Terry Wogan's Cock

Today was really good. I started off by utilizing my new, more central situation by walking to Drews house. There, I helped with some filming for milk paton, including a highly serious matter of trying ti sellotape a toy fiat 500 to a kitchen knife with a flashing light suspended above it. Stupid as it sounds, even I was laughing at it, sure enough the test footage drew got was pretty effective. That's one thing I love about film making; you literally make do with what you've got, ending up with some ridiculous scenarios like above but you work around it so that in the final piece it looks completely in place, sometimes even totally unremarkable. What they say is true though; the best special effects go by completely unnoticed. Also this afternoon I went with drew, darroch and josh to James redmonds 21st barbecue. It turned out to be more than acceptable banter. They even had some Quorn for it as they didn't know I was a veggie but someone else was, so GREAT SUCCESS etc. This evening I went into town, driven by Darroch who was picking up Beast. Along the way we encountered the hordes of people marching towards the rod Stewart concert. We did sit in the car screaming."rod Stewart's shit!", reenacting his gruff voice and comparing his general appearance to a 'drunken squirrel' as darroch put it, but we realised this was drunken neddish behavior and stopped before our voices got loud enough to be heard by the human herds. I stayed in town, not to see Rod, but to go to Ironworks to take photos of nick and Matt's band, seed of sorrow. I got a backstage pass which was awesome as not only did I get in for free but there was free beer backstage meaning the night didn't cost me a penny. The support act were called Bin Laden's Daughter and were a punk band who sung imaginatively titled songs ranging from 'Condoleeza Rice' to 'Terry Wogan's Cock'. They weren't my sort of music really but played well and were sound guys. Waiting for seed of sorrow I was excited about seeing my friends' band completely aware that even if they werent that good id enjoy it because they're friends. However when they broke into their first full song I was blown away: they're really really good. Matt is the vocalist and he completely owned the stage and audience. Everyone else had great presence as well, so the relatively small crowd were all hooked. I got some good photos which ill sort out once I actually have a computer in the house. Song of the day really has to be clown puncher by seed of sorrow. You won't find it on YouTube though.
