Authors Note:
This stop motion film is meant to capture my process of setting up and printing with letterpress. I chose this form because I wanted the object to speak for itself, or rather, speak for me as I have given it the language. Though this is a short video it took me about 2 hours to complete.
This was during one of the many studio sessions I had, I was experimenting with my voice which is why I sound so weird. But, watching this was actually an interesting experience for me because I had never seen my facial expressions during recordings. Take note of the slight smile that I have right after i’m done recording.
How many ways to get what you want
I use the best I use the rest
I use the NME.
I use anarchy
‘Cause I wanna be anarchy,
It’s the only way to be
Is this the MPLA
Or is this the UDA
Or is this the IRA
I thought it was the UK
Or just another country
Another council tenancy.
I wanna be an anarchist
(Oh what a name)
And I wanna be an anarchist
(I get pissed destroy)
The Specials – Ghost Town
This town, is coming like a ghost town
All the clubs have been closed down
This place, is coming like a ghost town
Bands won’t play no more
too much fighting on the dance floor
Do you remember the good old days before the ghost town?
We danced and sang, and the music played in a de boomtown
This town, is coming like a ghost town
Why must the youth fight against themselves?
Government leaving the youth on the shelf
This place, is coming like a ghost town
No job to be found in this country
Can’t go on no more
The people getting angry
This town, is coming like a ghost town
This town, is coming like a ghost town
This town, is coming like a ghost town
This town, is coming like a ghost town
Interview, Sex Pistols
The reason why this is so significant is because, at this time in the U.K. the media was regulated to the point where cursing wasn’t allowed at all on the television. This is one of the reasons why the Sex Pistols were banned and had a warning label slapped on them.
