Tuesday's Underground Lowdown

Ok, so this is a good little video of some history of graffiti. Cool old footage and shots of a time what seems now forgotten in graffiti history.

The video does a pretty good job going through the timeline of the history of graffiti putting nearly 30 years inside of a 15 minute video. Not sure how much of it is 100% accurate, a lot of it seems to be given our own knowledge but we didn't do any research on their exact time line claims.

Our only issue is the narrator's voice, it is not exactly something you can listen to for 15 minutes and then want to listen to again, ha-ha. Some more real video footage would have been helpful too.

Our apologies to the narrator but we're not going to sugar coat it. We know how difficult it is to put a video together and we respect the work and any research they did. However, maybe use a better mic and throw some background music in too.

Tuesday's Underground Lowdown

Need to buy a clue about graffiti ...this should help!

Seriously, this is a well done short piece on the history of graffiti done by PBS.  Informative as it dives into the historical relevance and the evolution of the graffiti scene as we know it today. Interviews by the authors of "The History of American Graffiti,"as they explain a bit of the scene and its history.
