Continuing to migrate videos not allowed on YouTube to Vimeo.

This is the Vinyl Video that started it all.

The Daily Vinyl video #05: "Middle Of The Road" by The Pretenders from The Daily Vinyl on Vimeo.

One night in June ’09, the idea to film my turntable playing some of my favorite songs in unusual places popped into my mind. The next morning, the thought was still there. So rather than thinking of all the reasons why NOT to do it, I decided to put my freakin’ record player in the middle of the road and figure out how to film it looking straight down. And so I did it.

This video is not necessarilly “exciting”. If you’re looking for exciting, there’s some good movie trailers on YouTube. But if you miss the days of pulling out that vinyl record, flipping through the artwork, watching that disc go ’round, and don’t mind hangin’ out for 4 minutes, then you may enjoy this.

Over the months, The Daily Vinyl videos have incorporated more movement around the turntable, but there is still something about the simplicity of just the spinning vinyl that is so magical and mesmerising. Thanks for watching.
