Migrating Forms


Tube Time was so much fun! It was super nice meeting Mary, Kelly and Matt and hanging out IRL. I had such a great time -- let's do it again! The youtubes were amazing and it was so nice to see them on the big screen in front of a vocal audience. Highlights for me included awkward teen dance footage, hobos new and old, Ian Mackaye throwing faces at a lame interviewer, and "Coney" by Frank and Caroline Mouris (nice one Mary). The one that I keep thinking about though is another one of Mary's picks, a homemade music video by a band covering the Smiths. The end of the clip is oddly moving.



Here's one of the clips that I showed.


Me a few hours before the show.

    Wish I could have been there. Is there a playlist you'd be willing to share?

    Hi! Kelly and I were both saying how much we wished you could be there. I played brief clips drawn from:

    Hey, Wow, thanks! So sweet of you both. And thanks for all these links. Now I have to get to work.

    Thank you so much for sharing your playlist! Looks like you had an excellent (tube) time and wore a nice shirt.

    Yeah, it was a blast. How did your gig with Andy Votel and Doug Shipton go?

    Really sorry I missed it, Ben. I had all intentions on going, but had a half day of work, went out with some folks from my new job afterward and got smashed way too early in the day for my own good. Was probably sleeping by the time you were showing videos. Hopefully, you'll do something like this again before too long...

    Ah next time. It was a hot day, perfect for drinking.

    @Ben re: Votel/Shipton: We had a very good time. Also because we had dinner with Bruno Spoerri before the event (Doug met him for the first time in real life, Andy had met him at our festival last year were we had invited both, I had worked with Spoerri several times) and promising further collaborations between Spoerri and Finders Keepers were discussed (I hope you have both Spoerri FK-compilations).
    Anyway, a t&t video programme would have fit in very well. Let me know if you're planning to cross the ocean eastwards.

    Woah, dinner with Bruno Spoerri?! Sounds fun. It gets me wondering about your offline identity. I love the Gluckskugel record on FK, but I didn't know there was another one. Gluckskugel rocks!

    Bruno is such a kind and modest person. The second compilation is Extrakugel on the FK sublabel Disposable Music. I like it even more than Glückskugel. Offline identities: see email.
