Since I’m already on this “bring the fantasy into the real world” kick, here’s a Röyksopp video with an awesome Space Invaders attack.
When I was I kid I took sides when it came down to almost every product I consumed. And I stood my ground firmly. I drank Coke and would not touch Pepsi. I loved Pizza Hut and refused Domino’s. I lived on Pop-Tarts so bollocks to Toaster Strudel. I was adamant against Nike and would wear…well basically anything else.
In my adult years, of course, I have eased up. I’ll drink a Pepsi if its around. I’ll eat Domino’s because I’ll feel like crap either way. Of course I’ll eat a Toaster Strudel if I feel like squeezing that ooze onto it. And I am now the owner of three pairs of Nikes (more on my Nike stance some other time).
But there was NO WAY I could choose between the big two. Nintendo v. Sega. I had both. Loved both. Anyone who knows me knows I am a die-hard Mario fan. Even through the backpack years.
But I also love Sonic.
So in homage to the original Sonic series, I’ve composed a cover of the theme to the Ice Cap Zone. Click the next post!
This morning after doing my usual five minutes of watching the live feed of oil spooge into the ocean, I hopped on thedailywh.at and saw this. This truly is what the inside of my brain looks like when I am happy.
Dude. Apple’s inability to create realistic dialog in their product based commercials has now spawned the creepiest feeling FaceTime spots. Jibblies.
I am rooting for the Dutch to win this cup. If you do not have a team to root for, go for The Netherlands. If for any other reason do it for this guy. My college roommate and life time friend Is Dutch. His name is John (seen pictured here with a very young and sober me). Let’s go, Orange!!!
The Total Ghost (@totalghost) thing is cruising along. Yesterday, while watching Germany eek out that third place win in the World Cup and drinking a lot of vodka, I was able to finish three more songs. My poor computer is not quite sure why I keep stressing it out so badly. Understandably so as I am usually running multiple ridiculous things at the same time. Bue the end product is worth it. One of these songs will probably turn into a video but the other two will not for sure. The one that I have posted here is more of an interlude as opposed to a full out track. It still sounds effing awesome.
I present to you “Do A Party”. This is a rough cut and is sans Bictor. He’ll be added in later. Enjoy!
Last month I was at Foodswings getting down on some vegan buffalo wings with @mattflint. We found a flyer on the counter by the window promoting the Bicycle Film Festival ‘10. We were all like, “Yeah! Let’s go!” But unfortunately, the last day was the the day before we were standing there. Luckily, if you live, or will be in Denver on September 9 thru 11, You wont miss it! Don’t be a dungus. See these films!
Life with out my otherhalfman @mattflint has been kinda weird. I seem to be getting into significantly less trouble and have been having about 20% less late night debauchery. I wonder if he is being affected the same way. Probably not. He’s a dude to which the party comes. Here he is in an adorable music video dressed as a heart. This music reminds me of a later summer afternoon in Austin.
This is Trouble by Ribbons of Song.
Here’s the second hit by German pop duo Total Ghost called (Too Fast for The) Autobahn. This version is a bit rough but it damn near perfect. The video for this has already been shot and is now in the editing process. You should really follow these dudes @TotalGhost. I’ll toss up some behind the scenes photos in a bit.
Last week I saw Brothers O’Hair at the Hi-Dive. This band exudes talent in every song from the crisp slide guitar down to the ringing, heavy drums. They will be playing on July 16th at The Meadowlark. If you cant follow them in person, follow them on the Twitters @brothersohair. See them now for cheap before they blow up!
This video was live at the Hi-Dive. The song is Tonight.
Having no job has left me with enough time to create some off the wall stuff. A birthday present for a very good friend of mine has now quickly turned itself into an out of control art project.
In the following post, I’m gonna toss up the video. The band in the video goes by the name Total Ghost. Bictor (the tall and dapper one) and Chön (The shorter, sporty one) are pop sensations that are taking Europe and the world by storm…..in my head.
Total Ghost is now what I am devoting the majority of my time to. I get to once again work with my favorite directors of all time, The Nix Bros, on more music based projects. I have made a Twitter feed (@totalghost), we have an email address (totalghost@gmail.com), and a Facebook page.
My goal is to bust out like 6 to 8 songs and three videos by the end of the month. Totally doable when you’ve got nothing else to do.
