This video is kind of hilarious and sad at the same time because of how true it is. Thanks to Mark for posting it on Facebook. Reminds me why I haven’t bothered to send a CD to a record label in four or five years now, and why I’ll never waste my time or resources doing that again for the rest of my life.
Also, David Firth is a genius, and his take on the British music scene is pretty prescient.
David Firth is awesome. I continuously go back to that vid when I want to laugh. Along with Don Hertzfeldt, he’s one of my favourite things about the internet.
The first time I saw his Valentine’s Day and Christmas videos, I laughed so hard I almost fell over. That probably doesn’t reflect very well on me, given what happens in those little shorts, but I couldn’t help myself. He has a way of taking something horribly offensive or unsettling and pushing it so far it becomes hilarious in its insanity. I dig his darker stuff too, like “Salad Fingers” and “Spoilsbury Toast Boy”. If his full-length animated film ever comes to fruition, it should be pretty interesting.
