Also, thanks to Tom from www.youtube.com/studentbreakfast for helping me edit and colour correct this beast. Tom PS: Lyrics? Oh, go on then. There's a girl there on the dancefloor And I don't know how to greet her Now heterosexuality's Not my defining feature They said skinny jeans and cardigans Were the only way to go But it seems that Oxfam employees Are not the ones who know just how it works Give me a minute While I fiddle with my hair Cause you keep telling me that it looks fine But I'm the one who cares About a good impression being made Cause I'm the one who might get laid Don't tell me how the game is played Don't tell me how the game is played And I don't want to talk to her and take her hand In case she tells me her favourite band is not my favourite band How would I know which drink she'd want me to buy When do I look her in the eye When did the indie music scene become so over-fussed With social inadequacy being such a must Dont' knock me to the ground If I'm already falling It'll only make things worse you know I always knew my calling was the stage This evening's filling me with rage I only wish I had some sage advice to give me The indie handbook volume three would read Show girls you fancy them By getting with their boyfriends Replace your party loving mates With awkward, greasy, coy friends Who like listening to Sonic Youth You always must appear aloof Remember no amount of faking Will make your indie band groundbreaking Don't think you're special or much less of a disgrace Just because you've got yourself a lady who plays bass Don't bother finding somebody to play descant recorder Yeah that won't put you back in working order You haven't got a different sound You aren't part of the underground You haven't been together long So try to write some bloody decent songs The girl's outside now Talking to a taxi driver If she were coming home with me It'd only cost a fiver to my door I'd talk to her but I am sure She must've heard it all before from guys Oh I could cry That's probably the reason why She's dressed just like a lesbian I hear it's quite a craze You can hardly move in pubs For all the lesbians these days But it hardly matters if she's gay It's time to move on anyway I'll see you guys here half past ten Tomorrow evening, do it all again

GIG DETAILS: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0bHQuVx4GY A song off my new album, Painfully Mainstream. Too right. Pre-order it here: http://dftba.com/pm And you should probably check out and sub to: http://youtube.com/eddplant http://youtube.com/nerimon

PRE-ORDER THIS ALBUM HERE: http://dftba.com/pm Not sure? Check out this other number from the same album: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPd8mHXap_U If you can, put on some headphones, turn this up loud, and let it run its course. The video itself was assembled from four days of footage, and is more an ambient accompaniment to the song more than anything else. Think of it at ten Levi Beamish videos in a row. xxx

Completely re-recorded and made specially beautiful for its inclusion in my new album Painfully Mainstream, which will be out on December 1st! SO MUCH EXCITEMENT!!! As if that wasn't enough, LYRICS: If I mattered to you Then all I would see is indigo Nothing else I could do Could ever make you more dear to me and so Every green every blue Every red orange and ultramarine I've seen Would go indigo for you Every time that I look Deep inside me the colour's all I see And my mind is a book Rainbow painted a story about me Photographs that I took That were once black and white would now be free To be In shades of indigo for you Orange, yellow, green and malachite Octarine, light plum and eggshell white International Klein Blue, maroon Azure, magenta, midnight blue Harlequin and helitrope, Tea, tan, turquoise, teal and taupe Amaranth and Ivory Cosmic latte, tangerine If I mattered to you Then all I would see is indigo Nothing else I could do Could ever make you more dear to me and so Every green every blue Every pink, black, white, grey, yellow, mauve and cerise Beige and ultramarine I've seen Would go indigo for you

A collection of thoughts and experiments that I thought I'd put out there. Please do start a discussion about this, I'm sure whatever happens it'll be fascinating. Thanks to Peej and Alan for waiting for an hour while skype transferred this video to them then watching it and telling me it was good enough to upload: http://www.youtube.com/kickthepj http://www.youtube.com/fallofautumndistro And thanks to Mike for reading the script and making some minor changes with me: http://www.youtube.com/mickeleh And thanks to Hank for nagging me to make this video and having wonderful late night conversations with me about this stuff (and having another one tonight which almost inevitably has led to a sequel forming in my mind): http://www.youtube.com/theecogeek http://www.youtube.com/vlogbrothers And thanks to Charlie for helping me export it from Final Cut Pro over the phone at half past midnight: http://www.youtube.com/charlieissocoollike GOD I AM SO DEPENDENT http://www.tommilsom.com

A short film about aliens, written and painstakingly drawn by a progressively more frustrated me over a three day period. I do hope you like it. It was uploaded for me by the lovely kickthepj, who you should vote for in a competition he's doing HERE: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-X6vtopir4&feature=video_response Go! Go! Click! Vote! Help him win! The soundtrack was all me as well, if you're reading this YouTube Ad Revenue people. I think I was a bit too vague in my description I sent you, but everything you see and hear here was done by me. www.tommilsom.com tommilsom.bigcartel.com myspace.com/tomandhisuke

Ideas STILL WELCOME at: usachordal@googlemail.com LIRRIX: I've been looking at videos to see what gets you going, And it seems I get more views with the beats that I'm throwin' Than if I talk straight, yeah, vloggin' is old Cause it's the rhythm and the music that makes YouTube Gold I don't know what I'm doing, what's this beat that I'm creating, I'm a whole lot better at self-deprecating, But I'm tellin' you now, this shit is so hot, If you put in your coffee it'd melt your pot. I know that Bo's the go to guy for rhymes And I haven't got the time to rhyme as sublime As he can do, but I can give it a go, And so I'll steal his chord sequence and get my casio It's the mean machine for clean beats and dreams, To put rhymes over the casiochord routines, It's got some built in beats, bass and tambourines, It can samba like a samba-ing machine. Now there are a few things that I wanted to say So I thought I'd put them down to a rhythm today, To save you from being too bored or tired So by the end of my song you wouldn't have expired. Once this song is over click the link at the side, Cause you will find that I have taken the time and tried To make my site better for you there's a shop now, To find it click the link that's at the top now. You can buy my CD, get some mp3s, Get my comic book Amateur lovemaking Monthly, It's a great book full of great graphic fiction, Buy one copy or a yearly subscription. And there's awkward ballads for the easily pleased, It's my debut album and you can buy CDs, My next one won't be out for a while, But this one's guaranteed to make you smile. Hey something else that I almost forgot, But not, this is planned. It's exciting news, guess what! I'm coming to america to see you guys Who reside stateside it's not implied, it's definite. Check the sidebar for a link to my page Where I've written all the dates for the places I'll be visiting, Is it in Seattle, San Francisco, LA? I'll be playing all these places in the next few days. That's all there is for me to say Hello to Portland, Seattle, San Fran, LA, I will see you soon, guys, don't you panic It'll be like I'm an iceberg and you're all the titanic. I'm gonna say goodbye now, gonna bid you adieu, I've got better things to do, if it's all the same to you, So I'll put a little ending on this diatribe, By telling all of you to comment rate and subscribe. PEACE, NIGGAZ *lessthanthree*

I really don't know about this. I suppose it's entertaining in a way, but I'm more amazed it's taken me this long to realise how retarded I look when I sing. My album's still on sale, for all those who are interested: http://www.tommilsom.com/music/awkwardballads http://www.myspace.com/tomandhisuke

In this song the twangy keyboard instrument you can hear is a clavinova. Lovely, isn't it? I had to pre-record me playing that, then playing the uke, then singing, so this is quite clearly a lip-sync, as you will find is the case with any music video out there. :) MYSPACK: http://www.myspace.com/tomandhisuke And please BUY THE ALBUM THIS SONG IS ON, my debut album, Awkward Ballads for the Easily-Pleased, which can be found HERE: http://tommilsom.bigcartel.com/ And apparently I'm now on iTunes, although the internet's bloody died on me, so I can only just about post and tell you that apparently I'm on iTunes. Go on, go! Buy! Lyrics: Please please don't go, Please, please please don't go Circumflex underscore circumflex I love you so. Please don't block me, Please don't go offline. I wanna be with you all the time. BRB, OMG, LOL. ROFLMAO. BRB, OMG, LOL ROFLMAO. We'll pour our hearts out on the screen One line at a time And I'll try to figure how to Make you mine, So please, please, please don't go, Please, please don't go, Though it's close to midnight And the conversation's getting slow, No don't invite your friends I don't want this moment here to end. BRB, OMG, LOL, ROFLMAO. ----- Here was where the free mp3 was, but it was RAPING MY BANDWIDTH WITH A RUSTY FORK so I've taken it down for now. It'll be purchaseable in a couple of hours though hopefully, and then people will limewire it or whatever. ----- What else? Oh yeah, my webcomic might be worth a look. It's about a leopard. It's amazing. www.awesomeopard.com
