Was just amusing myself watching the original banned video for Relax by Frankie...cracking stuff and looked tremendous stuff to film featuring all manner of rubber, implied watersports and christ knows what else.

Katie has a job or some kind of internship at BBC Birmingham! How did she manage that, I wonder. It is very very out of the blue, she hasn't worked anywhere near media since a stint for Central about 2001 or so before she moved to France ( Read more... )

Yeah I know, Talking Heads are a nerd band, geeky, head ( Read more... )

Was doing a bit of movie watching last night, as I couldn't sleep per usual for a monday night.
