We (me and Dave) have been doing a lot of work for JibJab recently – found it quite an education attempting to quickly bash out songs and videos using different styles. It’s certainly improved our chops.

Thank God It’s Friday
In my head this is an Emo version of the Friends theme. What I most remember about the video was walking round shops in Camden looking for a cheap diary.

Notable for its Windows Vista bashing, born from irritation at Joel Veitch spending £££ on a dell machine that didn’t work properly.
