I had this ridiculous exchange on Twitter this week:
Australia Post on Twitter

"Most of my heroes don't appear on no stamps" is a line from the Public Enemy song "Fight the Power" from 1989. Which is around the time I started getting into PE. It's also referenced in the title track from their most recent album "Most of My Heroes Still Don't Appear on No Stamps". Which I recommend - after 25 or more years they can still bring the noise.

The poor chap who runs the Australia Post twitter Account sent me to read their Stamp Issue Policy, saying "they may not meet our stamp policy guidelines"! And also suggested their Personalised Stamp service... Maybe I could make a stamp with a picture of Chuck D and Flavor Flav on it.

I suggested they watch this:

And that was the end of the exchange!

As a footnote, it seems more of their heroes are finally appearing on stamps:

(I should be doing homework, so this'll have to be brief!)

There is a very silly bunch of people called 5 Second Films who make, oddly enough, films that go for five seconds. They're a bit hit and miss, but at 5 seconds a pop, you're not wasting much time.

A while back they posted this:

And later this:

About "Tom Fucking Watson, Member for West Bromwich East". I found them hilarious.

Later I discovered there really was at Tom Watson, member of the Labour Party and of the British Parliament... for West Bromwich East. What kind of a name is that for an electorate???? And he wasn't someone they'd just made up for the sake of a silly short film.

He's been in the news a lot lately because of his pursuit of Rupert Murdoch - he's even published a book about the investigation called "Dial M for Murdoch". More power to him, that megalomaniac needs to be taken down.

Tom Watson, it transpires, is also on the twitters and many other social networking sites. I finally followed him on Twitter today (I strongly approve of his politics) and this happened:

TomFuckingWatson

He knows about 5 Second Films! A politician with a sense of humour!

(Here is the tweet in question).

So I've had a random day. Also: Vote 1 Tom Fucking Watson!

Current Mood: hot
Current Music: "Roundabout" - Yes

BTW, as is probably obvious, Amanda is heavy user of Twitter and the internets in general. This is way more interesting than some of my favourite bands who disappear for years at a time, giving no indications to their fans what they are up to or even when they're playing.

For example, one of my favourite bands, Snog, who hail from my home town, have a website that lists their tour dates from 2006 and have never had a mailing list. Even their myspace page hasn't been updated since last year.

Contrast this with Amanda Palmer, who must tweet at least 50 times a day, including pictures like this:

i am ready to face the day are you on Twitpic

She even retweeted me the other day (warning, this tweet contains a picture of my armpit!)

OK, that's enough pathetic fanboy for one day :-)

Current Mood: artistic
Current Music: "Superflous" - bZark
