Hello there. I’m obviously incredibly excited about the inauguration of Barack Obama; a day full of hope to be followed by four years of struggle and disappointment.
A similar feeling of excitement followed by frustration and possibly even anger can be engendered by watching the video clips below.
The lovely girls from the leftover sessions interviewed me just before Christmas and here are the results…. nearly half an hour of Tillerpop wittering.I reckon clip 3 is the best, but I’ll leave that decision to you.
So here they are. Good luck…
And here’s clip number two…
And finally…
Thanks for watching and thanks to Victoria, Mary, Von and Sherri (the leftovers) for asking to interview me and then doing it.It was a lot of fun and it’s always nice to be wanted.
I do hope everything goes well for Barack really by the way.
Exciting news. Giles Coren has commented on my song about his snotty email. You can see the comment here. At least I’m guessing it must be him. It’s good of Giles to engage in the debate. Except he hasn’t really. Actually there isn’t much of a debate – I’ve sung the song and some people have posted comments. I don’t think he likes the song, but is pleased that someone went to the effort of writing one. There wasn’t much effort into it really – it’s not my best tune, let’s admit it. Actually I just listened back to it and the end’s quite good.
It’s weird that people have posted about Giles’ racist views on youtube – I hadn’t heard about that – anyone got the evidence? I can’t be arsed to do a google search on it right now. Anyhow, it’s always nice to be noticed, even by the victim of your powerful musical invective, which has surely shaken the media establishment to its foundations. He even had to create a youtube account to make the comment and then complains about the fact that his name’s been taken (he has hilariously called himself gilescorenc**t, if it’s him that is). There may just be someone else called Giles Coren, Giles. Odd, very odd.
