Video Collaborations
Video collaborations by Claire and Sean Carton. More are available from the Merrymount Arts Ccouncil YouTube channel and the Ccouncil’s website.
And no, “Ccouncil” is not misspelled. The extra “C” is for “cool,” although some say “culture.”
Should-Have-Been TV

Teen Beat A-Go-Go
Claire remixed some tracks from a long-forgotten Baltimore band released on the “Baltimore Teen Beat A-Go-Go” compilation. Our band SPRONG! performs the result here early on a hot Sunday morning in the hidden corners under Route 83 and PennStation.
