For the past year or so, I've cut together a number of videos using stock footage and public domain music available on Internet Archive's extensive catalog. I came across a great tune by The Michael Elam Band, "Tell It to Me", and cut together a music video. Themes include drug abuse, mental illness, and puberty. An odd mix, I admit.
Now, the band has cut together two videos of their own for their upcoming album, Pennywhistle. I urge you to check them out on their official Blue Harvest Records blog. Archive.org has proven to be a great resource for video and audio tracks, and has allowed enthusiasts to express themselves creatively by using the same footage to create their own unique and captivating videos.
Work has kept me busy. I'm anxious to cut my next "mash-up" or "remix". I'll say this about technology: relatively inexpensive editing software has made it even easier for artists and editors to put together awesome work. For that, I'm grateful.
Also, if you're into old-school tease mixed with sped-up Public Image Ltd. tracks, check out "Death Disco" by YouTube user negativeEclipse. Hopefully, the trend will continue, and I'm looking forward to more great work by these and similar artists.
Take care.

I'm not quite sure why but it works - or is that just my twisted sense of logic kicking in?
