stop and listen for a while

I’ve been wanting to try podcasting for a looong time. So here is the first attempt. I’m joined for this experiment by the totally awesome Simon Pollock of gtvone.com. We cover a huge range of topics from facebook, social networking, the iPad, SEO for photographers, Music, Gowalla, Openscreen.tv, Bands, The Panasonic DMC-TS2, The Nikon Coolpix s8000, Lecia Lenses blessed by kitten love and a whole host of other topics. We basically rattle on for an hour and a half for your listening pleasure. I hope you find the audio quality passable (considering its via skype and my first attempt). I’d love to have some feedback in the comments on either the topics covered, whether you found it useful/entertaining and more importantly if I should do more? Enjoy!

So to try and make up for it and in substitute of imparting my carefully thought out musings I shall leave you with another cool vimeo flick that caught my eye this week. I love searching the web for inspiration and this one really struck me for a number of reasons. It’s not necessarily my kind of music (although it’s a grower) but the video certainly rocks. I love the use of dark and light and then vibrant colour – especially alongside the animated vintage style drawings and the surreal action elements. Hopefully you get a kick out of it also…

“I Say Fever” – the first video from the Ramona Falls debut album Intuit. Directed by the ridiculously talented Stefan Nadelman, winner of a 2003 Sundance prize for his 22 minute film ‘Terminal Bar’, a prolific animator in the commericial field and the mastermind behind the Menomena Evil Bee video.
