Television seeks viewer



Songs which fit the Nilpferd relationship to TV.. we hardly ever watch it, so our only connection is through memories of old programs we saw as children..

The Headless Chickens with that feeling you get in your dreams.. orchestral pop from one of the more influential flying nun groups of the nineties..

Shane Carter of Bored Games remembers being in awe of Joe 90.. joyous post-punk from down under..

Coldcut with Jello Biafra, for Shoegazer, followed by Pressure Drop's Unity, to get the ending of the track, as it's off a remix cd, Coldcut's Journeys by DJ..


Bored Games- Joe 90


Coldcut with Jello Biafra- A message from our sponsor


Pressure Drop- Unity

Finishing up with the aural equivalent of a test pattern, perhaps.. the gentle ironic jazz of Skalpel's Sculpture, with a fine video featuring a TV..

Jello's back, and he brought Coldcut with him. Thanks, Nilpferd.

The Joe 90 reminded me of Captain Scarlet that reminded me I forgot to nominate Mysterons by Portishead.

You're welcome, Shoey.. Mysterons in turn reminded me to add some mysterious Ninja Tunes electronic jazz, Skalpel's Sculpture.. not really about TV, but one features in the vid..

I remember Bored games for the brake going into hand claps near the end -perfect.

Coldcut is absolute class as ever t'was a special release.

Cheers shane- glad the cd arrived, I did miss your comment on RR, have also been facing totally unreasonable demands to work from fools recently.. looking forward to yours, no hurry though as I've got plenty of other things I ought to be doing...
