But please reassure the minions and old timers that I will be unobtrusive while I keep an eye on things. I will be crouching the other side of an invisible line, behind an imaginary Chinese wall inside a transparent box wearing a different hat, running a computer simulation of the current situation from behind an informal desk fellating a made-up banana. They are not to worry about me. Not until I creep up in the dead of night and hit them over the head with a piece of two-by-four with a single six-inch nail sticking out of it.

The genius from the  Thick of It, Malcolm Tucker, is back and his latest election strategy for labour has been published in the Guardian.  Fantastic!

Storm

Still From "Storm"

At the 2008 Robin Ince run “Nine Lessons and Carols for Godless People” in London, comedian Tim Minchin performed his 9 minute beat poem “Storm.”  Tracy King was at the event and afterwards approached Tim with the proposal of turning the poem into an animation.  He quickly accepted.  The film is not finished yet (there is a production blog here) but an official trailer has been released and it looks amazing.  I can’t wait to see the full nine minutes.

The full audio is also on you tube:
