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:

Master Chef

I keep thinking I am missing something.  I wander all over the house, the lounge, the bedroom, the bathroom.  Something is not right.  Until I get to the Kitchen and I realise what it is: “Ready, Steady, Cook”.  I never watch it anymore – is it even on the TV these days?  I have graduated to Masterchef.

However to relieve the tension of not watching “Ready, Steady, Cook” whenever I need to I can simply hire my own Brian Turner for the day and forget all my £5 bag of food worries and the best part is that I won’t have to put up with Ainslie Harriott gooning around either (I wonder what he is like on an off day).

Why Fake Faces is under the impression that we need a replica Brian Turner I am not sure, I would have thought that the real one can probably handle all the required media engagements without too much trouble.  Maybe he doesn’t have a car and this is the only solution.  Odd.
