Hung out with Phil at the Moonbase last night and he YouTube jockeyed the night away. First person I ever saw do that was Ariel Pink at the Bad Timing house in about 2005 I guess. Hip!

Some people assert that the Man From Uranus ouevre, being at least in part reliant on the artistic fiction of a cosmological backdrop, lacks some sort of philosophical weight. Personally I think this view is, quite frankly, spacist.

The other day MFU told me he had a cool gig in cold Oslo and I said “Wow, give them my email address. ” and he said “No I fucking won’t” and we laughed kind of semi-humourously.
And now I’ve just seen this.
That is his greatest video though, and made in difficult times on earth.
3 cool things.

First off, the marvellous Russell Taysom has made good on a promise and done one of his joyously dark illustrations of me, here seen feasting on the head of Man From Uranus. To me he’s captured Phil rather better than he has me but then it’s hard to judge a likeness of oneself (perhaps indicative of the distance between subjective and objective realities with regards to ourselves) and as I can’t deny the formless hair and the lines around the eyes and as Syd seemed to think it was pretty obviously me I am overall very chuffed to be the latest to be granted this honour. Besides, as Russell pointed out, Phil is instantly recognizable by his blue skin.
The next cool thing is that I received a copy of the latest album by the Flower-Corsano Duo, which has a nice big Pete Um credit on the back simply because I was pointing my camera towards the stage at The Portland one night. In fact The Doozer did as much as me with helping out with that one. Anyway, big fan of all things Corsano so it feels like a really cool thing to me.
And talking of fandom, it seems my online big-up of unique hip-hop legend Sensational, you know, this one:
might find its way in part into a documentary about the man. I am fucking chuffed about this, no two ways about it.

OK, just spent a very long time uploading stills in this very clunky process only for them to disappear so I will do this in bits to minimise the kind of rage that I am experiencing right fucking now.

Been capturing, rendering and uploading like some kind of unemployed motherfucker over the past few days, so I thought I would draw attention to some of the slightly over-ripe fruits of my dubious labours. To wit, as above, the gig Phil and I played with Brain Of Morbius in Bern in September of 2003. I wrote about the short trip at length here. Make sure you read the three posts after that one too. Well, you don’t have to, but you know what I mean.
I’ll post some video stills next but Firefox is giving me voodoo so I can’t do it on this post.
