Embrace The Singularity

Joey writes, concerningthe video above:

There’s this spanish rave/dance trupoe called Crystal Fighters new video, I’ve seen ‘em live there pretty good.

I saw their new video on some blog or other, I watched it.

I saw someone wearing a mask similar to the one we found on the train tracks. really similar. no wait. I’m pretty sure it’s the same fucking mask.

That’s weird… The video was obviously shot in hackney wick.

what do you guys think?

Hmm! I concur. IT’s THE SAME FUCKING MASK! Check it out:

See?! A HA HA HA! WE GOT YOUR MASK CRYSTAL FIGHTERS! AHAHAHAHA!

So. Yeah. There you go. Over and out – I am too full of work and hangover to communicate properly. i read for a part in a new TV show yesterday and they plied me with comic books and wine. Swine!

Speaking of comcis, it seems that I am not the only human that thinks Ultimates 3 is the worst comic book ever written. Blimey!

Oh, and props to all you guys for suddenly deciding to post my STEAM video last night. Do you all read The Bad Librarian? Cos he’s the only one I sent it to. Daps all around!

    You’re far from the only person who hates Ultimates 3- it’s a shambolic waste of the title’s name. “the worst comic book ever written” may be a stretch though

      I honestly can't think of one worse. Maybe Ultimatum…

        Honest To God, how can it be worse than Ultimatum. Ultimatum is just Jeph Loeb doing all the fights he wants to see and dicking around with the Ultimate universe.

        He is wanking his artistic mind!

        How about all of the Liefield Young Blood stuff?

    What a scenario!

    The video wasn’t actually shot in Hackney Wick, but Bermondsey. The mask was made for us, fittingly for this hypermodern east end tale, by Will from Chew Lips’s girlfriend Georgie who we met on the day of the shoot.

    A few days later, I had the mask in a poorly-packed backpack full of leads as I trudged towards Hackney Wick (where we live) to catch a train to play a show at The Great Escape in Brighton where I was intending to wear the mask onstage. I saw a train pulling into the platform and ran to catch it, as you do, but as the doors were closing behind me I realised that the bag had come open and the mask had fallen out somewhere along the way. Little did I know it had literally just eluded me down onto the tracks as brilliantly depicted in your video. I thought it was gone forever and am delighted it has been found. This may be too much to ask, but is there any way we could get it back from you? Do you live/work in Hackney Wick? Perhaps I could swap it for something? Come round for a cup of tea! crystalfighters at googlemail.com
    Much love,
    Sebastian

    "Do you all read The Bad Librarian?"

    First time I've seen the blog (but I'm following it now). Looks like I and musicu.be picked it up via Bleeding Cool, following Rich Johnston over to his next gig after a good stint on Comic Book Resources. I don't know where he got it from, Twitter perhaps?.

    Keep up the good work.

    Film that handover.

    pan mask should never be given back, the power of it is too strong…

  • http://thesvenhunter.blogspot.com thesvenhunter

    I fear it is a mask with 'wild' powers – I wore a similar mask at Stoke Newington festival 2 years back and got blind drunk and locked us out the house. There were witnesses.

    Wow. This is either some supernatural force bringing the two of you together, or a terrifying glimpse of the mutual surveillance that will blight the rest of our lives. Either way, it calls for some Spanish rave/quasi-Welsh rap to commemorate it.
