Almost a little bit country, but I love the Irish (even though she is from Scotland) twang in her voice. Amy Macdonald This Is The Life:

And with that, we’re out of here for a week - off to old Blighty to suffer the pain of a worthless US dollar.

Since buying the Flip I’ve posted some puppet videos, some MINI videos, and a flying video but from now on they will only appear on the appropriate site, and there maybe some videos that I put only on Viddler. So if you want to keep up with my mad directorial skillz you should either:

1. Sign up for your own account at Viddler.com, add me (ukpylot) as a friend and set your preferences such that you are emailed when I upload something new
2. Or, if you want to keep under the radar, you could add my video feed to your favourite RSS reader: my video feed

Now, I can’t say there’s going to be anything great but wouldn’t you kick yourself if there was, and you missed it??

I just posted a new video on my Viddler page, this time some clips of a flight I took last night from San Diego to Imperial and Brawley airports. There’s more of a narrative at the post there, but since I know many of you don’t read it I thought I’d also post the video here in case you wanted to see it.

The mount that I bought for this flight was too big for the dashboard so I had to hold the Flip in my hand, so there are no takeoffs or landings - need two hands for that! It’s a bit shakey, and the propeller looks really spooky in the shots, but it’s a new video so what the heck! I’ll try for a better solution next time.

Except it’s Thursday and I’m too sick to make my own puppet theater this week. Yesterday was the Brit Awards, the UK’s premier pop music award show (and since UK pop is the world’s best, make that the world’s premier pop music award show) and I’ve spent some time digging out clips from YouTube. I am sure these will all soon be deleted due to their undeniable copyright infringement so get them while you can.

I love this one: The Klaxxons and Rhinna do “Umbrella”, cool lasers too.

Mark Ronson won Best Male award or something, despite the fact that he doesn’t do his own stuff:

And in case you didn’t get enough Amy, here she is solo. I love her to death but when she sings live it’s like she sings her own random timing and the band has to be adept at changing tempo to match her. And in both this performance, and the one above, she seems obsessed with the length of her skirt.

Finally, you might be saying “what about Kylie?”. Yeah, she won International artist and performed but frankly she looked horrid and it’s a terrible song (if you can call it that) so I’d rather we just moved along….

I swear, it was just an ordinary evening; no one saw this coming.
