Who likes to watch videos in the morning? Me too. That's why I'm gonna start playin' you some random stuff every weekday morning from here on out. I'll end every day with a video that's part of a secret theme (because I like secrets, and I like themes). Here we go.
We'll start off this fine mornin' with a new video created for "Sleep Whale," a song by Denton ambient duo Mom. It was put together to coincide with the Japanese release of album Little Brite.
That was Mom. Now let's have something from Dad. I'm talking about my 67-year-old father, who is now a YouTube addict after I introduced him to the site a few days ago. He, like every person who discovers YouTube for the first time, sat for hours on end searching for every song or TV clip that he's ever loved. A big chunk of that searching revolved around Texas country singer-songwriters who buddied up and conquered in the '70s. Of the many clips he showed me, this one of Guy Clark had to be my favorite:
To completely switch gears, after the jump you'll find the first clue for this week's secret theme. I will tell you what the theme is on Friday, but you're welcome to e-mail or comment with your guesses.

Secret themes and video footage? Good stuff, Hunter. I especially dig the Guy Clark video.
