Oopstairs

Next Wednesday (the 9th), the Dublin live scene sees the grand return of Storkboy Choons and Colours Move. Once again its a Foggy Notions affair. They'll be playing the upstairs room in Whelans in support of that sophisticated Canadian bleep-merchant Milosh and Mr Donal Dineen. This time around the boys intend to supplement their laptops with a bag of new tricks, including visuals by their mates and an actual musical instrument. Fancy that. I attempted some visuals for the colours move track 'winters' and ya can see the choppy results below. At times its quite out of sync, but I think I succeeded in giving it some of the qualities of the track. Before anyone pulls me up over this, yes it does contain super 8 footage, and yes I did say something about "the usual super 8 bollocks" in my comment box a few weeks ago. I made the video out of imovie and an affecting old clip I found. I had a holy fuck moment yesterday when I found out that such a powerful piece of time-wastingly (nay life-drainingly) addictive software as imovie had slumbered unused in my laptop for the past three years. I thought my life was fucked from blogging. Its really fucked now. I'm gonna spend the next 4 months pretending to be Michel Gondry and lamely faffing around with this shit.

Video: Colours Move-Winters


Winters really crawled under my skin when I was making that clip. It has a genuine emotional tug.
