I need to leave for the library now, but I found this! Never seen it in full before. Have not got more than about five minutes through, but if you've never heard of Poly Styrene, at least the first part of this should tell you what an intelligent, thoughtful and generally lovely person she was was (RIP Poly :( ). Even if you also get the impression that, like a lot of us, she couldn't hold a tune if she couldn't hear herself over any background racket...



I wanna be instamatic
I wanna be a frozen pea
I wanna be dehydrated
in a consumer society


(^some of my favourite lyrics ever.)

ETA: Oh dear, this may well break your heart. I thought it must have been filmed before Poly left the public eye, but it seems to be more about her reflections on why fame is horrific... Watch at your own risk? I'm halfway through and it's definitely worth watching, but yeah, it's sad.
