welcome to the future: the friendly fires gig I'm at now Tweet

Update, July 19th 2001: The video is finally embedded below, and I've found a moment to tell you why exactly you were welcome to the future. This video was shot on an Android phone (which explains the horrendous sound quality by the way) and uploaded to YouTube immediately after, using the free wifi of (the iTunes Festival at) the Roundhouse in Camden. From YouTube is was soon after posted to my blog, and not long after... to Twitter, Facebook and my Google Profile. It was all pretty effortless—while doing all this I could easily sing along with the Friendly Fires and shake my tushy, both of which went on vigorously. The entire broadcasting experience has been pretty fantastic, really, if we ignore the bewildering inability of the YouTube mobile site or Android app (native, you'd think!) to embed the video instead of cheating by posting a link (watch "Friendly Fires NOW at Roundhouse London" on YouTube, i.e. the whole initial post).

What could be more futuristic, after this? That the phone + pocket PC devices we use nowadays marry the good pocket cameras (many too tiny for us to hit the right button anymore) we also use, and the emerging unique mobile device has the ability to stream live :) Other thoughts?
