A short movie I made.

2010-01-28T20:14:00.000-08:00

Here's a movie I made for Emerson Experimental Art's "films 'n music" (yup that's what it was called) show last year. It was shown with live accompaniment.

I'm currently trying to digitize pretty much everything I've made to put on the internet for an eventual portfolio site.

I'd like to have that up by the start of the summer.

New Year, which means let's think about last year's music.

Hi everyone (which, in the case of this blog, is actually no one). I hope the first two days of 2010 have gone well so far.

At this point I'll recap those albums and moves that consider to have been my favorites from 2009 (which does not necessarily mean "best").

I can't really place them in order, so here's just a big alphabetized list. It's probably missing some, but I guess if I can't think of them they probably weren't really my favorites.

Algernon Cadwallader - Hot Green EP
Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavillion
Crystal Antlers - Tentacles
Former Ghosts - Fleurs
Grizzly Bear - Veckatimest
The Love Language - S/T
Native - Wrestling Moves
Nurses - Apple's Acre
Pianos Become the Teeth - Old Pride
Pretend - Bones in the Soil, Rust in the Oil
Pygmy Lush/Turboslut - Split 12"
So Many Dynamos - The Loud Wars
Strangers Family Band - S/T EP
Trophy Scars - Bad Luck

Of these, I'd say Pretend's Bones in the Soil, Rust in the Oil is my favorite. It's seriously awesome and I'd suggest it for fans of Do Make Say think, Slint, Don Caballero, and I guess just music in general. It took a little while for me to get fully into it, but once I did.. man. What a great band. I'm looking forward to what 2010 will bring for them.

Out of all the bands in that list, I'd say The Love Language and Nurses stand the best chances of gaining a lot of popularity this year. Let's see what happens.

As far as movies go, all I can really think of for great movies this year are A Serious Man and Up. I didn't go to the movies a lot. I did see Avatar and The Road yesterday, though, and they were both great (even Avatar. I have to admit. Though it really has to be seen in 3D).

I haven't yet seen Inglorious Basterds, The Hurt Locker, An Education, Up in the Air, A Single Man, District 9, Ponyo, or Fantastic Mr. Fox. I'd say those are the movies from 2009 I'm most interested in.

But yeah. I'm looking forward to a fresh year and a fresh decade. Here's hoping it will bring all sorts of fun and exciting things.

Here is a picture of my legs. This is the first picture of me taken in 2010.

I wonder what they will look like at this time next year. By that time I will be done with Emerson.

Weird.

Maybe I'll keep updating this blog.

But if history repeats itself, probably not. We'll see.

Denver Zoo

2009-08-25T08:10:00.000-07:00

The Denver Zoo had just about every animal ever, and I took a lot of pictures. Here are some of those pictures:

This is only a tiny sample of the photos, but you get the idea.

Animals are great.

Denver

2009-08-21T22:46:00.001-07:00

Yesterday Kallie and I arrived in Denver for the weekend. Today we had dinner at her brother's apartment, which has a nice view of the city from its roof. Here are some pictures:

This is the sunset. I didn't edit this one at all; the sky looked very nice.

This is Kallie in our house's front yard. The grass is rad.

Great!

i recorded my guitar on a portable tape recorder then digitized it. then i used my microkorg and kevin's old keyboard and some stuff around my room. it's all just recording, no sequencing.

anyway.

2008-12-26T11:24:00.000-08:00

This is a film i made for my film 1 class with Paul Turano. It's called "A Movie About My Family." I shot it on 16mm 200 ASA tri-x, pushed to 800.

pg.99 - discography

2008-12-22T00:11:00.000-08:00

Here are documents 1-14 by pg.99. Huge epic classic screamo.
Generally an 8-piece band, they played shows with up to 14 members.

Regarding the splits:
Most of the tracks from the splits aren't here. Documents 12 & 13 are both complete (Majority Rule and Circle Takes the Square), and Document 10 is missing like two or three tracks from Waifle. Enemy Soil, City of Caterpillar, etc... not here. Sorry. Pg.99 should be complete though, which is what really matters.

For fans of: Neil Perry, Ed Gein, Orchid, Me and Him Call it Us
