In between keeping a close eye on events in the Crimea, where the situation seems to be getting more serious by the hour, I’ve been keeping my usual eye on facebook. I just came across a reference to a song, Window licker by Aphex twin; call me oversensitive, but as soon as I saw that title, I felt the first pangs of offence. It is, after all, no longer acceptable to name songs with terms of abuse for any other minority. I looked it up on youtube, of course, hoping I might find some witty provocative piece of disability art, but no such luck. It is just another piece of music: it has no lyrics, and the video just involves women dancing in bikinis. I don’t see how the title is at all appropriate. The immature jackasses in Aphex Twin just thought it was cool to use a playground term of abuse, so I’m now considering calling my next film Talentless little berks who make crap music.
