My favourite song off The British Public record now has a video crafted thoughtfully by Man From Uranus. This is it.

Great little film from that event at Reworks I played at some rainy day at the end of last year. I still need to do a post about that. I’m in the video doing my old-man-ranting-at-table act, or whatever it is.

I’m becoming a big fan of this guy’s videos. He’s such a dude. If I had a terminal disease I’d go to India for a bit and then ask for 12 hours in a comfy chair round his. Check out his things on free jazz and punk too.

Sealed copy!
No spoilers for scrollers but this particularly hit home cos his female artist find is a flavour in the poor Mouse taste.
Also, I’m all about I got this for nothing and it’s worth a little bit more than something but fuck this guy. There’s more honour in the pointless Smaug-hoarding I’m guilty of than matey’s trembly-handed Tori score. “Not so much in selection, but in what I got.”

In a weird twist my brother has discovered the internet and uploaded some old Antiques Roadshow footage here of me doing Just Like Kurt. Actually I don’t think it’s that old cos I’m guessing it’s me supporting Steve Mason at The Haymakers when he described me as an old man in a pub or something and Simon Baker paid me in Guinness. I wrote about it elsewhere on these pages somewhere…

Couldn’t resist buying a largely unecessary tape deck in Resale the other week, or bragging about it on YouTube:
Subsequently quite shocked to see some pisstake artist has uploaded some sort of parody of my serious hi-fi investigation!

Great interview of the self-styled fretwonk here
A musician after my own heart, albeit a highly-skilled musician who isn’t a non-musician.

I note Our Dave, legalier trading as CHXFX at the moment, has a new album of synth atmosfears to give you the yips.
Only just noticed the description they give of Dave’s swim style in our grotty pond:
“Nochexxx is a crucial player in Cambridge’s incestuous underground scene, where zooted drone mystics (The Doozer) can be found in cahoots with with bedroom techno producers or Dadaist troubadours (Pete Um). “
Ha ha. OK.
In other CHX news, there’s a great interview with the man here.
