New Vlog Video!

I have just uploaded a new vlog video on to The Monopod Monologues watch it and see me ramble about Twinkies.

So you got an HD camera for Christmas?

…or you’ve just bought a device that lets you shoot in HD format, and you want to start making videos? http://vimeo.com/videoschool The Vimeo Video School is a collection of tutorials that give you the basics on shooting, editing and taking excellent videos.  My videos are often a bit odd, or badly edited, or pointless.  These [...]

The Inevitable Way

I have a vlog, and I thought I would just plug it, sort of.  This is the last entry…

Cameron Carpenter and other YouTube organ clips..

I have been obsessing lately, (only as a performer, promise…) over this chap… This is his fantastic Improvisations on a Theme of Carmen/Bizet on the Trinity Wall Street virtual pipe organ, (the original one was destroyed by dust in the 9/11 attacks, so they’ve replaced it with a ‘virtual’ M&O organ).  There are lots of [...]

Update and Robin Williams, classic 1979 on CBS

I sat here for a bit thinking, now what exactly am I going to write in my blog.  Given I have been very slack in writing ANYTHING, let alone blog entries, I think I have to at least show that I am still alive and although the tumultous way life is going at the moment [...]

Top 10 ‘In My Head’ YouTube posts.

I am addicted to YouTube, it is official.  My addictive personality makes me do some weird things, typewriters, writing poems, play Quake Wars solidly for 5 hours.  But I am happy to say that like many people that read this blog, I watch YouTube constantly.  It’s a great source of music, and you can discover [...]

Where are you going?

The genius that is Tom Green  

Smashing Pumpkins – That’s the way (my love is)

Latest offering from Corgan and his croonies, it is stuck in my head so I had to post it up as it is a really well written song!

Early November

My discovery of the month, Early November.  Similiar sound to Foo Fighters but really nice harmonies and tight song writing.  Vaguely Emo but not painful!

Rocket From The Crypt

I really have let myself go with my blog, I guess it’s down to the fact we are tres busy at work now and that I have ran out of things to say generally to everyone apart from functional things and slightly mindless replies, grunts and empty agreements. Rocket From The Crypt are an amazing [...]

Stone Temple Pilots – Days Of The Week

This video defined an era for me in so many ways.  You go through life growing up and developing, throughout stages of your life there is always music to put on the ‘soundtrack to your life’ when you become a famous superstar for whatever reason.  This would be on the ‘university being drunk, poor and depressed’ part [...]

Visual Basic and James Blunts Triangle

Well, that was most probably the funniest thing I have seen today. Today, well, what a day I say I say. Total chaos as we get closer to next week, students are back and we are full of inductions and mayhem in general. I have created my first web browser in Visual Basic which I [...]

Apt

I felt this was very apt as this is how I feel at the moment!

Gogol Bordello

 Best act at Reading this year? Smashing Pumpkins were there? Close competition.  Didn’t go. Too poor and not worthy obviously. Big grey cloud today. Not going in to it as it’ll depress me. Bastardo.

Newton Faulkner – Galaxy Zoo

This is really me following the crowd with this one, but here is a man who knows how to play a guitar. Its refreshing to know that there is talent out there that isn’t Jack Johnson or Jose Gonzalez or whateverhisnameis.  Really glad that I found this video as it takes my mind off the [...]

How to write the great American Novel [Video]

I shall be doing this quite a bit.  Maybe not drinking or telling my family to go to hell, but apart from that it seems like a winning combinatio. Been off today, done nothing of any use thankfully.  Going out to buy some food for midnight feast, pass the bread rolls old boy..

Yann Tiersen – Le Train

This has to be my favourite music video of the moment.  Going ghost hunting tonight , not sure where yet, its more of an experiment rather then anything else.

Cheese Green and the Sony Bravia adverts with spoof.

When I rule the world, which will be in about 2 years 2 months and 8 days by the way (October 2010), when my minion armies of trained Squirrels seize power from Westminster and do my evil bidding, I will make it compulsory for everyone to write a poem, everyday.  Now, like most politicians, I [...]

Betjeman & Train

Two things that interest me in this rare clip showing John Betjeman talking about the Kings Lynn route from London, a rare glimpse in to the mind of a great poet and writer, and a chance to see rare footage of 1960′s BR. It’s almost like my grandfather giving me one of his little lectures [...]

International Philosophers – Monty Python
