An Interview With jadelr and Cristina Cordova
An interview with Chasing Windmills.
What probably started as a bit of a gag, has turned into a wonderful left wing institution, or at least should do. Drinking with Bob is a daily rant about (mostly American) stupidity, as a videoblog. But recently the topics have been turning to what the U.S. refers to as liberal or progessive issues, and critiques of popular media, a perfect mix. The one that triggered me to post this, is about Exxon turning a US$37 billion profit for the year. That’s just plain fucked.
Not a stray, but a cat I found out the back of my place the other day. He had a fake diamond studded collar which I found out during the shoot said “Sigmund”. So Sigmund it is. See if you can spot the videoblogging theory in this post.
Shoot video, put it online, hope people watch. If it weren’t about the audience, it wouldn’t be on the web. It’s not about the media, it’s about the me, duh. If we change the world at the same time, then that’s an added bonus. Causality. Deal with it.
I rarely shoot me, for me, but this is my 150th video, so please excuse me while I indulge myself with my first 99 or so videos.
The song “One day” is by The Jones’, a Canberra band from 1984. I think I have one of only 20 copies of their EP, which I ripped from vinyl a few years back. Not one of the better songs on the EP, but appropriate. Saw them live a couple of times, when they travelled up to Sydney. Another great record, lost in time.
One day, everybody will be happy… believe me…
