DM BOB & COUNTRY JEM - Lou For Loser (director: M.A. Littler) at slowboatfilms.com

Hiding behind the synonym "DM BOB & COUNTRY JEM" is the louisiana native, Garage-master (and producer of the King Khan & BBQ Show!) BOB TOOKE and Londoner JEM FINER, cofounder of the folk-punk legends: THE POGUES. In October 2004, shortly before the untimely death of BBC 1 Radio legend JOHN PEEL, Bob and Jem did one of the last of the world famous PEEL SESSIONS. This was Bob´s second session and he also appeared in the BBC film "On the Road with John Peel" gaining a bit of immortality along the way.But nearer to immortal is Jem Finer with his "LONGPLAYER" project. Between 1995 and the end of 1999 created his millennium piece - a musical composition to last 1000 years without repeating itself. Longplayer is physically running in a lighthouse over looking the Thames in East London, in the planetarium of the Alexandria Library in Egypt, in a theatre in Brisbane and a park near Nottingham England. It is also playing live on the internet. More recently Jem has been working as artist in residence in the Oxford University Astrophysics department, building sculptural observatories, listening to the sounds of deep space and playing 50´s sci fi rock n roll with his band of astrophysicists.
