That is all.

Narcissistic Glasgwegian YouTube funnyman Limmy appears to be getting his own show on BBC Scotland, airing next month. Yes, he of Requiem fame.

His humour is hit and miss, sometimes bizarre.

Good luck to him, though. Any more info would be appreciated.

Preview of Ana Hušman's 'Lunch'

I wanted to shout out a fabulous piece of art that I saw last week at a Creative Commons event here in Zürich. I was manning a stall all night so didn’t have the chance to fully enjoy it at the time, but having seen it again thanks to Ramon Cahenzli, I’m very glad that I went to the event.

The director’s name is Ana Hušman, and the piece is a short video called ‘Lunch’. It’s half stop-motion, half full-motion, and all genius (fractions were never my strong point, but in this case I’m right).

It takes the form of a guide to dinner party etiquette, but it’s set in a quasi-1970s world of sideboards, sideburns and sideways glances. It really reminded me – and do bear in mind my Neanderthal-level knowledge of high culture – of the vibe of Wes Anderson movies like The Royal Tenenbaums, The Darjeeling Limited, and other studies of social dysfunction. The dialogue sounds like it’s straight out of a stiff-upper-lip British public information film.

Besides the cool aesthetic, the work that must have gone into it is incredible. Be sure to watch until the end for some amazing stop-motion sequences involving crocheting-by-numbers and stripping back the furniture that was used during the dinner party.

The artist is Croatian, and I can’t find too much more information about her. There’s an interview in Croatian here, and another piece of work by her entitled The Market, which gives some impression of her style. But I’d really recommend that you download the torrent of Lunch. It’s licensed under Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike 3.0 Croatia, so it’s K for P to download and share.

…Then I could go back and join this band in the 80s:

They were called Celtic Frost, and as you can see, their lunging, leather-wearing and posing skills were exemplary. And they were from where ?

Switzerland.

Yeah, I know.

Kudos to Greig, a dude I know, for his amazing Theremin/Rock Band crossover. Almost 100,000 views on YouTube so far.

Why? BECAUSE HE CAN.

Oh, and with a neural interface too…

Be sure to visit the videos’ homepages on YouTube to get the details on what he’s doing.
