The Mark of Cain
The Mark of Cain is a hard band from Australia. I used to go and see them play in the early nineties when they came to Sydney from Adelaide. It was not an experience for the faint hearted. The Mark of Gain where like a brutal rhythmic machine that dealt out poetry to those who have been left behind in the great postmodern society of dreams and disasters. Music to stare across a room of blank eyed drinkers in a dark hotel by with minutes to closing time and nowhere to go. The beauty of pain. The Mark of Cain.

Being Human
A high point in television as far as I am concerned. This is the final episode in the first series of Being Human. A poetic work of urban horror.
Being Human is a British television supernatural drama-comedy series, broadcast on BBC Three. It stars Lenora Crichlow, Russell Tovey and Aidan Turner as three apparent twenty-something characters sharing a house in Bristol, trying to live a normal social life, despite being a ghost, a werewolf and a vampire. It is one of the most popular shows on BBC’s iPlayer and the creator Toby Whithouse has said he is thrilled that the BBC has decided to commission a second series
Prepare to be Disturbed
"Deep in the forest lived Billy and his charming companions. They peacefully honed their bodies and listened to music there. But a wave of development came upon the forests. One who would turn all to road. Kagamine Rin had come. Billy must stop the construction before all is turned to road."
I stumbled on this today via William Gibson's Twitter feed (well worth the time) and I must admit it is one of the most unusual videos I have seen on the web lately. Surrealism is alive and well. Some analysis is provided here, with references to the remix combination of characters and the audio. However, they miss the reference to the Tellytubbies with the baby face in the sky at the end.
