Over the weekend I was turned on to, what has now become, my favorite Youtube site. It's called Watchinshadows and was created by a blues musician from England. It's really two separate groups of videos.
First, there's his favorite videos, mostly consisting of rare rock and blues songs. A real treasure trove at your fingertips.
But what has me enamored with Watchinshadows is his own video creations. These consist of obscure early rock and R&B songs in which he puts together collages of all things retro schtick from sci-fi B movie clips to old monster trading cards to 50's era BDSM and pin up photos. For you Clevelanders, think Ghoulardi of whom I've spoken about in the past.
In fact, I brought him up in a post about the death of Lux Interior. Not surprisingly, Watchinshadows wallpaper on the site is of Lux's band, The Cramps. It's a site that Lux would've loved.
