Here we go again: This weeks findings!

Indie folk singer Allison Ponthier released her new song "Shaking Hands With Elvis", the official lyrics video is very simple (just a small segment recorded during a photo shooting repeated all over again) but I kinda like the song:

It is difficult, but not impossible, to find interesting things apart from the many clips for the new film. Again this week some contributions of "the usual suspects" caught my eye:

Here are three clips for the romantics among us... In all cases, the footage has been restored and qualitatively improved using appropriate software.

Josh Wildfire continues remixing, taking on "Spinout" this week. If Tom Cruise would like to shoot a sequel to "Days of Thunder" as well, that (and the still missing remixes of "Speedway", "Night Rider" and "Wheels On My Heels") would be something for the soundtrack

And finally, here's Billy Smith again. It's just like listening to your grandpa tell hilarious stories from the good old days:
