Download Festival, Donnington 2010
AC/DC and Them Crooked Vultures at Donnington for the Download Festival. I’d never have paired these two in the same event, but they were each unbelievably awesome, and for very different reasons.

Korsakoff’s Psychosis by Return to Netley Things Have Changed
Revisiting some footage of atomic tests. Explosions often feature in my videos. Some of this was used previously in Queens of the Stone Age – In My Head. Read into it what you will, but I find these explosions to be very seductive.
The song is by shardcore with whom I recently saw Philip Glass perform Koyaanisqatsi live. It might have influenced this video a bit.
I’ve been busy recently, with work and my guitar, but it’s nice to have an afternoon to give to FCP.

Caligulove – Them Crooked Vultures & Betty Boop
Betty Boop used to party! Here, she is set to Them Crooked Vultures’ song Caligulove. A little lighter than recent videos.

Airbourne @ Hammersmith Apollo
Only band I’ve seen 3 times. They seemed to be better the other 2 times. Smaller crowds, perhaps. Still much fun.

Manners by Return to Netley Things Have Changed
It’s nice to use music to which I have the rights, or at least whose rights belong to a friend (shardcore) who is unlikely to complain.
I’m not sure why I was so fixated on spanking for this video -- it’s not a fetish, but I’ve always associated *manners* with parental punishment and I had Catholic discipline in my mind, for some odd reason, and they love that stuff. Using footage from *Drugs are Like That (1979)*, *The Innocents (1961)*, *The Bad Seed (1956)* & *Albert Fish: In Sin He Found Salvation (2007)*.

Hominid by Return To Netley Things Have Changed
I made a video for the song Hominid by Return To Netley Things Have Changed (onetime project of shardcore), with footage from some odd behavioural experiments with a child and a chimp that I found on archive.org.
It does not come as a surprise to me that while I was using twitter and other *social* networks, my productivity dropped to nothing. Deleting my online accounts suddenly returned the time and focus that had been consumed by irrelevancies. I’m just saying… ymmv.
