Playlist 27.06.11

Last week I saw Dan Todd from Cashier No 9, was wearing a papier-mâché diving helmet and singing veeeeerrrry slowly. It was a video shoot for the band's upcoming single 'Lost At Sea' and the plan was to make many thousands of digital stills and then speed them up as a kinda stop-time animated adventure. It looked like a silent movie from more innocent times, and I liked it plenty. So the band members were performing against a cheaply painted backdrop of undersea weeds. Elsewhere there was a rickety boat that wouldn't have taken anywhere far, and a load of wine bottles, that might have simply been refreshments between takes.

The song itself is a handy follow-up to 'Goldstar', and another eloquent persuader for the album, 'To The Death Of Fun'. Producer David Holmes has been getting extra value from his kettle drums (first featured on the legendary 'Smokebelch II' remix, nearly 20 years ago) and the harmonica flights of Tommy Morgan.

Back at the video shoot and Dan was peering out of his cranky helmet and looking like his job was getting a bit hard to fathom. I'd say full fathom five, at least.
