That day of the week again, musical throwback Thursday. Am picking a Freelance Whales song this time. It is Generator 1st Floor. Which is off their 2009 album Weathervanes. First heard them many years ago with their Generator Second Floor song. Which I really like. This one is good as well. Their is just no music video to go along with it. However their is one of them playing it live at a SXSW event. Which you can see > here or below.

Used my new GoPro HD Hero 960 since it lets you take pictures very so many seconds. Got some really nice pictures of the sun with the clouds moving by. I How it has been done before but I have never tried. It took me a lot longer than I thought it would to edit. It did turn out really good thou.

Posted in Just something to say, Videos with tags Freelance Whales, Freelance Whales - Generator 1st Floor, Freelance Whales - Generator 2nd Floor, Generator 1st Floor, Generator 2nd Floor on March 21, 2011 by getbent57A few weeks ago I posted the video for Generator 2nd Floor by the band Freelance Whales. In that post I mentioned another song that I like by them as well, Generator 1st Floor. While there is not official video for this song. Found a bunch of live versions of the song. Did some more digging and found a guess would be the cd version of the song.
