So as you all know we've been desperately trying to finish our Siren song and have been editing, recording and also shooting video and what not for its imminent release. However we'd never got around to making a video for our song 'Destroy' from our second EP. Something we'd always wanted to do. So during this new burst of energy we've been having we decided to give it a go.
And finally by this afternoon (around 6 o clock) we finally had it - and just had to wait for the stupid download/upload cap on our virgin broadband account to hit the 9pm 'all clear' before we could upload it to youtube (seriously ISPs, some of us actually have to USE our account to, you know, FUNCTION).
So we upload DESTROY to YouTube, and the first thing we do once it's uploaded is go onto Twitter and tell everyone to go check out our 'Destroy' video using this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ks7r1DhnThk .......
...and with that, within seconds, the whole of Twitter IS DESTROYED. Just after @sizemore says 'I likes me a little @georgiawonder' BOOM - TWITTER IS DESTROYED! Sorry FailWhale, I think we blew you out of the water - 'pull your dreams on to a shore where there is no tomorrow?'. Probably. Poor whale.
Here's the video that DESTROYED TWITTER. Sorry for all the hassle, we thought Twitter would be able to cope with the link, but obviously not. Watch the video. We've included the lyrics like karaoke so you can all sing along and relive the demise of Twitter with the sound of your own bellowing and somewhat apocalyptic voice in a kind of 'I'm gonna get Mediaeval on yo' ass kind of way.
WATCH DESTROY ON YOUTUBE IN HD AND FULL SCREEN - MUCH NICER! and leave us some nice comments please - some thumbs up and 'add to faves' wouldn't go amiss either! And please forward this video to people you really don't like. Or want to scare. Thanks.
We've had a frantic weekend shooting the footage for our new 'Siren' video to accompany the song of the same name. Lots of green screen stuff, mucking about with pools of water, sea and surf and trying not to get sand everywhere. Lots of fun but we're pretty tired - now we have to work out what to do with all this stuff!
Here's a few pictures taken from the video camera - these are literally stills taken from different frames of film and are NOT photos as such - pretty good we think considering.
Well we've nearly finished the music and singing to our new song 'Siren' so here's some lyrics to get you in the mood. Of course lots of people have written songs about Sirens as it's a really good thing to write about. However, we don't think anyone's done it the way we have - but you'll have to wait to hear it to know what we mean.
Of course like everything we're recording at the moment this is part of our Made In Nevada project - we've recorded everything on the shop floor of the biggest music store on the south coast of England, Nevada music. Acoustic guitars and twelve strings, huge gibsons that go twang, bass drums and snare drums from a Linn drum, oodles of sounds from Roland and Korg synths and all manner of other things have gone on in that shop to bring this song.
You're going to have to wait a bit longer for it as we have a bit more vocals to do (like some Siren-like wailing) and then the mix, but hey perhaps this'll get you in the mood. Here's the one thing you're going to have to imagine - you can actually dance to this song. So get all those ideas of slow ballads and languid lamenting out of your head - see you on the (rather camp and a bit damp) dance floor. What, Georgia Wonder do disco? Well, a bit.
Siren
Just give in
There's no getting away from me
Such a perfect night
Sail into my light
Take my hand
There's nothing you can say to me
When you hear my voice
Then you have no choice
I cross my heart
I tell no lies
I see your future
In my eyes
I promise you
A love so deep
You hear me calling in your sleep
Who needs to breathe
The air above
When we're both drowning in my love
The tides have turned
Don't be afraid
You're not the only soul I've saved
Come to me
Close your eyes
The tide will bring you here with me
We can be so calm
Sink into my arms
Hold on tight
You only want to be with me
On a broken shore
Now and Evermore
I cross my heart
I tell no lies
I see your future
In my eyes
I promise you
A love so deep
You hear me calling in your sleep
Who needs to breathe
The air above
When we're both drowning in my love
The tides have turned
Don't be afraid
You're not the only soul I've saved
This internet stuff is weird. There's a place called the USA where we've never done a show, yet there's only four states in the USA that this month didn't visit our website - North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont and New Hampshire.
As we've never been to these places we decided to do a bit of research. It turns out that Fargo is in North Dakota, which is one of Julian's favourite films. South Dakota has Mount Rushmore, which featured in another good film 'Team America'. Vermont looks very pretty in autumn (pretty much all the pics we could find were of trees and autumnal stuff) and New Hampshire doesn't look anything like the Hampshire here where we spend a lot of time (including this blog being typed right now). As you can tell our research has been exhaustive.
Any idea why these places don't seem to be visiting our site? Apart from North and South Dakota seeming a bit sparse on humanity in general we can't figure it out. Don't they have broadband? We've seen this pattern before so we were just wondering.
The Californian's seem to like us A LOT, and the Texans, as well as guys from Florida, Pennsylvania and New York state seem to be digging Georgia Wonder. But we only got one click from Idaho. I mean, what is their problem?
Answers on a postcard please. Or just reply below.
Back in October we showed you the ten things that would get you unfollowed by us on Twitter. But times have changed. So here's how we cut down the amount of people we were following on Twitter (again). It should be noted that we accidentally followed quite a lot of people when a website auto-recommended us friends to follow and we forgot to turn it off. Obviously it was deranged and we accidentally followed a slice of the universe we would have been better off ignoring.
1. Unfollow anyone who mentions or re-tweets anything to do with Justin Bieber.
2. Unfollow anyone who actively promotes 'happiness mentality' using words like 'abundance' and ad hoc quotes from religious leaders.
3. Unfollow anyone who uses txt speak or 'street' slang yet still manages to say less in 140 characters than even the most verbose idiot.
4. Unfollow anyone who 'gives a shout out' to all their Twitter 'peeps'.
5. Unfollow anyone who keeps thanking God for absolutely everything in every other tweet.
6. Unfollow anyone who auto-posts anything like 'Someone unfollowed me and I know who it is using website x'.
7. Unfollow anyone whose profile pic is Justin Bieber.
8. Unfollow anyone who looks like they might actually like Justin Bieber.
9. Unfollow anyone who looks a bit like Justin Bieber.
10. Unfollow anyone who uses the letter J or B in a tweet.
Using these tactics we were able to cull the amount of people we were following down to about 4.
