Song About Us

This buzz about #23 that seems to be …well, buzzing, at the moment has given me an idea.

Why don’t we do a video – as a sort of precursor to the website and documentary? (What better practice?!)

A few commenters on TTB have been clamouring for Operetta to be released as a single.

What better for a “song about you“ than a simple collage of stills and videos of church nuts standing/sitting somewhere in their home town? Each could be captioned with the person’s first name (or nom de blogge) and a few words describing what the band means to them. Remember that wonderful, simple, Reels video ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xDCrP6lZy8 ).

Throw it all together, get it up on youtube ASAP and keep the buzz going. It would be unauthorized, of course, but if the band wanted to use it then all the better.

To make it work, we need NUMBERS. There’d need to be a saturation effort to get people taking photos etc. and sending them in. I think the software I’ve got now can cope with all manner of mixed media so whatever it is (mega high def to 5 year old camera phone to scanned Polaroid) bring it on!

We could have it up and running in a few days

Let’s do this.
