    “This is done brilliantly. The film and music line up beautifully, and it makes this innocent cartoon seem so sinister.”

    A fan edit that sets Fleetwood Mac's The Ledge to old film footage from the Prelinger Archives. The song is a Lindsey Buckingham solo job in disguise: he wiped the band's parts, played everything himself and sang it kneeling in his bathroom. Mojo compared it to a deranged circus.

    2. 3.“Once at the Living Eye in Houston, Stacy got lost after a break. I helped look for him. The hash was stronger than expected.”
