Monday Music - The Get Out Clause

Written by Chris Schaffer on June 30, 2008 – 7:58 am -

Want to be original but don’t have money? The Get Out Clause did just that. However, the Telegraph can say it better than I can:

Unable to afford a proper camera crew and equipment, The Get Out Clause, an unsigned band from the city, decided to make use of the cameras seen all over British streets.

With an estimated 13 million CCTV cameras in Britain, suitable locations were not hard to come by.

They set up their equipment, drum kit and all, in eighty locations around Manchester – including on a bus – and proceeded to play to the cameras.

Afterwards they wrote to the companies or organisations involved and asked for the footage under the Freedom of Information Act Data Protection Act.

When you piece it all together, you get the above music video which seems incredibly creative rather than a cheap solution to a video crew. While filming from the perspective of security cameras is no new thing, as far as I know this might be the first use of the actual security cameras for filming.

Monday Music: Ray Pizzi

Written by Chris Schaffer on April 21, 2008 – 8:47 am -

Here is a bit of music that my dad found for me. This might not be the standard music video I normally post, but for once it might be something that will help you relax. So sit back, and enjoy some smooth blues/jazz sounds.

Monday Music: Bad Religion “Sorrow”

Written by Chris Schaffer on February 18, 2008 – 9:22 am -

Despite the fact that I listen to a ton of Bad Religion, I hadn’t yet put up a video. So here it is, Sorrow.

The struggle between the man (humanity) and father (god/religion) does a rather good job at symbolizing some of the difficulties I am going through right now in my personal life. So watch and enjoy.
