Future Clouds & Radar - "Build Havana"

Explore  the StarAppleKingdom

Here is another song by the same guy - I think he's called Robert Harrison - from the days
when he was in a band called Cotton Mather. It's called Spin My Wheels.

Short but stunning - "Seaweed"

This stunning video was made by "Tell NoOne"

More of their work is here.

Beatles ??

More like the Beatles than any cover version of any Beatles song, "Lies" was in fact - or allegedly - written
by "Beau Charles", the lead vocalist of this odd looking American band called The Knickerbockers.

I'm not sure whether he's the one playing the Rickenbacker guitar, or the one who's
playing the silent saxophone; but the whole thing sounds very like Lennon & McCartney to me.

1936 Flash Gordon

In which King Vultan tries to electrocute Flash - but luckily the suspiciously

under-dressed Dr Zarkov has an electro - stimulator in his laboratory.

Don't ask.

Thunderbirds Intro

Ben Harper - "Excuse Me Mister"

Ben Harper is wonderful. This is from his 1995 album "Fight for your Mind".

I was reminded of this song recently when watching coverage of Tony Hayward, BP's
CEO, being grilled by US politicians about the oil spill in the Gulf.

OK Go - End Love

Perhaps a better video than song, but it's pretty entertaining.

You can listen to their album here

These are the same guys who made the famous "treadmill" video which you can watch here

Rather than Manchester: Old Havana

A captivating short film of "Old Havana" with bewitching music.

People in Yosemite

A fascinating time-lapse video that shows how people behave in Yosemite.



People in Yosemite: A TimeLapse Study from Steven M. Bumgardner on Vimeo.





The people look like a huge colony of ants on a day out, particularly climbing the rockface.

M. Ward - RequIem

This track, Requiem, comes from one of Matt Ward's older albums called Post-War (2006).

I really enjoy his music. If you like what you've heard, you can listen to the whole of his
new album, Hold Time, here at Merge Records.

American Music Club - 'All the lost Souls'

Mark Eitzel's American Music Club make great music.




If you like it, you can listen to the album at Merge Records, here

South Park Episodes and Clips

Clips from lots of shows and some full episodes are at southparkstudios.co.uk

Absolutely guaranteed to cheer me up after a bad day.

Carolina Chocolate Drops - "Genuine Negro Jig" Live

I was intrigued when the Carolina Chocolate Drops received great reviews
for their new album so I listened to it, and liked what I heard.
But the music and the band really come to life - as the clip above and these pictures
demonstrate - in a live performance.

There is nothing better than being there to see the music live.
So, this is the next best thing.
