Shreds

One of the things I love about the web is that things have such a long shelf life. A group of people will discover something and share it but a whole new set of people may not see it until much later. People can get the same peice of content sent to them at wildly different times depending on who they are connected to. I am still getting sent ‘viral’ films that I first saw or sent years ago but it works the other way around too. Shreds are a series of video mash-ups that have been on youtube since the beginning of the year and somehow I missed them when they got sent round back then. Basically they are re-edits of some musical greats like Eric Clapton and Santana playing live but with an overdubbing of amateur mistakes. Subtle and brilliantly done. The artists must be spitting blood….

Paco De Lucia
