Every time I come to this thread, I like to scroll up and rewatch the wedding one.

That last one has a similar vibe.

I saw this theatre show called Western Society from the german/uk collective Gob Squad. They found this strange video on youtube of a family gathering that only had about ten views and they set about trying to recreate/re-enact the video. At a certain point it becomes clear that The Gob Squad know the video too well to re-enact the video as they wish since they know it too well it lacks the spontaneity required so they choose random people from the audience to do it by throwing a teddy bear (iirc) into the audience and whoever catches it has to be part of the re-enactment. The gob squad members take the audience places in the seating bank and control the audience members (now performers) via linked headsets, telling them how to re-enact the action of the random youtube video. After running the scene a few times they get the audience members to do a final take, so to speak, while running the original clip in the background. Its funny while they are building up to it and then when they do the final take it is, for some reason I'm not sure I can define, supremely and overwhelmingly moving.

I'm not sure how that related to your videos and music but I have thought about it several times while watching your films. And it's not for the obvious reasons, I don't think.

yes, the obvious reason is thinking about how some of these videos may be re-enacted but there's more to it that I can't quite work out.

yer some man, saer.

maybe it's to do with the fact that you make these very interesting artifacts that not many people see. I don't mean that as a dis at all but it adds to the somewhat arcane quality of the project.

Late Work for Uhz is a cover of Moments in Love, right?

thanks! I will have a look at that!

An unfortunate relegation to the bottom tier means that pasties are likely to be reduced further in price next year at Boundary Park but hopefully there'll be no corners cut!

In the meantime we got some jams beamed in from Perm and so far its gone reasonably well, almost entirely unmolested by bureaucrats and circus strongmen
