1209: Ant Muzak

Some of you were curious about the clip in the previous entry. It's a short, 10-minute film called Ant Muzak.

That was Mackenzie Crook -- of The Office fame -- as Gary Tibbs, by the way.* Looking at IMDb, I'm kind of surprised that people didn't seem to recognize the other band shopping in the store -- it's Sigue Sigue Sputnik!

On Sunday night, Pete and I went to get some ice cream. I managed, as usual, to turn the conversation to my favorite subject... the Eighties. (Serial killers are a close 2nd.) We were discussing Bow Wow Wow, which naturally led to my favorite sub-category within my favorite subject: Adam Ant. Duh! Pete asked what he (Ant, not himself) was up to these days -- the book, tooling around in the studio, etc. Speaking of the book, I've yet to be able to find it in any stores around here -- is it not being sold in the US?

In scouting around online, I came across these screencaps someone had lovingly made of the TV special "The Madness of Prince Charming." From Adam's sketch book...

How great is that? I love it almost as much as I love this...

* And Gary Tibbs as the security guard! "How'd they get Nick Moran to do that?!" Jon asked, like anyone wouldn't want to play Adam Ant. I'll do it. Let me get my boots.
