A Ted Talk With Nothing Planned | Momus | TEDxTUJ

Momus - the artistic alter-ego of Osaka-dwelling Scot Nick Currie - has been wildly unsuccessful across a variety of fields. He’s made 30 albums of electronic folk music, published six novels, and performed in museums worldwide as an “unreliable tour guide”. Determined to turn this sustained failure into a sort of clumsy ballet, he’s now hoping to give the world’s worst (but secretly also best) TED talk.

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

''... has been wildly unsuccessful across a variety of fields. He’s made 30 albums of electronic folk music, published six novels, and performed in museums worldwide as an “unreliable tour guide”. Those would be credentials enough to consider him one of the FEW really interesting artists and creators coming from the previous century into this ''new world order''- his humour and wit is a blessing to this ball of confusion.

I just watched a video of him from the 2000 and wow his accent has changed!

This is quite a unique and absorbing talk, it is both interesting and amusing the talk develops, fantastic talk :)

Hmm, I wonder if Nick has seen Sam Hyde's attempt at a Ted Talk, his version is a little more planned, but much less welcome.
