Combat Wombat live at spectrum
I actually made it out to a gig on a Friday night - this is one of my favourite Sydney bands Combat Wombat - they're on my fav Sydney label, elefant traks. they're partly a subversive, hip hop, outdoor party band, & have been running a traveling vege-oil & solar powered van & crew called the "Lab Rats Solar Sound System" which traveled the outback and brought music & mayhem to various outback & Indigenous Australian towns for many years - before the cars were talking about being converted. http://www.myspace.com/labratssolarpoweredsoundsystem Combat Wombat at the Curse ov Dialect album launch 27/11/2009 http://www.elefanttraks.com/chooser.cfm?view=artists&artistId;=81 http://blip.tv/file/2904562
Day 27 - What I Didn't See
Here’s my decidedly lo-fi contribution to the 30 Days 30 People 30 Videos project for Navlopomo 2009. This video follows yesterdays collection of rituals rendered in animated gifs by Jennifer Proctor. Next up: Kerry Brogan.
Day 26 - Rituals - Animated GIFs
It’s NaVloPoMo ([Inter]National Vlog Posting Month), and this year, thanks to Rupert, a month-long video-chain has been created in lieu of the traditional post-a-video-a-day-all-month insanity. This year, vloggers were asked to sign up for a particular day during November and, based on the video that came before theirs, make and post something for that day. I chose American Thanksgiving, 26 days into the vlogging festivities. After viewing Trine’s NaVloPoMo video, I started thinking about the rituals we perform to mark moments in time. This Thanksgiving, I didn’t get to see my extended family, and, to my surprise, I found myself particularly missing those traditions that happen year after year. So I decided to document a few little rituals that took place on my holiday: baking, opening the window to the unusually empty street, a long day watching TV specials (this year, a “Band of Brothers” marathon that I only occasionally partook in). I’ve also been thinking quite a bit about loops lately, and of course the very notion of rituals or traditions implies a loop or cycle, a way of passing on heritage from one generation to the next. These little documents then became loops in the form of animated GIFs - a departure from conventional vlogging, I know, but it seemed the most appropriate form for these little moments to take. It’s an idea I’d like to explore more - animated GIF as documentary. Next up: Brook Hinton!
Day 25 - 3 Generations
Following from Frank's video exploration of Darwin and evolution yesterday, I was inspired to think about generations and families, how they change and evolve over time. David made a recording of his dad years ago, talking about what life was like when he was young. Listening to it again this morning, I was struck by the fact that he made £2.10 pr week in his first job, less money than I spent on his grandson's birthday cake! The third generation is a bit more subtle. I'll leave that for you to think about....
