Smash TV website rolls off the tongue nicely!
I had a week long break from Facebook. Not even much to report back on that one other than I actually didn’t miss much.
Well, consider this update big enough to make up for a week of no updates, I do of course hope you have been enjoying my odd tweets here and there. Perhaps social media should be a little more personal? I feel like I’m talking at people all the time on here and not too them. How are you all doing?
In other news (pun intended) bits of my video were lapped up by an indie based in Leeds who did a Panorama on the Manchester riots. It’s called ‘Inside the Riots’ and expires from iPlayer tonight so click here to watch it and look out for my clips which appear at: 9:06 , 15:25 , 24:55 (time coded links, might work depending on the cookies… it’s not a typo, and yep cookies are nice) It’s a good program to watch, brought back mixed emotions (none of them good ones).
I’ll take a deep breath and hopefully edit up some of the recent images I’ve taken of the homeless and rough sleeping here in Manchester whilst I ponder the approach to my documentary plans.
Take it easy folks and don’t forget to say hi now and again!
That’s all from my rough around the edges update, apologies for any typo’s or lack of thinking. Last time I checked I type 60 WPM and I tend to type faster than I can think… in my hectic lifestyle I either rattle out some thoughts into a blog, or not at all so here it is. If you want to read more of my ramblings a little encouragement, further debate, questions or any sort of response will go a long way. I’d like to know what you’d like to read from me next, or see… or hear…
The world is ours
No corner of the planet is beyond bounds. Norwegian death metal, Brazilian freak punk, Baille funk, Mexican quiff bop, English punk, electronic pop, Angolan Kuduro music, north African hip hop, the foulest bedsit dubstep, Manchester lad bands, Turkish gypsy music, Goa Trance, Japanese freak noise, African rhythms, Karnatik folk, Greek Mohawked anarchists and Indian metal hardcore – it’s all in here and more; we celebrate the classic Anglo American axis but we are not constrained by it. We are open to suggestions. We are open.
" I can only assume these are the words of John Robb which I quote from the pop culture website that he runs. This excerpt meant something to me as it pretty much describes the music I listen to even down the the seemingly sporadic but well defined and colourful way in which I phase & dive through the genres that complete my existence. I get bored of asking people what sort of music they like and getting the dull and non-specific answer “everything” which often is accompanied with a dismissive shrug of the shoulders and the same question thrown unimaginatively right back at me… well next time I might recite something a little more flamboyant which truly reflects my eclectic taste and varied-ness. I like everything too just like certain people who have very little to say whilst having general small talk or getting to know one another. I don’t knock people for their ability to maintain conversation, however an answer to such a question does I feel reflect not just ones taste, but also level of passion. You can soon tell though that there are those who like “everything” because they don’t have the passion for any particular genre, and those who have so much passion for every genre that they can barely contain it all (and also like everything… everything and then some!)
