Since I doubt we will actually see a commercial from EMI or anyone else in the Scritti Politti camp, I thought I would make one of my own. I borrowed the video from a recognized beverage company. You know what Picasso said, good artists copy, great artists steal. :D

Interesting that I used Pepsi ads during the A+B phase (with the bottle cap metaphor and White Bread Black Beer I toyed around with Guiness, they are all drink metaphors. This one is vodka clear! I hope you enjoy the clip. –John

Green plays live with Hot Chip on BBCsessions. http://hotchip.co.uk/?p=275

Had a listen to the Jo Whiley segment – seems to have taken her by surprise that Green was there. Can pick him up singing a bit, and think he must be playing the guitar, on the She Wolf cover.
Though perhaps Hot Chip hinted Green may be at Glastonbury with them, but either I or Jo got the wrong end of the stick as she took it as a leaning towards collaborating with Shakira.
Did anything come of the Green/Alex stuff?
Could this lead to Scritti opening for Hot Chip on tour to promote the ‘Best Of’?

Will make a post of this tonight, still at work here and i don’t have my login details. More articles on the She wolf cover:

I saw one of the gigs Alexis & Green did when they were working on stuff for Alexis’ solo album. I believe the tracks didn’t get finished in time for the album’s release, but that they may surface at some point in the future. Hope so ‘cos they were sounding good.

Joel 04.16.10 / 9pm

Bit late notice guys but the Nick Drake tribute at the Barbican is on at 9.00pm on BBC 4, you should be able to catch it on BBC iplayer though!!

Nemorino 04.18.10 / 5pm

Yay – thanks for the heads up Joel – I missed the show at Barbican because of work, gnash gnash.

Antonino 12.25.10 / 5am

Still no news on the Scritti ‘best of’ package ‘Absolute’, eh? If it’s available, I want.
