One Candy Talking (i.e. Making Things On The Internet)

CandyDarling · Post by **CandyDarling** » Wed Apr 28, 2021 6:46 pm

Hello again! Here are a few new things.

JET.

A weirdo remix of that song by Professor Paul Horatio McCartney And His Fabtabulous Wingtraptions. Quite pleased with how this turned out.

Public Image (cover of PiL song)

Cover version of the famed post-Sex Pistols song by John Lydon's then-new band, Public Image Limited, recorded in the halycon days before he started pretending that he actually always liked the Queen, honest...

wobble 50

Quick thing I threw together on a whim, using a clip from a mildly infamous early 60s B-movie ("Wild Guitar").

Hooray. Jet is amazing

Post by **dng** » Wed Apr 28, 2021 6:53 pm

Better than paul McCartney deserves

Post by **dng** » Wed Apr 28, 2021 6:54 pm

Also hello

Post by **dng** » Wed Apr 28, 2021 6:54 pm

again

Post by **dng** » Wed Apr 28, 2021 6:56 pm

Also I was listening to public image limited this morning. Some good hive minding there

Post by **dng** » Wed Apr 28, 2021 6:57 pm

Although it wasn't this song. It was this

I do like these three things.

Rather dig the PIL cover, Jet is pleasingly barking and a tad speeded up Happy Hardcore-y-esque, and Wobble 50 reminds me a bit of a playful/concussed David Lynch!

So Hurrah to all!

Cuntry Life I can understand...

CandyDarling · Post by **CandyDarling** » Thu Apr 29, 2021 2:14 am

Back in 2017, he claimed that he hates the Royal Family but likes The Queen as a person, which is pure revisionism ("...our figurehead is not what she seems...") and is the kind of weasely statement he would have laughed at in 1977. In the same interview he thought Brexit was a great thing, and more recently has attacked "woke culture" and "snowflakes". Oh, and he's also had a go at Meghan & Harry, which is weird because I would have thought that given the earlier statement, he'd be pleased at The Firm's inner machinations being exposed. He's basically yet another in a long line of old men who betrayed their ideals once they became comfortable.

And it is a long line. A very long line indeed.

Into The Algorithm

Music video / short film, with all the music done by me and all the footage taken from pexels.com. A sort of mood piece about Youtube, Tiktok, Instagram, all that.

Post by **dng** » Thu Apr 29, 2021 8:21 pm

excellent. the warping of human behaviour to try and conform to the unknowable/incomprehensible desires of internet recommendation algorithms is the most terrifying thing

Post by **blombluss** » Fri Apr 30, 2021 2:22 pm

You make an excellent point Chriddus - also, yo' music sounds like an early Human League instrumental (which is great), and I also forgot to mention that I tweeted your Wobble 50 video, cos I don't think you're on there anymo', are youse?

CandyDarling · Post by **CandyDarling** » Fri Apr 30, 2021 8:57 pm

No, I'm not on Twitter anymore. I'm pleased about that Human League comparison, as I really like this quite obscure early record of theirs:

The Dignity Of Labour (first track)

And thank you for tweeting "wobble 50"!

A one page website:

Bumsensation

(Safe for work, despite the name)

Post by **dng** » Sun May 02, 2021 8:35 pm

hooray!

Post by **blombluss** » Mon May 03, 2021 2:17 pm

That made me chuckle! Hurrah!

I remember Tony Hancock saying "Go to work on an bumsensation", in that advert for the Bumsensation Marketing Board.

CandyDarling · Post by **CandyDarling** » Mon May 03, 2021 4:33 pm

I almost put that one in, but didn't in the end, for some reason

CandyDarling · Post by **CandyDarling** » Mon May 10, 2021 1:22 am

Two things:

Sad Aphex Twin (possibly NSFW, depending where you work)
Repurposing / recycling of some old things I posted on Tumblr, back when that was actually a site that people used

Tiny Box Warning
Fake advert / PIF, only done in a modern style with 21st Century stock footage. Footage was from the aforementioned pexels.com.

Excellent

Post by **blombluss** » Mon May 10, 2021 6:21 pm

Nice work

CandyDarling · Post by **CandyDarling** » Tue May 11, 2021 2:13 am

I used that Evnene software or whatever it's called to make this (the visuals at least)

What The Meat Brought Us

I'll be using it again, I think - it's pretty decent, but on the downside it has loads of funny UI quirks that make picking it up harder than it needs to be.

Also here is a punk EP thing on Bandcamp (LOUD)

Post by **dng** » Tue May 11, 2021 2:21 am

excellent (the meat one, i haven't listened to the loud one yet)

Post by **dng** » Tue May 11, 2021 11:43 am

I've listened to it now. It is very loud indeed

It is indeed!

Reminds me a bit of Atari Teenage Riot, which is a good thing, obvs.

re: What The Meat Brought Us

That much amused me! So job done!

CandyDarling · Post by **CandyDarling** » Wed May 19, 2021 8:47 am

Thanks to you both!

A new six-minute Bandcamp track is now out for a quid:

Studio Asp pts. 1 + 2

here's the blurb I wrote:Studio asps burn like madness and then succumb to rotting. The ending of them always happens before complete juice is extracted!

What goes wrong? Who's to blame here? A tisket? A tasket? A fine yellow basket?

No: "Policies," said a man falling backwards out of a window.

Post by **dng** » Wed May 19, 2021 7:18 pm

exellent. i like that a lot

CandyDarling · Post by **CandyDarling** » Sun May 30, 2021 7:47 pm

Belated thanks. Here's another single track out on Bandcamp:

Something's Not Quite Right

And it's also on Youtube.

Post by **blombluss** » Mon May 31, 2021 1:04 am

exceellent. that made laugh, out loud, in the silence of an empty house

Post by **blombluss** » Thu Jun 17, 2021 1:16 am

Heh!

I'm pleased I 'got' it, as I don't actually know that much 'bout the show!

Cheeseburgeritis pleases me.

CandyDarling · Post by **CandyDarling** » Fri Jun 25, 2021 2:41 am

Thank you both. I think I may have used the word "Cheesburgeritis" in something before, but I originally got it from a baffling dream I had when I was seven. In the dream I found a book which was called "Cheesburgeritis", and it had Daffy Duck on the cover looking through a magnifying glass at some spots (he was a doctor). The magnifying glass revealed the spots to be tiny cheeseburgers.

For the record, I recall the title of the book being typeset in Cooper Black Bold. Off-hue scarlet text against beige. Great days, Eddie.

Amazing. Best dream

Post by **dng** » Fri Jun 25, 2021 11:20 am

I just dreamt that I couldn't remember Chris Ware's name, and then I woke up and I really couldn't remember Chris Ware's name, so I had to go and look at the Chris Ware books on my bookcase to find out Chris Ware's name, but none of those had Chris Ware's name on it at all anywhere I could find, and it was as if Chris Ware's name had been erased from history

Post by **dng** » Fri Jun 25, 2021 11:22 am

so I had to come and look it up on the internet and find out that Chris Ware's name hadn't been erased from history and that Chris Ware was called Chris Ware after all

CandyDarling · Post by **CandyDarling** » Tue Jul 13, 2021 10:16 pm

That's like a much better version of that "Yesterday" film.

Also, sorry I haven't been around much lately. To make up for it here is this nonsense.

Post by **dng** » Tue Jul 13, 2021 10:19 pm

excellent. i think that might be the first seinfeld related item of any kind that has ever made me laugh
