WITW Video rotation in TOPSHOP

[Phaedrus]

Wind In The Wires video is on rotation on screens in the Oxford Circus topshop!

Oh dear god.

Am I the only person on this board with an immense (and possibly irrational) hatred of Topshop?

I hope not.

Is it just me or do you find Topshop playing the video kinda ironic?

For work experience, my friend worked there.

She hated it.

[Phaedrus]

You are not the only one with a hatred for Topshop.. I'm not celebrating Topshop.. And hatred IS rational.. Its run by that horrid fat cat Philip Green that owns Arcadia and most of your local highstreet who spends millions of pounds on expencive things for himself!

Its a fashion store and all the mindless fashionista's buying their rip-off fashion pieces will lap up anything shoved in their face and spit it out as soon as the next copy of Bliss or Elle advises them to buy something else because Topshop payed them to!

Thats not an ignorant sweeping generalisation about people who shop there, I shopped there before and I can be mindless but becuase its such a shallow whole of fickel high street fashion rubbish that, yes it is ironic that they play Patrick as his ideas and music contradict the whole place.

[BoyHeroine]

i agree, i mean i shop there sometimes myself - as they have some nice cheap plain tshirts which i like to paint my designs on, but i just hate going there and the people behind the tills - in the mens part anyway - always seem quite rude.

Although i think i may have to go and sit in there for a while tomorrow to catch the full video because i still havent seen it yet and have been searching everywhere to find it!

[Phaedrus]

Good Idea! I wonder how long we'd have to wait!?

[HeatherMoose]

Topshop follows me around and steals my clothes ideas. I might start wearing various animals on my head and see what they do then.

My friend works there, he said they had the libertine video on before.

I dislike "fashion" shops immensly, however, I buy my clothes from the sale because no-one else wants them. Yesssssss!

I don't know this Topshop, but I think I understand why some of you are somehow irritated. Sure, Patrick is very special and his ideas don't fit to the world of big business, but still it sadens me more, that only few passionate music-fans and some professionel music-reviewers seem to know of his wonderful music, lyrics and being. In my opinion it is a pretty good idea, to play the new video in that obviously big fashinon-store two weeks before the single is released. Patrick deserves it to be at least as wellknown as Bright Eyes.

Anyhow, I think it never can be wrong to put a sparkle of real beauty and deep emotion even into a superficial and profane place, so that some more people have the chance to be touched by it.

[Phaedrus]

i agree with you, that is a nice point its not fair to be elitist .. spread the joy! I just hate that Philip Green man ..

.. and the fact that theyre playing it in Topshop and we cant see it! I want to see it desperately!

[Laurel?]

What is this Topshop? I feel left out.

[Phaedrus]

a big high street fashion chain in the UK.

[Laurel?]

Ah. Thanks.

Patrick deserves more attention then Bright Eyes. I don't understand why Bright Eyes gets so much attention in the first place...

[pumpkinsoup]

i saw a clip of the wind in the wires video on the internet, its patrick prancing about naked...

topshop isnt really that bad at all, as long as you dont go buying really silly things, once i was in there and they were playing the animal collective. which is nice.

oh, the clip is here if anyone wants a look www.alternative-c.co.uk/showvids.asp?vidref=patr001

TopMan jeans have no, ahem, room in them.

I haven't shopped then since I was about twelve.

Cheerio, Michael. xxx

[HeatherMoose]

Hahaha, that's strange, all the girls clothes are huge!

[gecko]

So am I going to have to camp out in Topshop all day just to see the video in full? Hell on earth!

Just wanted to say, that if it weren't for this thread, we would not have known Topshop TV had the video...we've not had a lot of info about stuff as we're on the road all the time. Cheers to Michael for organising dates for us! These fan boards have really been amazingly helpful to me over the weeks I've been on the road and I've been nearly relying on them for feedback and info correlation. I'd never have known the Circlesquare was even released! It's amazing how rubbish some companies are at passing on info to TeamWolf so thank you to the fans.

But...I thought i'd let you know that the new video is going to be played on MTV's Comedown show on the 29th. I don't have MTV and haven't seen the video even! But perhaps y'all can watch it and let us know what it's like!

Oh...and just to let you know, Patrick never said he was working with Devendra B. A journalist WROTE it. it wasn't quoted. He never said it at all because he isn't. He's got a track coming on a CocoRosie compilation and THEY work with Devendra...so I guess the journalist got confused or was shite - take your pick. Don't believe what you read!

I shall go back to lurking now. And working, of course! Hope to see some of you on the road soon!

[Phaedrus]

see you at the Lyric and in Bracknell! xxx

I don't give a toss what they put in there as long as they don't make me go in there too.
