Clearly the lion's share should go to Beckett for writing a script that was clearly a forrunner of the modern music video. Always thought that Not I would make a good music video with someone singing, of course, rather than the rapid word fire of the original. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8C4HL2LyWU&feature=related Anyway, great story Hahaha, brilliant, a visual chinese whispers although with the elements remaining the same.

I shot it on one roll of colour 16 mm film. It was broadcast by No Disco at the time. The band got picked up by a bigger label and the label liked the video - not knowing anything about its origin - and then hired a hot shot london director who proceeded to remake said video. He remade it from my template - not knowing anything about the origin of it. It was some laugh seeing the bastardised version that emerged at the end of the process. Made up somewhat for the annoyance of some guy getting paid mucho to cog an Idea I'd originally cogged! Neither version has been 'tubed unfortuanately. http://www.discogs.com/artist/Bawl I once in mid 90’s- under some serious time pressure - cogged the script for ‘Film’ - and used it for a music video by a Dublin Band called BAWL for a song called Glen Campbell Nights.

Dean Baker is of course more familiar to me than Dave Barker but thanks for pointing out the error. Class in Ireland, An Immodest Proposal is all Conor's work. For further distraction you should check out his longer piece in the Irish Left Review from 2008. http://www.irishleftreview.org/2008/02/21/michael-zweig-class-consumerism-ireland/ Hehehe, yeah, Freudian slip.

Dave Barker? Freudian slip? I just read your post Class in Ireland, An Immodest Proposal, from Sept 2007, and found it very. interesting. indeed. This site will provide quite the ongoing distraction from my academic duties. Thanks! Dean Baker? Dave Barker? Freudian slip?
