What's he on about now?

In case the articles, essays and opinions throughtout this site just weren't enough for you, here's my online diary (a.k.a. 'blog'). It's as close as you'll come to the inside of my head, so don't say I didn't warn you
(and remember, you can always e-mail me if you love or loathe anything you're about to read)...

   THE PROJECT

I had lunch with James this morning and we talked about personal issues and our sex lives and who knows what else over bacon and eggs, but he caught me blushing when I told him that I'd edited together a video -- my first YouTube entry (!) and possibly the geekiest video ever.

Back in May, the two biggest pop culture events for me were the near-simultaneous release of the new Pet Shop Boys album "Fundamental" and the "Doctor Who" episodes bringing back the Cybermen (I believe I may have casually mentioned both of them here before). It just so happened that both the idea of the Cybermen and the song "Integral" were inspired by mankind's mad rush for efficiency and order -- parables of dehumanization.

Which is really just a poncy way of saying that the song became fused in my head as a 'Cyberman Anthem' but now, thanks to the wonders of some editing software, I can show you what I mean. It's an evening of my life I won't get back and the nerdiest thing I've ever done but it was made with love -- and I hope the lawyers at Parlophone Records and the BBC will keep that in mind!

Labels: Doctor Who, friends, Pet Shop Boys
