WTF?? Down to the Sea 'performance'

[fritzperls]

To my eyes and ears this is weird throughout.

A number of questions, but primarily who the frick are the musicians??

Tim can't be arsed and appears pissed off throughout, must be the dancing bears, one of whom he threatens with a mic stand.

The musicians (whoever they are) look like they're going through the motions. Very odd. Wonder when this 'performance' was?
Got to hand it to the dancing bears though, they cheer like there's a room full of 'em.

I think it's from the Dom Joly Show performance? The musicians are part of the One Giant Leap project that Tim was involved with and they did another song later on. I might be mis-remembering though.

[fritzperls]

Yeah, when I watched the performance it brought the Dom Jolly appearance to mind-it fits Tim's mood on that show (acted or real).
You could well be right Deano.

What was the one Giant Leap project? I don't recall that at all, getting on a bit and the brain cells decline as much as the hair.

! Giant Leap was a great project with many excellent performances. Tim Booth also provided vocals on the song The Way You Dream with Michael Stipe and Asha Bhosle, and on Ghosts with Eddie Reader.

Yes.
