one of my favourite videos is up. The Physics have put the video up on their websites. these boys are wonderful, amazing boys. and by watching the video you shall see the silly side of them...now, there were moments where they were very serious...discussing physics and art and other stuff...but it doesn't really make a good video. so i made them silly.
but i have a feeling, when i get the time, i will show everyone that side of them...
who knows.
i like it, they like it. everyone is happy.
enjoy!

a break
a
[sort of]
break from the musical world.
and by that i mean i am sitting here listening to the new Raconteurs album. which is pretty rockin' by the way. sorta epic southern rock. like the white stripes but more massive, like sitting on the porch, drinking hard sweet-tea while a major concert goes on on the front lawn.
im a fan.
anyway, the reason im writing is not to talk about music.
[though i am particularly proud of a new Physics behind the scenes video im working on]
im reading this article on the huffington post. its about Hilary Clinton and how she is just whingeing on and its just starting to look bad. it made me very upset because even though i dont agree with her, or want her to be the nominee, i do want to continue to respect her. and this is getting harder and harder. she is playing a political game that Obama just is not. and its continually making her look bad, i fear she will turn into a joke and how much would that suck for the first
[i might be wrong on that]
female presidental candidate to turn into a punch line. now, im not going to say she should drop out of the race for the good of the sex or whatever, im just saying she should, really, be a better candidate.
in honesty, its pretty cool. at least in the democractic side, the populous is choosing the better candidate, Obama is doing the thing that politicians
[at least i hope]
want to do, they talk about it all the time at least. they want to create a new politics. he has and we are responding.
i just wanted to say, from across the pond, go us!
ps- mom, when im home, remind me to play this for you, its the next generation of the stuff you keep trying to get us to listen to, which, though we moan, we actually like...

I'm back!
the blog was labelled as a spam blog and deleted! i have no idea why i was listed as a spam blog...stupid electronic people who check these things! its only further proof that no matter how good artificial intelligence gets, we are still decades, eons even away from any sort of A.I. world.
[but hopefully when we get there, it will be more a stanley kubric type vision than a sentimental soppy speilberg vision...do i actually mean that? im just not sure....i know i dont like speilberg...but kubric, his mind was quite scary...]
So...its been a while, i have been up to Scotland and back since we last spoke, working very hard and getting ill and in dire need of some rest...cue easter and the four day weekend that comes along with it...YAY.
Scotland was awesome, way fun. We Are The Physics are possibly my favourite band right now as they are amazing, well, up there with Islands who are also amazing. The Physics were way cool as people, sweet boys, with whom i spoke about b-movies from the '50s on and well...physics. it was more of something michael singer was interested in as a hobby.
[the physics are a quartet with three of them being named michael. the other is called chris. so they call themselves, michael singer, michael drums and michael guitar and chris]
it was a good time. then the next day i helped out Pete
[editor of rocklouder and 'rock photographer]
do a photo shoot with Manda Rin which was hella fun. i got to play set dresser and photo assistant. i like that stuff. its way cool.
then the weekend, G was here, which was great to see him. then sleep then work. this week was interesting. Panic At The Disco, was monday, two interviews, broke the band up into twos, the first sucked. they were awful, the second two were lovely. then an interview with Youthmovies who were just fantastic boys. so the day ended on a high. the rest of the week went pretty much like that, it was a quiet week which ended early.
[thank god]
its snowing outside right now. how strange, i like it though...its pretty...
lets see what else, got way way drunk
[in a good, happy way]
on thursday. out at a club, which i havent been out like that forever, and heard all the songs i like to listen to over a very loud soundsystem. its really great being in a place that does that. part of why i moved here....
things are good here, its all going nicely, exactly what i thought it was going to be which is nice. always room for surprise, but i look forward to that...
more tv, more west wing
[because it is the god among all things, yes i am starting again, yes, it is a way of life...]
i watched a deeply embarrassing Sydney White, which i realised very much after the fact that it was a gigantic mixture of fairy tales. um....duh....oh well. i really watched it for one of the actors, no not whats her fuck, amanda bynes, but for a guy called jack carpenter. adorable geeky boy not too stereotyped...im excited for his career, he is very cool.
anyway, that was my embarrassing admission for this post, i am going to go watch another episode of criminal minds.
[thank god for streaming television...]

okey dokey now, long time coming
this one is going to be a boring list of the links to the latest videos up across the three sites. i know i should be doing both, but hey, get off my back. at least i am doing one. and if you are really lucky, really nice to me, maybe i will clue you all in on my little insignificant life.
It Hugs Back In session these guys were so sweet, so quiet, so i dunno, great.
Interview with Adam Green alas, didn't get to meet him, but loved cutting his footage. Very weird, very New York...
Becoming a Better You with We Are Scientists Did i get to meet them...YES! hilarious, wonderful and yes, just as sexy in person.
Does It Offend Does It Offend You, Yeah? This was fun, nice guys, and i got into their afterparty because Morgan recognised me. Hells yes!
That is all for Fake DIY
And now...Clickmusic...
Interview: Elbow They were very cool. Just awesome really.
Interview: Mystery Jets Surprisingly sweet considering im not sure about their music, but they won over this hard hearted girl.... and they did an acoustic version of their single Young Love, annoyingly sweet and poppy, but i warn you, it will certainly warm the cockles... Mystery Jets in session
Interview: Nada Surf Actually, this one wasn't me, it was one of the guys that came in to do work experience for us...
Finally, Rocklouder
Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly. Actually, pretty good for a guy on a guitar...not my thing
[outside of Adam Green really]
but hey...
So thats it for now. the more stuff that goes up, i will try to keep up. Friends of the Bride, Islands who were amazing, and beautiful, especially the lead singer, in that uber-indie boy way. Extremely dry, which i found hilarious, but might not translate that well... and more.
im off to scotland on thursday. stupidly early in the morning, but hey, i'll have the whole train ride to sleep. and then shooting video so a podcast can be cut out of it. i just learned that i am shooting for a professional who makes pod-casts. im not jealous that im not going to be editing it, really not at all, but more terrified that i am not going to shoot the right things, get enough footage, whatever. i have NEVER considered myself a camera person. but i gotta suck it up i guess. i mean this is my job.
and tonight i emailed like 40 people saying hi, i am the new video person. now i am going to be insanely busy. but hey, i might as well act like im staying. oh! i post off my visa application tomorrow. exciting! scary! all sorts of emotions...
personally? why do you ask? im good. everything is just quite good right now. getting back into the swing of things, just watch you will read in a few weeks, how i need something to happen, not that i dont love my job of course, but i want to fall in love! or whatever. god im predictable.
anyhow, now, i am good, going to watch Numb3rs and *eventually* make myself some food.

well crap....
so i got my bag stolen on tuesday. some jerk sat down right behind me for like 10 minutes, and very slyly swiped my bag. i was sitting right there with like 8 of my friends.
it sucks. all my id was in there
[stupid i know, photocopies everyone, photocopy everything!]
passport, id, visa, all my cards, not so much money...but still. now i have to wait until 1 april to get an appointment to apply for a new passport. luckily, my visa has been replaced right quick, so i do have something from an authority with my picture on it saying who i am, which is better than nothing i guess.
and my drivers license wont come until april as well...stupid, no proof of age...
[on the upside, i have learnt how to spell the word license...]
and it was such a good night too...my co-workers birthday i was excited. then this...on the other hand, everyone was so great about it. really helpful. and my english J came and spent time with me because i didnt want to be alone.
so really, the best situation in one of the worst...
meh, things are getting back to normal, just a bit of excitement to remind me that i am human and that i am not all-lucky....
:-)

its been quite a while.
this is becoming a pattern with me. i really need to get into a habit of writing at least a little each day.
its really hard to keep my mind alert and interesting working everyday.
but its been really good thus far. just going along, doing my job, meeting famous people who are good at their jobs, travelling extensively in London and slowly making friends with my coworkers.
ive been thinking today about the power of words. the power of naming things. it stems from a conversation i was having in canterbury.
[i went down this weekend, saw K, and D and B and A [of course] which was great. Ended up staying longer than i expected, but it was lovely and wonderful. thought i am pretty emotionally and physically exhausted]
words are important. and powerful
[duh]
and make real things that are frightening or ephemeral.
i dunno, its pretty silly because it is pretty obvious. anyway, things are good, really good. im happy, living a life that is mine. i hope i can live it for a little while longer at least.
i dont know, i guess im just happy to be here and now and me...
