“Who will he bang?” Gritty Street Poetry Reading
This was an off-the-cuff video comment I was suddenly moved to make for Gogen while listening to my iPod on the way to the tube on Friday evening. But then I got drunk and forgot to post it.
Thanks to Gogen for reminding me about this song. Lyrical gold.

More inconsequential nonsense, no ranting or babies today. Just stood on a spot in posh & leafy Chiswick and pretended I was a CCTV camera. Kind of like the way that Coppola used the camera in my favourite movie, The Conversation. But with a phone.
It’s interesting what you notice, if you stop in one place and zoom in and out with your camera or your brain. My phone is helping me to see things in the world around me that I’ve taken for granted and blanked out.
Today has been a day for noticing how much things have changed since I’ve been alive. Not just non-smoking pubs, coffee bars and CCTV – I was flicking through Microserfs and thinking about how futuristic the email and geek lifestyle seemed in 1995, and how real it is now. And then I came downstairs and found this post from Gogen, about his memories of the 1980s. I said everything else I’ve got to say about that in my comment there.

Brook Hinton just left a comment with a link to this post at Disco-nnect – by Abe Linkoln with guest remixers Jimpunk and Subculture.
I love it.
It’s an acoustic improvement on my Anarchy In The UK Vlog Deathmatch video.
Check it out:
“I’m the Dude. So that’s what you call me.”
“…you know, that or, uh, His Dudeness, or uh, Duder, or El Duderino – if you’re not into the whole brevity thing.”
This was the second throw of the night tonight, and the only one I filmed. I thought that trying to roll and shoot at the same time would be sure to fuck it all up to comic effect…

It’s a while since i had a good heretical rant on camera.
RAAAAAAAAAAAA
Since I became a freelance, I’ve spent the whole time feeling I should be working harder, and worrying that I’m not making enough money. Enough already.
Vanity note: My hair’s not greasy, I’d had a shower and it was raining.
Also today (when I was feeling a little calmer) I set up a video comments vlog – see link at top.

Lumiere Rules 2: Amy Zoetrope
Cheating, because the camera’s not fixed – but I can’t fix my phone, so I just held it still.
Lumiere Rules – from Andreas’ blog, Solitude.dk:
- 60 seconds max.
- Fixed camera
- No audio
- No zoom
- No edit
- No effects
They mimic the conditions under which the Lumiere brothers made their movies in the late 1800s.”
