The first track from Airs' Moon Safari album, accompanied by scenes from a video shot from a streetcar traveling down Market Street in San Francisco in 1905. Before the earthquake/fire of 1906 destroyed the area. Remarkable footage of the turn of the century lifestyles in California.Made by cleaverb! The video is CC no rights reserved. You can download video from the www.archive.org . Search for " trip down 1905 " without quotes. I used the big 330MB(145MB mpeg) version,but you can download other formats.

This fusion of slowed-down old footage and modern soundtrack draws the viewer in to the intimate detail of the activities of the people on that day: the newspaper boys, the men in their suits, the man galloping on a horse, the kids holding on to the back of the car...you can even see the dust flying into the air from their shoes.
It's magical and the recognisable human traits on displays reminds us of our shared humanity....across the ages.

I'm impressed as I look at the area and consider that every one of those bricks was laid by hand. I mean to think that entire street was hand-made and not just bulldozed and then covered in asphalt is truly a remarkable thing.
