We are stronger together. This was a time of community and care for everyone. I think it's also about the possibility of our future. We shall overcome.
I was always amazed at how my Dad and my Uncle in the past were able to make things in wood and metalwork, they had a lathe and both were mechanics, if something was broken they could fix it. Todays society don't have the ability to fix things, they just replace the item. I'm basically thinking of the last time I took my car in because on an engine light on, The garages have replaced many parts of my VOLVO V70 but the engine light is still on! Says it all about todays work force, all managers but no one actual doing the job.
I'm from Mexico and we have a "indie" radio station, one day they where playing "Spitfire", just by accident I tuned the station and discovered this guys. Since the first chords I got hooked with their style, great band.
aside from the music, what's really blowing my mind here is seeing how steam locomotives -- pieces of incredibly precise engineering and very narrow tolerance requirements -- were manufactured almost entirely by hand. It's wild.
I was at Kaiser Chiefs concert in Brighton and the Band support was PSB . Afterwards got back to the Hotel and got on ITunes they filled the gap in my collection . I have Seen them Three times since
Bonkers trains right,this is P S B here we go again can you hear than beep that is your air running out , how could any one get tired of either carrying eight machine guns and or circurling the Earth.with an Astronout and then help turn the wheels of industry, its just out standing.
Everything I like: great music, steam locomotive, and labourers that built, maintain or overhaul the latter. Incredible footage. Time needed every day before to start the journey!!!
I've come late to the party as I only heard Spitfire for the first time the other day, thanks FBI radio. Blown away after following up here on RU-vid. Am now telling all my friends to check out the output on here as I think this is wonderful that the ancestors contribution to society has been resurrected through the videos with a magnificent soundtrack. I'd love to watch the videos with the original narration if you have links please. Fascinating to see how a steam train was built by craftsmen back in the day, shameful that such skills mostly gone now. Reminds me of an acquaintance who reckoned his job was to put the steering mechanisms on the old trains. On a side note another band to check out flying under the radar is Amyl and the Sniffers, hottest rock chick since Chrissy Amphlett (Divinyls).
Much of this reminds me of a 2010's take on the innovative sample-fest of underrated mid-1980s pop/scratch/dub/punk/hiphop/soul/reggae experimentalists Colourbox. Which is not a bad thing. Anybody else notice this?
