‘Beautiful People’

With apologies to Jamie who I know wants to know what the hell went on in Turkey (and I will get the right words in the correct order to relate this as soon as I can), today I have to share a mini-anthem I cannot stop listening to.

The video reminds me of a carefree London night in summer, spent skateboarding (badly) up and down a council flat balcony walkway in Candy Street. Oh, how we loved Candy Street, thems were most definitely the last days of my staggered youth.

Forever – Thumbhatman (A video response to Chris Brown)

and hell does Chris Brown need one, badass mutha.

I know I’ll have to leave the music to the kids one day, but I am hanging in there and embarrassing them whilst I can.

I really like this tune, it makes me feel ten years younger and it would be just the kind of thing I would make a trolleyed pilgrimage off to Charlie Chan’s sticky floor in Hoxton to dance to at 2 a.m.  As it is, I would never have had their delicate interpretation of the tune – check out the “Sean Connery Eyebrow”, the “Usain Bolt”, the “Standing Around With Nowt To Do Move” and a whole new take on “Ecstasy”…

Cheesy but cool –  just kids hanging out in the ‘burbs enjoying themselves.  I particularly dig the arthouse shot down the side return with the wheelie bin/trash can, plus cardboard boxes.  And don’t miss the lanky lad killing it on the crazy paving…

*Thumbs up* Thumbhatman.
