1.	Zipper Flies 00:11	lyrics
Buttons connect me to a bygone age of boots and jeans and dust and roads, but zipper flies bring a tear to my eye.
2.	Man Bag 00:11	lyrics
Given the choice between cargoes and a man bag I'd take the man bag every time.
3.	Unmute 00:10	lyrics
If you could unmute the silent film, would you hear the director shouting?
4.	Shirt 00:11	lyrics
That was my favourite shirt, the one with the ink stains on the inside of one arm and the dog-eared collar.
5.	Unique 00:11	lyrics
You're unique. If anyone were like you they'd be unique too.
6.	Mr Ukulele 00:11	lyrics
Mr Ukulele attaches an emotion to each string then carefully strums his way through a particularly tricky tune.
7.	M.O.R. 00:11	lyrics
Walking down the middle of the road, I'm walking down the middle of the road.
8.	Saw 00:11	lyrics
I saw a man play the saw but I don't know if he saw me.
9.	Oranges or Carrots 00:11	lyrics
In the colour space of the modern kitchen there is no more difficult decision than "oranges or carrots?"
10.	Not My Forte 00:11	lyrics
It's not my forte. I think I'll pass. I'm only really comfortable with things I'm already good at.
11.	Virgin Trains 00:11	lyrics
Virgin Trains don't have the confidence of older, more experienced trains.
12.	Moleskine 00:11	lyrics
I got a Moleskine. It tells me what to think about. Keeps me busy when the power runs out.

about

12seconds.tv was a website and community where you could post videos with a 12-second limit. During the 50/90 Challenge of 2008 I posted a series of 12-second songs which I then hacked together into a 3-minute album called 12x12 on YouTube (youtu.be/-T8TpgG60Do). I perform the whole album live quite a lot.
