Best of 2007
Download QuickTime Version (50mb)
After all the positive feedback from last year’s inaugural “Best of 2006″video, it was seemingly decided by all my friends that I had no other choice to make another one for 2007 (and on). This time, I added a small constraint that any music I used had to be released that year. I also changed cameras, getting a Panasonic Lumix around March, which was a double-edged sword – shooting better quality video than the Sanyo, but a heavy drop in audio quality.
Music:
Broken Social Scene, Presents Kevin Drew: “Lucky Ones”
LCD Soundsystem: “Someone Great”
Laura Veirs: “To The Country”
so this is what you do with all your extra time. blogging…

Damnit! I miss you bunch of freewheelin’ jerks!
Can’t say that I can offer you as much here on the east coast — at least not in NYC.
However, hoping to make it out there in June.
See you then?

I don’t even know any of you as I “stumbled” upon this site, but I wanted to let you know that your “Best Of” compilation really moved me. Cheers!
