Video of the Day – Secondhand Sureshots

Here’s a cool little video by the good people at Dublab, which they describe as “an experiment in sound recycling”.

I like the idea of filming people in their search for interesting records because that’s what one of the things I do in my free time…Except I don’t use the records to create new beats, which just adds to the interestingness of things.

All hail Daedelus, J-Rocc, Nobody and Ras G!!

Sadly, it’s just a trailer for now, but I can’t wait for the real thing to be available!

Video of the Day – Belly of the Beat

Excellent video showing A-1 Records‘ basement archives.

Video of the Day – Digging in Belgium

Beautiful video, interesting interview and anecdotes, perfect music. What else can I say?

Video of the day – The Archive

What would I do if I were to somehow come across an unexpected 3 million bucks?

I would buy this:

New Vimeo Account

I finally gave in and created a Vimeo account. I’m not sure yet if I’ll upgrade to the Pro Account, but for now I’m uploading short and random travel videos to get used to the website and its options.

I’m embedding some of them here to see how it works:

Longer and better-edited videos will soon come, as soon as I find the time to choose, edit, and upload them.
