super 8 still alive and kicking.

For those of you in the UK, Maximo Park just released a live concert DVD with their performances from earlier this year along with music videos and a Super 8 documentary.

"Shot entirely on Kodak Vision 200T and 500T the 32 minute film follows the band on tour and is described by band's official website as being 'beautifully shot.' The DVD release is initially being sold as a special edition deluxe case bound book with a sixteen-page booklet."

Here's to hoping that "being beautifully shot" will bring back Super 8mm as an option for bands to use. The White Stripe's Under Blackpool Lights was pretty neat to watch, though shot on what my guess is gritty Tri-X B&W.
