All the same
Its Sunday night and I was standing in my living room doing my ironing for the week. Yes, I know. Don't faint. All of this talent etc. and he can keep a house as well. Shocking I know.
I should be clear, my skills are not all encompassing.
- Cooking, very much so
- Dishes, not if I cooked for you. That's not fair
- Ironing, grudgingly but well
- Laundry, no problem. I even weaned myself of tumbler dryer dependence
- Cleaning. This is my failing. I am NOT a good cleaner I am afraid.
- Domestic coordination, I am a rock star. Give me a project and stand back
- Gardening, disinterested
That little domestic revelation aside, I was watching 60 minutes while I pressed my business shirts and before they aired a shockingly obsequious interview with J'Ho (John Howard, Prime Ministerial side kick to the US President) they showed a segment about You Tube and in particular how it is providing a launch platform for talent that would otherwise not have access to public awareness.
The segment was in the usual self serious, breathless, surprised tone usually reserved for talking to people with little contact with technology about its many wonders BUT it did have some interesting content – which was a bit of a surprise really.
They showed a Sydney Band – Sick Puppies – who by posting a clip on You Tube 3 weeks ago shot themselves from unknown to well on the road to success.
I don't feel the need to jump on 60 Minutes bandwagon for content, heaven forbid, but the track, All the same , and the film clip really are BLOODY good. I am not a big one for guitar rock, but there is something ab out this track that is moving for me. And the film clip is simple and really clever, all the more because its showing a real person in Sydney. Watch it an you will see what I mean.
And if you want a copy of the track (I did) you can get it at the iTunes Music store.
Enjoy
