where is the music from the two videos from? Are they available anywhere else? I've never heard them before :)

fuckyeahtommilsom Said:

As far as I know they had never been released on anything before, made in 2009, but just got uploaded today. Weren’t they cool?

There is one other project - The Stalk EP - Tom did with Playing Possum and bornrosca/wannabewarhol around that same time period, but Tom was billed as Tommy Firefly in it.

What/Who was Tommy Firefly?

tommilsom:

If you really want to support good music you should spend that £7.90 on a Max Tundra album

He fucking slaves at what he does and makes excellent music and is basically penniless because he doesn’t rely on tricks or special days to sell his art

That’s why I’m angry… because the very thing Alex is pretending to rail against is exactly what he’s doing. He’s not ‘challenging the major labels’. He’s doing exactly what they’re doing! Support real independent music. Buy a Max Tundra album. You won’t regret it.

where do we go to buy/listen to that?

iTunes! or search for him on youtube ! Also he has a myspace! All the usual places!

Do you have any suggestions on which of his albums to start off with? Thanks for the tip, always nice to get into some new music!

YES the one that’s easiest to get into is Parallax Error Beheads You but I love Some Best Friend You Turned Out To Be which is way more experimental and electronic and Mastered By Guy At The Exchange which is I guess the perfect balance between the pop stuff and the experimental electronic stuff and my personal fave.

tommilsom:

it’s just

there are so many genuinely good artists with a major record label

what sort of person feels they need to shit all over those people so they can get their own success

why be so vicious and unpleasant just so you can shoehorn yourself into the charts

I don’t particularly care about chart positions but I like to think that if I ever got one it wouldn’t be because I had to vilify a whole group of people to get there

And if I did, it wouldn’t mean anywhere near as much as an organically achieved chart placement

tommilsom:

people are all like ‘don’t you remember tommy firefly’

the reason that failed is because I realised that in order for it to succeed I’d basically have to push as hard as Alex has been pushing, and I didn’t feel comfortable doing that

Tom was talking about how alex is going about lady godiva on twitter. Links added by me.

I went to watch the original version of this and it was privated. So here’s the other one.

Tom’s instrumentation on two songs :) See if you can find the ONE little spot that actually has any visible footage of Tom.

The Prettiest Star - Tommy Firefly
Posted February 2009.

“Just a quick little experiment I’m doing, under the name Tommy Firefly, to see whether I can get a song to number one in the UK. Used to be people would have one massive hit and then fade into obscurity. These days it’s all about lasting factor and five year contracts and all that nonsense - so let’s see if we can’t get Tommy Firefly a good old fashioned hit! :D This song will be available on iTunes from Wednesday April 1st - and I implore you to buy it then! That way it won’t show up in the midweeks and we can play an april fool’s joke on the chart listings peeps who will suddenly have a meteoric rise to success in a day. Welcome to the power of the internet people - let’s harness it! Tom”

From DB: I’m halfway through writing out all the envelopes to people who wanted fireflyers. So many addresses :(
At least I have Boards of Canada keeping me occupied, which is GEWD. What are you listening to, dailybooth? Show me CD cases!

The flyer.

Thank you,Thank YOU! I didn’t send for these at the time because I am:

A. In America
B. Knew I’d just keep them and not use them for their original intent.
C. Weren’t sure how many there were and didn’t want to prevent someone else who could use them for that intent from having them.
