I've been really busy with a <a href="http://breathemotionpictures.com/">feature film</a> I've been <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grip_(job)">gripping</a> on and a series of PSA's for The United Way's <a href="http://www.learnunited.org/">"Learn United"</a> campaign, which gave me the chance to work with the kids over at <a href="http://www.oneluckyguitar.com/">One Lucky Guitar</a>. So now that most side projects have died down for me I can move onto the next... Looks like I will be working on a 10 minute video for a new <a href="http://www.mtvri.com/">Metavari</a> song. This will be for their CD release in Fort Wayne. I'm super excited for this, they were nice enough to ask me to do a video for their last CD release, and I think this one will be even better.monkeysloungehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15240025699912156340noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5070335839084585051.post-48454775557058499222009-05-13T15:45:00.003-04:002009-05-13T16:03:16.211-04:00Wilco's New Album "Wilco"<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4WQLjwBH35mxU6gQddKpkIC7dM7GD6bEl_jjf1tFzN7yUIsHX6qhQbf5pfZ6Rnfk-XE_Xge4XJCwWw-T2xmWQ2VacqXRa6Of3xbKFLg9vmBdVYzg4VZXXHAyydyvVdpteNpXrFiVUVxSk/s1600-h/wilco.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4WQLjwBH35mxU6gQddKpkIC7dM7GD6bEl_jjf1tFzN7yUIsHX6qhQbf5pfZ6Rnfk-XE_Xge4XJCwWw-T2xmWQ2VacqXRa6Of3xbKFLg9vmBdVYzg4VZXXHAyydyvVdpteNpXrFiVUVxSk/s320/wilco.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335397448410932450" /></a><br />So if you are like me, you are interested to see what Wilco's new album will sound like when it comes out June 30th. Well, Wilco decided it was best just to let you check it out now... <a href="http://beta.wilcoworld.net/records/thealbum/index.php">HERE!</a> I just love the fact that bands worry SO MUCH about albums being leaked and Wilco just puts it out there a full month and a half before the release date! Now the BIG question, "What came first, the <a href="http://blogs.riverfronttimes.com/atoz/2009/05/wilco_the_album_leak_twitter_download_torrent_sky_blue_sky_tweedy.php">leak</a> or the website?" So far, about 8 tracks in, it sounds like a very soft, pretty little album.monkeysloungehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15240025699912156340noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5070335839084585051.post-1636607154662458782009-04-14T15:12:00.003-04:002009-04-14T15:30:19.093-04:00New Modest Mouse<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8eTmH_JUaw1JYXUPHV79OkwKL68BJUDZ2McQcS4rKx6SBaJPLp7rBNZ1W6szmtu9JvoO02yS-DhWWz3omKeG27sFesSS5G2K56HV0VkmiPv_T6jqwKoRLOGwV_2DQd1lvkGAXSPT-x9rn/s1600-h/satellite+skin.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 248px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8eTmH_JUaw1JYXUPHV79OkwKL68BJUDZ2McQcS4rKx6SBaJPLp7rBNZ1W6szmtu9JvoO02yS-DhWWz3omKeG27sFesSS5G2K56HV0VkmiPv_T6jqwKoRLOGwV_2DQd1lvkGAXSPT-x9rn/s320/satellite+skin.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324630558498063314" /></a><br />One more reason for me to be very happy this Saturday, other than my lovely wife's birthday, is <a href="http://www.recordstoreday.com/Home">Record Store Day</a>! Unfortunately I will not be in town, so Sean will have to brave it alone this year at the various <a href="http://www.woodennickelmusicfortwayne.com/">Wooden Nickle</a> stores... But I will be purchasing a bunch of goodies somewhere in Chicago. First off, Wilco's "Ashes of American Flags", Manchester Orchestra's "Fourteen Years Of Excellence" EP, and Brandi Carlile's 7" for my wife as a last minute birthday gift. BUT THE BEST PART... for me at least, is the new <a href="http://www.modestmousemusic.com/">Modest Mouse</a> single <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81Am168zUqU&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Emodestmousemusic%2Ecom%2F&feature=player_embedded">"Satellite Skin"</a>.
