EXCLUSIVE: BUBBLEGUN LIVE - STAR WARS EPISODE X

Sanja had warned me that the sound was terrible on this, and while it's not perfect... it's fine enough! It does peak at points, but it's good enough to go up as an episode of Bubblegun.

But get his: before that happens, Upper Tiers Gang gets the full unedited video of the whole darn thing. Thanks once again to David Walford for putting on Chunky Fringe, and to everyone who lent their voice to this.

Stop by the new Paul and Sanja video while you're over there, and give it some lo...

NEW VIDEO: Can You Have a Hollywood Day… in the UK’s Movie Capital?

Afternooooooon! Right. We're experimenting with different YouTube upload days and according to analytics, Monday's as good a day as any.

So here's our new video. I can’t remember if I told you what it was? Basically, we tried to have a “Hollywood-style” day in “Britain’s Hollywood” – Elstree and Borehamwood. If you know the area, you’ll know that’s a challenge. It’s a lot of big, silly, fun. And very geeky.

Bubblegun’s on its way. Sorry it’s a touch late. ...

AN ACTOR'S LIFE IS...

Enough of this ridiculous cat talk!

Well, that’s that thing done. Unfortunately, I didn't record a vlog, because in my early morning brain fog I forgot to take the camera and mic. Sorreeee.

I’m really glad I did it though, and they were nice people, but it’s not for me. It’s strange. I like making things too much. I want to be hands-on. This was more like being a prop.

There was no dialogue; I had to was pretend I was having a nightmare and then wake up screaming. View Post

Chunky Fringe Presents: Digipedia with Chris Bell and Mr Biffo!

Happy Freitag everyone! Paul is away today, and while I am extremely tempted to fill this Patreon post with pictures of cats - I mean, he can't stop me, and won't be able to delete it for several hours yet - I am nevertheless exercising some self restraint and sharing the Digipedia video from Chunky Fringe instead. Enjoy!

P.S. The audio might not be perfect, but hopefully it's still listenable!

WE'RE ZANY TO THE MAX!

Afternoon, you lot.

Alas, the new video isn’t going to be ready before the weekend. Sanja’s only just finished transferring the footage. And also… probably no BYAMPOD this week. Sorry, gang. Something had to give.

Basically, our daughter got home from holiday late last night, so it was a late one for us, and we overslept this morning. I dreamt that Ed Sheeran said we were the only YouTube channel he watches. I don't know why. I don't ever think about Ed Sheeran, but my subco...

FILMING PHOTOS!

So, the next vid kind of builds on one we did a few years ago during covid times (which, alas, not many people watched). But this is quite different. And also: one heck of an ending!

AM I AN ATTENTION-SEEKER NOW?

Thought I’d share this AI mock-up of – allegedly – me, which the marketing company sent over for the R-Type Delta ad thing I’m filming imminently. Let us not use this moment to debate the rights or wrongs of them not hiring a concept artist...

Apparently, I’m also going to be in various stills ads for the game, so you might see my face popping up in unexpected places.

Some years ago, I got asked to be involved in some sort of TV show – I can’t remember what it was no...

BUBBLEGUN EXTRA: KNACKERED CATCH-UP

So! We tried to record a Bubblegun, and you can find the vestigial remnants of it in the first 20 mins or so of this episode... before we realise I'm probably too exhausted to give it the full oomph it needs. And so, it settles down into a cosy, laid-back chat about what we've been watching, our feelings on Chunky Fringe, and what we're up to next...

CHUNKY FRINGED

Well… yesterday was unexpectedly lovely. I mean, it started with me getting a Facebook friend request from Marillion’s guitarist, which was a bit surreal.  

Before I say anything else… a huge, huge shout-out to lovely David Walford. He paid for the entire Chunky Fringe and even supplied free pizza! Though he had help from the likes of Jamie Nemeth, Chris Bell, and everyone who showed up to showcase their tech stuff, it was David who had the idea for this and pulled everything...

CHUNKY FRINGE LIVE STREAM

If you're not coming to Chunky Fringe this afternoon, two things: a) You are foolish, and b) You should be able to watch the live stream at the link below (Bubblegun at 4.30pm with Dan Does, and then me doing Digi stuff at 6pm):

You'll also get to hear an edited, slightly less chaotic, version of Bubblegun next week. It's going to be an utter shit-show (hopefully). View Post

'TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE...

Morning, you lot.

Bong! Tomorrow we hope to see some of you at Chunky Fringe. It’s all much more low-key than a Digi Live, but the weather forecast is looking good, so the carpark will no doubt be employed for socialising! Also: the bar’s open. I’m not driving, so I’m hoping to actually have a drink this time.

Today I’m finishing up our plans for the Bubblegun Live. Even though our episodes are usually completely unstructured and mostly unplanned, we’re not risking tha...

EARLY(ISH) ACCESS: BYAMPOD EP 149

Even if you're not a Marillion fan, it's worth having a listen to this episode to find out why my opinion on AI has changed, why I think we should all be worried about the next few years, and how the way we consume media and entertainment is going to completely transform.

Also: temporary new theme music. Kind of.

BUBBLEGUN EXTRA: ALIEN EARTH FINALE & THE BALLAD OF WALLACE ISLAND

We might be slightly late to the party, but - Spoiler Alert! - we're finally talking about the Alien: Earth - the Season 1 finale. We also recently watched The Ballad Of Wallace Island, which was most excellent. While we were recording this episode, we couldn't remember which short film it was based on, but we can now confirm that it's called: The One and Only Herb...

BREAKING QUIZ NEWS!

GAH! Obviously, we're not doing the quiz tonight, because I got too hyper-focused on finishing all my work instead. Here's some excellent news: I've cleared the decks. Big pressure lifted. I am freeeeee!

MONDAY BLOG: YAWN?

Morning all. Happy Monday. Sorry again about taking a raincheck on the quiz. Sanja had a massive headache, while I was in bed at 5.30pm last night, and woke up at half eight this morning. Hard to explain really, but we just hit a wall at the weekend after heading down to Brighton to see my daughter. We had a nightmare journey home, and the driving took it out of me.  Couldn’t unwind.

It’s a challenge having kids in completely different parts of the country – and now that all...

Gah! Sorry, gang. We're going to have to postpone tonight's quiz. Both Sanja and I are feeling grotty and having talked it through.. neither of us are exactly up to hosting. We'll provisionally pencil in Tuesday evening, but I'll let you know tomorrow how we're feeling.

So sorry again to mess you about - we were really looking forward to it, but we've had a manic month - and we've literally not had a proper weekend off since May. Plus we have Chunky Fringe next weekend that we need ou...

We're taking a breather from F.E.A.R. for a week, given all the heavy subject matter in recent episodes. It wasn't the plan, but this BYAMPOD became about the potential impact of AI on music. Brace yourselves for some VERY different versions of your favourite Marillion songs...

IT'S AN ACTOR'S LIFE FOR ME

Morning, y’all.

Not sure if the Wednesday upload experiment worked, given that we moved from Fridays to avoid clashing with Cheapshow… and then Cheapshow uploaded a new video last night. GAH! There’s no escape. It’s a bloody minefield.

Thursdays it is, I think, from now on.

Anyhow, please go leave a comment and a hype if you haven’t already. We’re currently at number 22 in the UK hype leaderboard, and it really helped with the ghost hunting vid. Given we’re mix...
