Here is a "teaser video" for The Chemists upcoming "This City" music video. The voiceover is, of course, done by Richard and apparently he is doing a spoken word version of the actual opening lyrics for the song (which coincidently is the opening track of the new album).

The video has been skilfully crafted by Mi, a video effects and animation studio in Manchester, U.K. The Chemists are signed to Distiller Records and the new single is due for release early in 2010.

To find out more about the project check out the Mi website.

Thanks to Ian at Mi for the news.

Richard started the new year appearing in the BBC Four programme "Dear Diary". The first in a series of three programmes asking what we get from reading and writing diaries; Dear Diary's first episode with Richard compares the public and private lives of some famous people (Joe Orton, Kenneth Williams, Erwin James, John Diamond and Rosemary Ackland) by looking into their diaries. We all know Richard as a diarist himself, making him a perfect candidate to delve into uncovering the power of a diary.

Viewers in the UK still have the opportunity to view this episode. The episode is available until 12:59am Tuesday 26th January 2010 through the BBC iPlayer at their website.
