… The Moment.

Posted on by

There are four things to annouce. The first thing is FOLLOW THE CHICKEN. I did. I signed off LinkedIn. After all I don’t need to look for a job seeing as I have accepted a continuing contract* with The College of Fine Arts, UNSW.

Now there are three things. Two will be announced tonight, and I will report them here!

7.30PM We are live! Adelaide** Friggin’ Festival Launch.

Severed Heads and Atom™ live 13th March 2013

Hauntology House. A computer game / music album by Tom Ellard, on abc.net.au
http://www.adelaidefestival.com.au/2013/online/hauntology_house

Also on: Unsound Festival Adelaide, Laurie Anderson & Kronos Quartet, an orchestra playing along with a brand new print of 2001: A Space Odyssey, some weird remanipulation of Lem’s Solaris … lots of good shit. Turner’s paintings coming down from the Tate Gallery. Womadelaide as per usual.

The fourth thing … is something you’ll have to hold off from just yet…

* A bit different to ‘tenure’, it means continuing employment but without some of the protections that tenure offers. It’s a massive step and doesn’t come lightly!

**Under the terms of our agreement with Mr. Gary Numan, Adelaide must be the last show. And it still is.

Piss off.

    • 1. Get the press release from the festival.
      2. Delete ATOM.
      3. Note that it now says “Australia and Germany”. What does it mean? Edit it to say “Australian-German”. Done!
      4. Pull your wages from Fairfax Press.

      Obviously poor Uwe got snipped off the press kit. We are not impressed.

    • I explained all that.

      We are honestly trying to wind this thing down, and we thought having Gary Numan sign on it would help (make it funnier). But there is always some good reason for another reminder. The reason this time is to convince Adelaide to take a risk on the computer game. “Sure, but only if you perform Goodbye Tonsils on the internet’. DO YOU SAY NO? Fucked if I know.

      For the record, we turned it down last year. We turn down almost everything.
