Art and Trash





Trawling through WFMU as you do, I came across a link to Ubuweb which offers many free mp3's and quicktime films. Audio stuff from Eric Satie,Terry Riley, People like us etc. Films from Samuel Beckett, Lennon and Ono etc. Check out the utterly riveting recent performance of John Cages 4 min 33 sec by a 64 piece orchestra.

Also I found a bizzare site called Scopitones dedicated to bringing you very cheesy and trashy 60's short music films. The Scopitone was a precursor to todays video jukebox using 16 mm film presumably back projected onto a 26 inch screen.
