We asked ‘Man Like Me’ if they could contribute to the 60 Seconds section of Planet Notion. "Hell", we thought, "we’ll give them a wide berth", you know? We told them: “Do what you want, go crazy, let your mind wander.” You see, Man Like Me are creative guys - blending the old-school elements of ska with the new-wave grime scene, an electro-pop backbeat, a smidgen of funk, and a pinch of hip hop thrown into the equation. The results are: "Well fresh!" Anyway, the lads contributed a 60 Second video, sort of in the vein of ‘Oh My Gosh’ and ‘Doughnut’ but with a really, really low budget. We’ll let Man Like Me’s Peter Duffy talk you through it…
“In 60 seconds we decided to each list our personal top ten favourite whatevers. Johnny chose crisps, I chose cartoons and Edwin chose diamonds. Johnny doesn't even really like crisps, I’m being childish, and Edwin is trying to make out like he's in the market for precious stones. Edwin kept his bit to the agreed 20 second length, Johnny went a bit OTT and overflowed at 24 seconds, but I fell short at 16 seconds so it all worked out quite nicely. Most of the items mentioned in each 'top 10' are only there because they rhymed with the previous ones. We used a camera phone for all the pictures even though there was a proper good digital camera upstairs. Safe.” Peter (Check out the 'Man Like Me' MySpace page!)
