Kula Shaker have recently released their fourth studio album, Pilgrim’s Progress. Their first two albums, ‘K’ and “Peasants Pigs and Astronauts” before their split at the eclipse in 1999 are amazing. Their 2007 comeback album “Strangefolk” is quirky, psychedelic, and wonderful. Upon hearing about the release of Pilgrim’s Progress, and after a quick first listen [...]
Stonehenge at the Summer Solstice 2009
by Tom on 22. Jul, 2009 in Films, video
It’s just over a month since the summer solstice, and, if you have never spent the night at Stonehenge with 35,000 other people, this short film should hopefully give you a hint of the sights, sounds and atmosphere. The film starts in the evening as the sun sets, through to partying in the dark of [...]
A short tour of the British Museum made shorter
by Tom on 10. Mar, 2009 in Random
A short tour of the British Museum made shorter from Tom Goskar on Vimeo. I took a little wander around the British Museum’s Great Court and some upper galleries, and filmed as I went on my cameraphone. The original video was 11 minutes long, sped up here by 800%, so I suppose it’s a 24mph [...]
Live streaming video from the Nokia E71
by Tom on 04. Jan, 2009 in Random
Recently, while on holiday in Penzance, I saw some spectacular waves breaking on and over the sea defences. It was so amazing, I wanted friends and family to see it as well. I’ve had Qik installed on my phone for a while, going largely unused, so I thought that I’d load it up and give [...]

by Tom on 14. Dec, 2007 in video
The BBC have just launched a Flash-based version of the iPlayer. You can’t download programmes yet, but at least you can watch them in your browser. Being a Mac user, I’m pleased that at least we have something!
HD Video Sharing
by Tom on 22. Oct, 2007 in video
Tired of those tiny video offerings on YouTube? 320×240 video at 15 frames per second is starting to look a bit tired on large screen resolutions. At work I’m lucky enough to have a new iMac with a 24″ screen running at 1920×1200, and trust me, YouTube starts to look a little… inadequate… on my [...]
Video from the top of Salisbury Cathedral’s 404′ spire
by Tom on 15. Jan, 2007 in Random
Scared of heights? Don’t watch this video, taken by conservators working at the top of Salisbury Cathedral’s 404′ spire. That’s a long way up, with not much to hold on to. With lots of wind. To those familiar with Salisbury, here’s a closer view of that little red light we see way up in the [...]
