The MP3 of Crime remix is not available anywhere at the moment, but thanks for the interest

Heres my remix of Another Story Girl. It has a 4/4 house beat and bleeps, so if you don't like those its probably best not to watch/listen.

I liked it Nathan,although all those 'beats and bleeps' were perhaps getting a little tiring by the end. But no matter as I was being distracted by the wonderful film you made to accompany the song and I was certainly enjoying seeing how many 'official video' / 'song' references I could find in your film.
I guess I spotted the obvious ones like 'Lori Glory', 'The Diver', 'So Lee', 'Wecome To Happiness', 'The Story Of Alan Bean' & 'Trainsurfing'.......how many have I missed?

25% of me liked it.
No,seriously,that's great Nathan,especially the video.I prefer that treatment in a song like 'Another Story Girl' just because it's a much more poppy kind of song already.NB there's an audible glitch/bad edit at c. 3.35,just when 'story' starts looping/fading.
As RobB says,the Stina video references (not to mention the blue star) make the video a lot of fun.Must have taken ages making that.
Actually the 'walkway'/train track sections reminded me of nothing so much as that scene in 'Dancer in the Dark' where Björk is walking along the railway tracks.

Thanks for the comments

I dont think I've seen the video to Welcome to Happiness, so if theres a reference to it in my vid then its a spooky coincidence!

There are more references... the three framed photos by the table in "Lori Glory" are of a circus top, a butterfly & some fireworks. But they're virtually impossible to see, as is the framed photo of the chap from the cover of Photographers Wife furthur up the wall.

But there are at least four more stina song titles or videos that are referenced, one quite obviously!

Thanks for listening/watching

Nathan

It's at about 1:51 where 'Stina' appears to be walking under a bridge and is being watched by a guy across the road.

lol, yep total coincidence! The guy is a spare avatar I had from a previous video of British broadcaster Andrew Collins (long story..)

Three of the other references: The guy in the gold outfit with stars across the chest on the motorbike at the end is a nod to the Sharon & Hope video, theres a picture of Parliament Square on the wall in Lori Glory mans room, and the crying girl in school uniform by the window followed by timelapsed clouds over a cityscape, was supposed to be a ref to Everyone Else In The World.. but its a bit obscure

I also thought that the whole video could be an homage to 'Walking too fast'.

I like the video. So many small details and references.

i normally dont like remixes.

the story girl one wasnt bad though, so good job.

but..... am i the only one bothered by the fact that the stina animation isnt wearing boots?
