HOME AND AWAKE

Finally, I’m home from Europe and have shaken off the residue from my first real taste of the wonders of jetlag. 48 hours of no sleep, plus a time-shifted body clock, plus temperatures 30 degrees higher than when I left didn’t really go down too well. But that’s been and gone and I’m now finishing off the taxes and paperwork that were waiting for me here, soon to start putting some of my (overcast and grey, sigh) photos online. While I was out in Newtown on Sunday night with friends from uni, I came across a DVD which I just had to buy: WarpVision: The Videos 1989 - 2004

It’s a compilation of 32 music videos of artists on the Warp label, like Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, LFO, and Nightmares on Wax and by directors such as Chris Cunningham, Alex Rutterford, Pleix, and The Designers Republic. I haven’t finished looking at them all, but so far, they’ve been damn good. While I’m at it, I’ll also plug the awesome DVDs sitting next to this one on my shelf: Directors Label: Spike Jonze, Chris Cunningham, Michel Gondry. Get these now!
