Going against the tide of Flickr curmedgeons, here’s some Flickr video from the QC archives:

Some Mono Lake shoreline to go along with the flies.
A flyby of the last remaining Northrop Flying Wing prototype.
Stars Of The Lid are touring the US right now, and if the Echoplex show was any indication you would be well served to check it out. And Their Refinement Of The Decline was on my 2007 top ten and there’s very few ambient groups out there who bring something interesting to their live shows.

It’s one of those modern myths you always hear rumors about but never really see in action. Someone has a Les Paul goldtop hidden under a bed for forty years or there’s an old barn out back that has a rare car sitting in it. Still, on occasion it does happen…
Reader Dan Veneman recently shared with us an interesting little barn find. It appears his buddy recently inherited a ranch in Salida, California, that included a 75,000-mile 1956 Ford Thunderbird.
Let’s not forget that amazing 180 car find in a Portugese warehouse. Sadly, most of these barn finds are languishing in the “I’m going to fix it up someday” category.

Ned says it much better than I can. I recall that my first real exposure to Neu! was from one of those KUCI cassette tapes.
