JIGSAW RE-POST NEWS!
THE BAD SIDE OF YOU TUBE
The video that I made with Garth Jennings for Jigsaw Falling Into Place was recently removed by the good folks at You Tube for so called ‘copyright violation’. As I know very well that the band and the record company were happy with me posting the thing I’m sticking it back up again. It won’t be new to you if you’re a regular here and it’s available elsewhere on You Tube of course, but as I put the fricken thing together I don’t see why I can’t have it on my channel too (you can read more about how it came to be made here).
You Tube are maddeningly hard to reach in these situations. It would be nice to think they had people who would respond to complaints when videos are wrongly removed but that hasn’t been the case in my experience. If anyone out there has a contact for a You Tube human, do get in touch, I’d appreciate it, especially as You Tube continues to be a valuable and mostly enjoyable way for me to post bits and pieces from time to time marred only by twatty vandals and Andrew Marr. And Johnny Marr. That was a joke based on the word ‘marr’ by the way. I love Andrew and Johnny as much as anyone. I have to point these things out for the avoidance of pro-Marr troll fury.
By the way, just saw this great Jigsaw Falling Into Place cover complete with helmet cam! Nice one yo!
