s a big light. It’s a much brighter light. And you, Toni, know your physics. Light equals heat. So you’re up there, and you’re warmer. One thing that does happen to you when you get older is you get more sensitive to cold. So years ago, I would’ve gone solo just for the warmth.”

The lyrics compliment the video, “They stuff me into the cylindrical can / I feel like a mummy getting a tan / Is it getting louder or just the same? / The tempo’s changing with no drummer to blame.” The video truly illustrates the dreadful experience to the doctor’s office.

The video can be viewed below with Small Change (Meditations Upon Ageing) and all of the songs available for streaming on youtube.
