David Gray – Instrument of Torture
Posted Fri 4 Jul 2008 1:33PM BST by Mitch Carter in The Guestlist
Middle-of-the-road Mancunian miserablist David Gray has hit out at reports that his music has been used as an instrument of torture by US interrogators. 
The singer-songwriter's hit single Babylon is said to be the preferred choice of the US military in Iraq who play the track incessantly to detainees during interrogation sessions.
"What we're talking about here is people in a darkened room, physically inhibited by handcuffs, bags over their heads and music blaring at them." said the singer taking on Radio Four's World Tonight programme.
Playing loud music repeatedly to detainees is thought to be a standard interrogation technique used by the US military.
However, I could nominate many others as torture - the Birdy Song for a start would have me talking!
He is vastly better than some of the current rubbish which abuses our ears in restaurants, lifts, shops etc.

If people really took the time to listen, i think thay would like it
