I wish all TV was like this

Beautiful and spooky. Perfect.

I will die a happy man

Seriously. I have been trying for over a year to talk live to Archbishop Gilbert Deya on my favourite crazy channel, Deya Broadcasting Network (DBN). And not only did I talk to him, I sang to him.

If you remember, I’ve written and blogged about DBN quite a bit in the past. Anyway, here is the result. (Gilbert D is on the left).

I just love it when Deya blatantly signals for them to end the call. And they just keep me on. Everyone seemed happy in the end, though. Probably me the most.

‘Tangerinegate’

by Robert Popper on February 27, 2010 · Comments

Can you believe what our Prime Minister did with a tangerine?

But can you believe that my phone call ended up in the Financial Times? And on the BBC show The Bubble (14 mins 15 secs in to be precise). And The Telegraph and The Sun. And animated by a Hong Kong news channel…

Always believe the news.

PS – Sorry, Mr B.
PPS – Props to the FT for smelling a (citric) rat!
PPS – Oh, and here’e the wiki page.

OK…time for some proper music

I actually genuinely love this. It’s just perfect.

Wows to @xxinfectedgirlx

Two phone calls that didn’t go so well

First of all, foreign language channel, Venus TV. Look out for his sigh at the end of our chat…

And then, Babestation. Don’t think she liked me very much.

Ho hum!

I just had to post this…

Suzi Cramp is Lori Watt’s sometime musical collaborator. I present ‘Lingering’…

Best bit? Between 2:59 and 3:00. Wow!

Another track by me and Justin Spooner

You may have heard an earlier version of this, but the brilliant Justin Spooner and I have reworked this rather sunny, acousticy thing.

Apple Tree by Robert Popper and Justin Spooner

Hope it makes you smile, or at least, reach for an apple.

Justin is such a talented musician and producer. I so want to see his amazing album, Everyday The Same, Everyday Different, commercially released one day. Check it out here. It’s so beautiful.

And then say hi to him on twitter. Go on! In fact, tweet him the words: ‘Bananas on ice’.

PS – Here’s our track from the other day.

Could this be the new ‘Pardon Me?’

Ladies and gentlemen, I present… Chill in my Veins by Lori Watt:

My fave bit is when the singer suddenly appears holding hands with the mysterious older lady. What’s yours?

Well done to the brill @moogyboobles for locating this item of gloriousness.

If you ever forget the words…

Just do this…

How lovely is this clip? I mean, really?!

I want to buy this machine right now

by Robert Popper on February 22, 2010 · Comments

But only if it comes with the man.

Also, the man seems to get younger as the film goes on. That really is some machine.

Thanks to @laura_hyde. Your aura is strong.
