Corrected the link now, nobody's perfect.
Took some pictures of Manchester, England on a Saturday afternoon in March. You could do this every weekend and chance would give you different results. A preacher, Irish football fans, a security van broken down, a discarded takeway. Just 1 minute 12 seconds, Windows Media File, 3.3Mb.

Can a convenience store make an interesting vlog? Can buying a bottle of wine have consequences? At this point I was asked to leave. Audio from April Winchell who has collected lots of weird, funny and desperately bad but good tracks. Better send her a donation.

What to do with bits of video? Slap them together or bin them. Shot in Manchester, Salford (across the river), and Barcelona (two hours by plane, double that with airport waiting time).

tourist roof

Tourism clambers over the spectacular roof of La Pedrera, Barcelona, the sun bleaching into the wonderful Gaudi architecture. They'll never make chimneys like this again.

Video - Quicktime 5.32Mb, there must be a way to compress these vids smaller??
Music by heavyconfetti at ccmixter - the new kitsch, track 2 but chopped and re-assembled in lo-fi audio...no copyright problems here.

Update - I had an email back from "heavyconfetti". "This is what it's all about" quote.

Kal-shots

Barcelona, and we're doing a three hour lunch, stuffing our faces. Calcots (pronounced Kal-Sots) are a seasonal delight. Go for it with the Biffas, Alison and Graham in their bibs. Windows Media 4.22Mb, colour, extra music by David Byrne in Creative Commons copyright so that's okeh..another food movie.

Update : Mis-spelled Kal-Shots, should be Kal-Sots 'cos that's how it is pronounced. They are a type of onion.
