I love the way you make your music very original, its like Ennio Morricone used to make his music long before he was famous with his Spagetti Western themes.
love the use of the change on the racket...very cool,....pink floyd bassist roger waters dropped change in a glass jar for the song money,...then looped it on a huge tape,...usin a mic stand as a spindle when they recorded darkside of the moon,....very ingenius...both him and you all
yea, the banjo shots look SUPER dull. Unless you are blind, you should not be looking 'through' your audience... Give your eyes some life and soul.. because you are passionate about your music, and not because we said to...
If you used Canadian change...the change high-hat wouldn't sound the same...Because American change and Canadian change sound different....Just saying.
I love a good loose-change-on-tennis-racket player. In fact that is probably the leading reason why I subscribed to you. ;)
no but seriously now, you're a wonderful musician!! (found you through your collab with Nataly) and soo...basically...=) smiles! and goodness! cheers! happy! woo!! can't wait to hear more.
Could you do an Ani DiFranco -cover please please? I think some of her songs can be sung by you perfectly... and then with this kind of creativity it would be so cool to see/hear! :D
I was going to respond to your response to my response, but I couldn't find MY response, but then I noticed you have EYEBROWS, and they do WONDERFUL THINGS! You might want to think about that, and about doing something with your bangs so people can see your eyebrows do their dance. A woman with expressive eyebrows is a powerful woman indeed, they say (they being intelligent men with the power to speak their minds), sadly, they're all insane because of their split personalities, go figure!
If you ever start saying to yourself, "Hey, I don't think I'm quite aware enough of the dumb expressions I make when I focus or of every little asymmetry of my face," then you should start making videos that require you to spend 7+ hours editing shots of said face.
Once you come to terms with it, it's liberating.
In other news, there's a chick on America's Next Top Model this season with ptosis. I feel this is an important topic.
7+ hours editing shots is ridiculous, and very rarely actually worth the effort. Along the same page of a saying a good friend and I share between each other, "Life is just more fun when you don't give a shit." Liberating, indeed.
Important topic, or fashion statement? There is just something high fashion about ptosis. They say there's a surgery you can get to correct it but I say, rock it. It's all the rage this season.
This was pretty cute. You're a better bass player than Nataly, I think. The banjo LOOK was halarious. Loved your guitar. I've never seen that style. Pretty cool. I wanted to see more card tricks. The tennis racket got boring fast. Loved the visual rhythm you created at the very end. Wanted to see it during all of the previous choruses. 5 stars! Marius
lol.. don't fight it. It's you. IMHO.... I'll take yer originals over a cover anyday.. give ourself some credit girl....!! Levers and Gears...probably won't be appreciated in your lifetime...lol.. get over it... Lonely at the top... I wish you the best....... D
Oh man. Never heard of it until I googled it just now. Sounds intense! Does it count if I just copy-paste The Red Badge of Courage into a text document and put my name at the bottom?
Oh it's absolutely ridiculous, and yet I'm still doing it. Too much caffeine and not enough sleep. I think they'd absolutely bend the rules for you since you heard about it late.
nice multi-tasking...you're really quite charming! ...but did you know that, especially when playing banjo, your left eye is sort of droopy while your right has a quasi-maniacal glare to it? It's the intense concetration, I imagine. Anyway, great job
TERRIBLE, PISS POOR VID, GO HOME, SHUT UP, DON'T EVER SING AGAIN!!!
No but I really like your songs and your covers. I wish I could recommend a song for you to sing and have you sing it, but that is a slim chance.5 star vid though, I always see singers who play instrument to be more talented than singer-only.
Wonderful , why haven't you put the lyrics up for this?
