Don’t set fire to yourself

June 28th, 2009 by One Inch Man

Ever so sorry for the delay. I finally arrived in France a few weeks ago and finally got hooked up to teh intertubez about a week ago.
Since then I’ve been trying to re-familiarize myself with this whole interwebs malarkey and generally get back into the swing of things.
I figured it was about time I updated the blog.
That said, I don’t have much in the way of actual updates just now, although you may be happy/interested/disgusted/terrified to hear that I’ve started work on the next record. More on that later, in the meantime, here is an awesome 80s movie mashup video for the song Lisztomania by Phoenix. Enjoy!

First of all, I should apologise for the appalling lack of updates lately.
I really have no excuse. I’ve simply been too busy arsing around on Twitter or watching X-Files or Burn Notice or Charlie Brooker’s Screenwipe to bother!

So I figure a quick stream of consciousness post about awesome stuff I’ve seen or heard lately might help make up for it.

Before I try and think of awesome stuff though, let me start be mentioning something despicable.
Namely ‘journalist’ Paula Murray’s sickeningly vile excuse for an article in a recent edition of the Scottish Daily Express.

Rather than try to explain in detail here, I shall instead refer you to the blog of TV writer, actor, director and burgeoning web crusader, Graham Linehan.
His recent post on the article and the subsequent campaign to get the paper to apologise and is far more eloquent and informative than anything I could hope to write on the subject.
Besides which, you should check out his blog anyway because he’s a bit of a legend.

Just promise me you’ll come back here when you’ve finished. Deal?

The Express Wins The Race To The Bottom

Finished? Shameful excuse for front page news isn’t it? I hope you signed the petition!

Anywho, at least Graham’s blog is jam packed with other funny stuff, so it’s not all doom and gloom.
Consider Why, That’s Delightful! Awesome Thing Number 1.

Awesome Thing Number 2:

I’ve watched countless excellent videos on YouTube recently (mostly via Twitter recommendations). Here’s a few of them.

Kutiman Remixing YouTube

That’s right, fantastic music made by sampling YouTube instructional videos! The best bit is the fact the songs have ready made music videos themselves. Genius.

You should visit his channel and watch all his other videos too. Freakin’ brilliant! Kutiman’s Channel

David Letterman Bill Hicks Apology
On January 30th 2009, after more than 15 years, David Letterman finally apologised for screwing Bill over just before his tragic death by inviting BIll’s mother on the show and finally broadcasting the routine that sparked the controversy.
It’s surprisingly moving and the routine is unsurprisingly brilliant.

Part 2 (Interview with Mary Hicks)

Part 3 (The long lost routine)

Awesome Thing Number 3:

Oh. My. Days!
I’m so excited about this. Where The Wild Things Are is one of my favourite things in the universe.

Anywho, I’m gonna stop at 3 so I’ll have plenty of other things to post in the future.

Until then

The selection is completely arbitrary and by no means complete.
Some are just creepy, while others really are kinda scary.
The Stone Temple Pilots video, while creepy and atmospheric, is included mostly because it features Sarah Michelle Gellar.

Supergrass - Mary

Aphex Twin - Come To Daddy

Aphex Twin - Windowlicker (Long Version)

Basement Jaxx - Where’s Your Head At?

Tool - Prison Sex

Stone Temple Pilots - Sour Girl

I was browsing through the videos recommended to me by Last.fm and, on a whim, decided to post one at random here.
Basically, because I couldn’t be bothered to think of anything else to post this evening.

So, as recommended by last.fm, and by way of youtube, the uncensored version of the excellent Daydream In Blue by I Monster.
Which reminds me, I guess this is technically NSFW so, if such things bother you, avert your eyes now.
Or at least make sure your boss’s eyes are averted.

Just a quicky to post a YouTube link to an example of this awesome animation technique.

I would definitely like to see a One Inch Man video using this idea in future.
