A Day In The Life

Interesting doc-music-video detailing the production and stories behind The Beatles legendary tune A Day In The Life. Fascinating how much of it comprised of little ‘accidents’ which could never happen in today’s recording process, but culminate to make the track truly genuine and authentic.

Dougie Lampkin Does Goodwood House

Entertaining viral for the festival of speed, featuring Dougie Lampkin riding around Goodwood house, just down the road from where I work. The ‘blimey’ guy at 2:40 looks like the incredibly talented boss of the motor circuit (and most likely the person who made this all happen).

Old Tech Version of Radiohead’s Nude

Brilliant rendition of Nude by Radiohead, performed entirely by old tech. The Sinclair zx loading bit at the beginning had the memories flooding back (it lasts for about 1:10, if you prefer to skip).

It doesn’t sound great, as it’s not supposed to.

Tripping on a Whiteboard

This is a brilliant stop-motion whiteboard drawing, surreal and (slightly) synced to the minilogue soundtrack it was made for.
