I've just watched the Olympic Torch travel through my home town of Rhyl, North Wales - it seemed that the whole town was out to see a little piece of history in the making.
If you get a chance to see it close to where you live, do so - it's a wonderful experience.

LIKE THEM OR LOATHE THEM, MUSIC VIDEOS OF ALL GENRES HAVE EVOLVED INTO THEIR OWN ARTFORM - DISCUSS....
I'm sure you're like me.......spend time on the internet looking at something specific, then an hour later you're immersed in something totally different, and wonder......how did I get here?
I've done this today with music videos. First I was looking at L'Arc en Ciel videos for their recent O2 gig in London, then ended up with Slipknot, Mushroomhead and a variety of Nordic thrash death metal bands that I can't even pronounce.......yes indeed.....how did I get here?
What took my attention though was the imagery, artwork and storytelling - love the music or loathe it, the production value in some of these videos is incredible.
I felt like a voyeur looking in through the misty windows of a downtown nightclub upon a scene that intrigued me, but silently I knoew I'd never have the guts to walk in throgh the door and join in - not even with my Heavy Rock and Metal background when I was Younger. Another asimile would be like my being a dedicated Biker watching Hells Angels ride past - intrigued, but not of that persuasion. You get my drift?
So, I've compiled some of these videos, and will keep adding from time to time - a sort of 'Gallerie du Cirque de Metalique' (forgive my rubbish Franglaise). Watch, enjoy, recoil, revere.....and I'd be interested to hear your views regarding the Artistry of the mediums used and the effectiveness of the pieces as a whole to 'move' you, the viewer; be it in a good or bad way.
Thank you.
Mark
