After painstakingly digging up songs from the archives, a selection was made and I started mixing them into a narrative. Then I spliced in quotes and snippets from more films and layered the whole thing using lots of delay and reverb effects. The guys at The New Worck were kind enough to premier it on their brand spanking new site. Listen to David toying around with his mic, imagine Dustin being harassed and be reminded that that gum you like is going to come back in style.

When I promised to have a go at the design, it turned out my wisdom tile had actually already been applied to someone else’s skin without me knowing it! They were kind enough to send me the proof:

This doesn’t really need any promotion since it, well, almost sold out in a couple of days; but I love the logo, which is reason enough to post. Looking forward to meeting lots of interesting folks there.
