Music and associative vernacular media 1

This is a short video taken by one of the artists involved in the Aftershock Project in Manchester earlier this year. In it, some musicians are composing a song together. A week earlier, most of them had never met. A week later, they had performed that song together on stage in front of a packed [...]

Only Son 1

A film by The Downlow Concept. A worthy winner of the V48Hours film competition.

Munchbreak – Television 0

Friends of ours from round these parts, Munchbreak have a new song that’s sort of a Brummie update of the Disposable Heroes of Hiphorisy’s ‘Television, The Drug of the Nation‘.

My friend Susanne (aka Dutch recording artist Krause) asked her fans to sing along (or rather, tantrum along) to her song ‘I Want A Pony’, video themselves, and upload it to YouTube. She released the official video today, cut together from all of the submissions. She really wants a pony.

Video from last week’s conference in Brussels 2

Don’t worry – my bit’s in English.

Lies like these 2

I thought I’d lay off posting music videos here for a bit, but I thought since I shot this one myself, it was a good idea to put it up. I’m in Manchester at a music industry conference called Un-Convention. It’s one of those events where you know quite a few of the people involved, [...]
