So Cold The Freak (Communards vs LFO) by Fudge Tools (10000 Spoons) from Tim Baker on Vimeo.

OK so I was bored…and part of what happens when I’m bored I create mashup videos for lonely or new mashups that really need them cos they are the best mashups EVAH (it’s an ongoing project). I’d just gotten the video for ‘Freak’ by L.F.O. so *ding* lightbulb moment decided to create a quick video for one of my favourite mashups OF ALL TIME – So Cold The Freak (The Communards ‘So Cold the Night’ vs L.F.O. ‘Freak’) by Fudge Tools, which we all now know is 10000 Spoons (well you do now – but he ‘fessed up officially when GYBO went all swanky).

The video for ‘Freak’ is very odd, same territory as Cunningham and the Come on My Selector video – scary Japanese school children getting their freak on, originally to Leed’s finest but now with added Glaswegian camp as well. It works spookily well with The Communards in fact. Will also be on MutantPop TV shortly.

Also available on YouTube, dunno for how long for, seems like a roulette wheel nowadays:

New addition to MutantPopTV is a video for 10000 Spoons’ great ‘Astley Gone to Heaven’ mixing Pixies ‘Monkey Gone To Heaven’ with Rick Astley’s ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’ – part of his brilliant ‘Boot Up The Eighties’ mix – highly recommended – and I asked if I could do a video and he kindly sent me the full version.

Took bleeding ages to match the fuzzy arty B&W footage with the Astley video, but I think it was worth it Let me know if anyone wants the full downloadable 640×480 H264 MOV to play out, etc.

(Only posted on YouTube until my Vimeo account has space and before it inevitably gets pulled or something…get it while it’s hot! Or alternatively watch it as part of MutantPopTV below!)

More videos here at MutantPopTV – and I’ve just added a high-quality version of White Witch Dub video – previous versions were 320×240 only.
