More films on Vimeo, unrestricted by anti-creator copyright rules.

Some of the record labels that razrez has created music videos for decided (with YouTube's encouragement) that I shouldn’t be allowed to show them on this channel — even though we bent over backwards to give them the moon on a stick for little more than a bag of peanuts.

It was this kind of ungrateful arrogance that made me give up the game of promoting super-egos. I only did it as a way of making films in a world where money for anything “risky” or non-formulaic is increasingly hard to come by.

Honourable exceptions include Jason White & his bands (Too Pure / 4AD) who just got it. “Don’t worry,” he said, “I know what it’s like. Pull on one thread and the whole thing starts to unravel.” Exactly! If only there were more like Jason.

But music is deep in my soul and I'll never say never. If I hear some rare birds with the power to make me stop in my tracks and forget what I was doing, I might give it another shot.
