PLANETNOTION TELEVISION!
CAMERA-FOLK AND FILM EDITORS WANTED!
Planet Notion is looking for guys and dolls to film and edit features for its new TV channel, PNTV. Accompanying Notion to artist interviews, gigs, fashion shows, festivals and international events, you will be skilled, passionate and full of ideas about how to produce shit-hot video content. Camera-folk will be experienced and ideally have their own equipment, or at least access to equipment, while editors must be able to turn projects around quickly, and with stylistic flare. If you can both film and edit content, we would especially like to hear from you! These casual, unpaid positions would be ideal for those looking to develop their showreels, and to get the chance to travel, film major artists and top events.

If I did free my mind, would I win a pony? And would that be an actual pony, or 25 quid? I’m already confused over whether I want the pony or money. I could get more than £25 if I sold the pony for glue, but that would go against my brains newly found hippie freedom. Tiz a quandary, and one which doesn’t really get answered on this album. Other questions are answered, such as what influenced the duo to record these songs: A place where a lazy old freight train chugs by; a pure nature wilderness; a few chillums; and some old records by The Doors and Crazyhorse too… Probably. But playing the hippie card is the joker in their hand, because Golden Animals' songs, although full of languid rhythms and stoned wisdom, aren’t really hippie, per se. For instance on ‘My Friend Bill’, bill is rhymed with hill is rhymed with pill in a way that reminds me of Morrison's folly into commercialism; compounded by the lizard kingesque baritone and infectious nursery rhyme melody. Elsewhere, on songs such as ‘Try on Me’ and ‘My My My’, the twinning of Tommy Eisner’s (USA) guitars and Linda Beecroft’s (Sweden) drums roll out tunes that get stuck in your throat with the catchiness of a fish bone. But for me the true hot rock on this album is the closer, ‘Darkness and Light’. Its woozy vocal harmonies and lush rhythm invokes memories of a hot day spent with your favourite girl, a glass of iced coke, and a lump of opium. So far I’ve listened to the album a lot; ­driving around under clear blue skies with a breeze blowing through the windows and, well, it’s almost as good as not doing anything at all. Almost. Paul Crompton
