A Venezia Mix

Last of these for a while.

The songs and the art of this mix have a mystery connection.

I'll send a drawing to anyone who guesses what it is. If no one

gets it I'll keep the drawing and rip it up, (with mascara

running down my cheeks).

Ones that got away #5

Old pitch I made for a Supergrass video that never happened.

For some reason I made the pitch as a comic. Looking back,

this was no great loss.

Old pitch I made for a U2 video that... ok you get the idea.

I keep meaning to make this idea into a comic. In other

words, it will NEVER happen.

Gideon Baws Memorial Fund

On October 11th 2008 we were robbed of Shynola director, brilliant

friend, and damn-good-egg, Gideon Baws.

Gid's sudden death was due to a form of Cardiomyopathy, triggered by

a viral infection. Chances are you've never heard of it. However in the

UK alone it is estimated that 12 "apparently fit and healthy" young

people under 35 die from undiagnosed heart problems EVERY WEEK.

This needn't be so.

A Gideon Baws Memorial Fund has been established at CRY (Cardiac

Risk in the Young). CRY works to raise awareness of Sudden Death

Syndrome (SDS) and campaigns for proactive screening of young

people. It also offers help and support to those who have suffered a loss.

On October 11th 2009 "Team GB" will run The Royal Parks Half

Marathon in Hyde Park, London. We are raising money for the

Memorial Fund.

Please, if you can, sponsor us and help prevent these unnecessary and

unfair deaths.

Team GB are:

Nick Goldsmith (Hammer & Tongs)

Richard Kenworthy (Shynola) &

Barney Newman (Pixipixel)

SPONSOR US HERE

(don't just sit there and make out that you'll 'do it later')

Thank you,

Team GB
