Making The Broken EP

[thebrownshaun]

Who would dislike this? This is so rad! I really do appreciate it when bands put extra effort into their DIY packaging

[uauquefantastico]

Great brother...you are talent..!!!

[herzoga]

i love this - where can i get a copy?

[Ayelis]

Wow... Jen, you are amazing. The song "Broken" has been getting a lot of airtime on one of my Pandora stations. Now I really want to get an album! Truly inspirational! :D

[youroutofreachx]

has anyone seen a similar video in which the filmer uses an envelope with string to make a cd case? if you have post the link please? ive been searching forever

[emeraldfox4]

Wow, that is crazy awesome!!! You're an example for the rest of the music biz.

[Cylonphoenix3]

Damn girl, you are awesome! Great music, and such love put into the CD making! :)

[birdiezzz]

Bravo!! Thanks SO much Jen! I actually have a huge bag of inks and stamps and I do have ambeR rubarth's Unfinished Art CD which uses the same sleeve....mulling ideas around here.much to release next year...will order from you, soon :-) Birdie

[Helen20love]

Just what i needed ..love it

[trevorm1]

Brilliant.

[H0LL0WBELLY]

GR8 music gr8 concept gr8 everything.i loved it!

[kellysontheroad]

I love you Jen!

[DullBlaze]

Wow...talk about dedication. Well I love your music you just have an amazing sound and I hope to get my hands on one of your CDs soon. And yay for recycling and post-consume thingies :)

[fightingtong]

Jen

What can I say? You are amazing! Your music Amazing! Love it!

[markrokosmos]

I just can't believe you don't get a rubber stamp made with the entire back writing done in one stamp. It would look just the same (the rubber stamp would be made from your stamped design. It would cost you roughly 15-25 USD, and you would still have handmade, stamped copies and save you like 4 minutes and 50 seconds of the 5 minutes you currently need. Like the song, btw!

[CyclopsDesign]

I love this music

[johnclarkemusic]

That was great. I just heard you on on the cdbaby diy podcast. I really like your music. Inspiring video.

[tobogi]

oh oops

didnt notice the 5 minute thingy at the end

[tobogi]

holy smokes this must take a long time!

[TsubaZakeru]

Whats a broken ep?

[Joberooni]

its her ep...?! hello!

[wooz55]

"entertainment package"

[Preludefilms]

last time i checked, ep means extended play. the full length cds are lp's (long plays).... nice try though.

[DeepRollers]

still in love.....with your music

[Monstring]

O_O how do you move your hand that fast????

JK XD

[moraldecay7]

a broken ep has already been done by nine inch nails.

[gregingerson]

... but they suck ...

[moraldecay7]

and this doesn't? whether it's good or not doesn't change the fact that it's been done. that's like me starting a band called the backstreet boys and saying it's ok, becuase they sucked.

[bigodnamra]

Beautiful. thanks for taking the time to do this all yourself. I wish you the best. Love the crunchy beats!

[kaikuson]

not sure if you'll reply to this ^.^ hope you do

i'm in auw at the time and consideration you put into all of this =]

i like the track too

if it's ok i would like to add you on myspace. .i'm marc btw ^.^ hope to talk to you on there

[KrystoferRobin]

Absolutely beautiful pieces, iamjen. I'm completely in love with the fact you hand make each distributee. It's sexy, it's smart, it's clever, and it say a LOT about your dedication to anyone intrested in your music. I will say this, and take it with kindness.. I would hate for you to become incredibly popular.. you'd wear your poor fingers to the bones keeping up with demands.

[gabberdeen]

you have a great sound.

[p65ls]

you need 500 mexicans to put them together, but then again, you won't sell that many. lol

[indertorte]

omg, usa is going to go down ._.

[bhood2]

like it

[djlethalrush]

That's really cool. nice!

[sanchez021]

Damn, a really good song!

where can i get it?

[robhimself33]

Yes, you are Jen.

[EarlFaulk]

Christ anyone can program patterns in a piece of electronic drum software and call it music.

[iorbit]

I'm still getting over the fact that people can read and write so easily. What happened to the days when you had to hire a scribe, or you had to spend years in academia in order to learn both writing and rhetoric, and had to buy your own styluses and wax tablets?

These days any monkey with a typewriter can write Shakespeare.

[EarlFaulk]

ha ha

[fotoloco]

NIN did it first n better

[genesayssitdown]

YEAH THIS ISN'T THE REAL BROKEN EP

[underwaterphone]

this was awesome! i think it's ridiculous that some people 1. don't like this and 2. don't even know what an ep is. i'm going to buy your cds right now!!!!

[svofski]

Jen, this is awesome. Thumbs up!

[guziel123]

i like this electro pop.

[ravenjohnson]

...holy shit

you must have patience of steal

[noutube]

this is the most fucking obnoxious music i've ever heard

[spoonman1000]

WOW you have really wasted 4:45 of my life, I thought you were talking about the Broken EP by Nine Inch Nails If you havn't heard it you should go out and buy it and reconsider the direction of your music.

[Fetisha]

Damnit, I should've read the comments before watching this. I thought it was about NIN too. :(

[1acidboy]

u weido

[spikecellwarrior1]

...........weird..............­

[babyrapor]

An EP typically means it was a 7 inch record or a short album or single.

[UNDEADRAGON]

srry but what is an EP?

that was an amazing clip!

[mphthebassist2]

I love the music.

[modelcitizen73m]

It's Erasure and Postal Service, um... it's "PostalSure". That's what you should call your music.

Btw. Postal Service's song is in the latest UPS ad campaign. Pretty ironic, huh?

[grindFish]

Im inspired :D As soon as i have my ep together i'm building it my self. Hell, i even have access to a screen printer and vinyl plotter, what the hell am i waiting for? Nice cardboard, lovely music.

[MacGrurry]

whoever is hating. you should stop. this was an awesome clip i clicked on at random. nice music

[DeliciousPoop]

the video is better than the song. The video is ok, but i wish i watched something else instead.

[ElchinMendes]

wut the hell is this? i just stare at the boobs

[Nsomniacman]

Melody made me nervous...

[DJNitty]

wow man u really inspiring.

[Amputierer]

nice music and i like the video :)))

[MissVanSam]

what's so good about this..i know many artists who always make their own stuff but they will never post a video on youtube about it simply because of the principal..the people who i want to know what i am talking about will understand..

[famefetishfilms]

Ordered the CD. It arrived very quickly. Music is awesome.

Thanks jen. Hope you make more music and sell it.

[matthewTmccourt]

[Barinator]

F*cking booooooooooooooooooooooooooori­ng!!!!

[Timberfake110]

You must be very proud!

[TheDude06]

The broken e.p is originally by NiN

[gregingerson]

[wildweelz]

BE SAFE and God Bless!!!

[ExMachine]

[gurt1337]

Huh, hah, what? Where's NIN?

It's not NIN!

What is this and why it's not NIN?

FFS!

[synicalprick]

Fantastic video and beautiful music. I dig it.

[UKHoboso]

[PrkChp]

[Gegsite]

Cool music!

[SomniferousEyes]

Wow. That is awesome. I dig the song too. Where do I find a lady like you? <3<3<3

[zeppelingroupie13]

wow that makes me feel sooo lazy!!

[gogahf]

its wonderful

[SquigglyP]

Damn, nice music. Pretty cool the way you make these. Every single copy is different. Do you sign them or anything?

[godfailme]

wow that´s a lot of work i did´n´t understand what you did¡¡

[jimad12]

E P stands for extended play. E P are not a full album. They are usually less than 30 minutes. For more info look it up on wikipedia

[MA5T3RB]

where can I get one of ur cd's? cool music indeed

[Eskimetriko]

so?!!?!?.................

[Liynkx]

someone PLEASE explain what the heck an EP is.

[raymassie]

that is so freakin' cool...

[lucas311]

Aww man! I thought it was Broken Ep by NIN! Good video anyway...

[picardrullz]

Not to shabby if i do say so my self. nicely done.

[Frenk78rpm]

Knocked me off

[surferjon88]

wtf

[Zestfuly]

What the hell is this?

[userchemical]

you realize theirs already a cd called the broken ep

its by nine inch nails it was a cd and a movie...

[AOCRkid]

EXACTLY!

[OcularSinister]

Nicely done! If that down-to-earth method doesn't sell your EPs there is something wrong with society!

[elitecombt]

talented kid ehhhhhhh his being like garfield jokin good job but i make faster then u

[0konrad0]

it's fucking good, I like it very much, more the music (-:

[haya841]

wow!

[quakeroatmeal]

I really enjoyed the video and your music. You are very talented.

[dudesweetpro]

you coulda spent more time figuring out how to print something like that and made tripple the cds in the same amount of time

[horsfal138]

its not the point of printing shit off.

[ikijas]

Did you tape the cam to your head while inking the CDs?? i liked that part. overall a cool vid. Nice simple idea with the VH1 pop up info. cool.

[Kla6L]

Damn, good job i must say.. but damn i sure know how to waste your time... sorry, I'm not trying to be offensive..

[Kla6L]

Damn, good job i must say.. but damn you sure know how to waste your time... sorry, I'm not trying to be offensive.. But actually, the recycling material is briliant!

[dndn1011]

Time spent creating is never wasted

[larr1949]

kewl

[norriszd]

Got my cd in the mail the other day. Thanks and i love it!

[pols1985]

The song is nice BUT The video Suks.

& wtf does EP mean?

[mrcoolbp]

(EP) Extended Play, An EP (for extended play), is the name given to vinyl records which are too long to qualify as singles but too short to qualify as albums. Typically an album has eight or more tracks (anywhere between 40-60 minutes), a single only one or two (5-15 minutes), and an EP five to eight (or around 15-35 minutes.) (Wikipedia)

Trying doing a search smart guy. The video is demonstrating all the work put into the EP she released.

[MadSk8aBoi]

You almost sounded intelligent at the start of your statement. It's only when i read wikipedia that I know you copied and pasted. Which would have been ok but then you go and make an idiot of yourself with your bad grammar. 'Trying doing'. It's ironic a person such as yourself would make such a sarcastic comment when you are cleary a FUCKTARD. Someone asks a question and you respond with sarcastic comments, how nice of you.

[AerB111]

no one has to answer nicely to someone who just goes with "video suks" and "wtf".

[mrcoolbp]

Thanks AerB111. And thanks MadSk8 for your wonderful insight. I apologize for my "bad grammar." I appreciate your tact in the matter. Certainly it wasn't a typo of some sort. Anyway the reason I copied and pasted is probably because I GAVE Wikipedia CREDIT for it below the quote where it says "(Wikipedia)". Quotes that long are not usually quoted and rather are indented (which is impossible here) Also I was responding to the tone of pols' comments.

[fuvazoe]

that sounds like a song made by the fruity loops...

okeeeei

[MinusDanCubed]

Great video!! My favorite part is when you said "I think of you when I make them".

=)

[res1opav]

Yay! Great work! Thanks Jen!

[theonesheleftyoufor]

Great video but I don't get it. Whats the Broken EP?

[norriszd]

its the Album they just released. Just bought mine the other day after seeing the vid. I really like it.

[theonesheleftyoufor]

Ohh ok. What's EP mean?

[MizoB1]

wtf is this shit?

[jmvillouta]

I thought it was about the Nine Inch Nails - Broken (EP)..... buuu

[nottinspecial]

Lol! So did I! But it became quite clear after a few moments it wasn't the NIN Broken(EP).  Good job, nonetheless, Jen!

[Vaniteh]

Same here XD. Glad to know I'm not the only one =]

[DTFILIPINO]

Hand crafter, i love it, i would buy it and know it was worth it and what the artist wanted

[SeanithanEgan]

Awesome to see that you're so dedicated. Sweet tunes as well.

[entropycaos]

Nice music.

Great Work!

I´m going to myspace to know more about.

Kisses and good luck.

[oppositronic]

well that's very nice

[pirayax]

good!.. ecelet..

[xXatariiXx]

i need those stamps

[xXatariiXx]

i would make a stencil for the back of the cd and for on the cd itself. very creative though! really cool!

[Conscious]

Would defeat the purpose of what she's doing making each individual unique...

[patricklong420]

Very Very amazingly creative.

[badass147]

NO!

[manitobahal]

Thanks for showing us your labour of love Jen. Great ideas.

[cazy28]

very criative,well done! just heard your songs on myspace, was dancing by the way! :)x

[tuberumor]

Very cool! Now THAT's bein' a true artist!

[xTorrent]

What a load of hard work, you could've simply used a CD label maker, and had the same stamp effect. Same with the cardboard cover, printable.

A fraction of the time.

[echohawkk]

.....

You're missing the point I think. t.t

[xTorrent]

What exactly is the point of this? She's making labels and covers manually, if she wants people to hear her music, she could produce ten times that, in half the time. You don't have to do things manually to be artistic or original.

[xXatariiXx]

creative dude.. that what shes doing.. being creative

[Daps105]

what the hell just happened....

[echohawkk]

What she's doing is labeling and finishing each copy of her released CD by hand. I think it's pretty cool that she's taking the time and care to do this myself.

[echohawkk]

shit, made a typo and added a word at the end of the sentence that makes no sense. gg no edit for comments. >_<

[jabo193]

i have no idea what he did.. or WHY/

[missannekol]

Ilove the musika, but what is the sense it all?

[innocentsparkle]

I love your time and dedication into making this, and ordered the EP from CD Baby a few days ago. *is excited*

Gah, international mail is so slow these days...

[BRRRKNSTOCK]

DIY ; )

[phant0mshad0w]

aburridoo... pero yo kiero esos sellos!!! :D

[andrewplanta]

o my gosh that's soooo...i don't know but its seems pretty stupid to me

[lundkvist]

hahaha, this is a guy who posts out of focus cell phone documentations of pokemon nintendo games!

[yakoobnm]

it's reely cool...but where the iron kid all movie

[cholover]

intresting and cool:)

[anyfrax]

[FizzlNet]

Beautyfull thought.

Made my cynic heart melt for you ;)

[timetosing]

Very interesing, so meny views way to go,and wishing you the best!

[petje10]

wow veeeeeeeeeeeery interesting :S

BORED

[pixelgazer]

I don't want to make a fuss. I just tried to keep Jen in the know. I'm no stranger to intellectual property issues myself. And although, as a graphic designer by profession who's work has been used once or twice, I still encourage people to be inspired and not feel constrained by 'what's already out there. But it's good to know about it, because companies tend to disagree.

And yes, googling Pixelgazer returns ten pages ;)

[GNOLLE4234]

raga guardate dragonball gonario nei miei video,watch dragonball gonario in my videos

[Subfightr]

I admire the time and hard work but I want my 4 minutes back.

[Spodi89]

I like =D

[killswitch911x]

this song rocks! where do i buy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Goofyboots62]

Wow your hand making it all thats dedication props for you!!!
