Tyurk-cheh

So.

We begin this video sale now. We're in Gothenburg, Sweden. A friend of a friend (who's now our friend) is this guy: David Borkmann. He makes tunes in his spare time from med school. We had some beers a few nights ago with him and naturally ended up getting into a wrestle. While his girth amasses to the two of us combined, we somehow managed to slip him an elbow to the face resulting in an epic nose bleed. So, our debt to him will now be re-paid with this video.

We haven't just been wrestling though. While in Turkey we met a man in a bar who was playing Dallas Green covers. He then played a credible cover of 'Fake Plastic Trees' and we knew we should speak to him. His name is Orkun and we had a รงay with the guy, shared some seesha then realised he was a massive fan of two of our favourite bands: Alexis and Refused. He told us he had some of his own tracks - we told him we had a camera - so we took him out on the street and this is what happened:

Technically I guess this counts as our first video. Or at least 0.5. We now have under a week to write a treatment for David and shoot the video before we fly out to Iceland. So we best stop this procrastination.
The sound isn't great as Orkun didn't have this song recorded yet, so we had to swallow our technical pride and resort to using an in-camera mic.

Bye from the Bearded Maricon and Josh.

A note from Josh:
I must make special mention here to pay my respects to my Peruvian headband that was tragically lost a few nights ago. I have worn that guy literally everyday for an entire year now. My fringe will forever curl in mourning.

A note from Coop:
I resent maricon. May the headband burn in hell.

  1. Gee, your camera is lush, or at least your way with it. Dreamy music.
