A Little More Web Kipple
LMS No. 5428 “Eric Treacy“ of the North Yorkshire Moors Railway leaving Whitby on New Year’s Day 2024.
And a few pictured before she left.
It also turns out that the North Yorkshire Moors Railway has a lovely 3D tour of 5428.
James Dean Bradfield (of the Manic Street Preachers) with a really nice stripped down cover of Wham!’s Last Christmas on TFI Friday in December 1996.
Look Mum No Computer’s analog synth cover of Walking in the Air from The Snowman.
Thom York’s catchy 2006 polemic on the Iraq War and the death of Doctor David Kelly. For a music video that first premiered on a mainstream commercial TV station, Harrowdown Hill turns out to be bloody difficult to find in any quality better than ‘potato’. Indeed, the version above – while still not proper HD and occasionally raked by compression artefacts – appears to be the best one currently available and its hidden away on director Chel White’s Vimeo page! The version on XL Recordings YouTube page? Just a squidgy mush!
A timelapse of the setting sun over Loch Bay, Skye. Shot via drone in the autumn of 2023.
And the BBC Archive has coughed up a lovely spot of old industrial folk music from the early 1970s. It’s certainly worth a listen and it’d be nice if the entirety of that edition of Omnibus somehow managed to make it to iPlayer…
Honk!
And another video! This time we have some heavy seas from Poldhu Cove in Cornwall. See other video and photographs from this trip here!
More video potterings with a spot of footage taken at Gunwalloe Church Cove on a stormy day in March 2023.
I must have missed this the first time around but Apple has put up a series of Space Scapes from their rather enjoyable adaptation of Foundation.
