Hey, he was on TV here (NL) last week or so. Neat stuff.

Cool, and i like the music except it is eerily reminiscent of the circus music that springs to mind when people talk about sex with jonmc.

Thank you, ericb. That's a great video and the music complements it perfectly. The song is "Mr Soft" by Cockney Rebel.

If you get the chance to see the Strandbeest live, then please go. They are amazing.

Now that can't be right. I just checked my posting history, I started posting on June 23rd. Why did I think that was the first post I ever saw? DRAT, but it is the first one I remember. Double drat, I was so sure, now I am confounded!
