Amateur

Here’s an awesome video my friend Mark sent over. It’s like audio-visual sampling, just great. And the guy actually can’t play the drums or piano.

It’s titled “Amateur” and it’s by Lasse Gjertsen.

New tracks up, old tracks down. Thank you, MySpace.

Have a couple of new songs up on projet M.U.’s myspace page, as well as on the website. The two tracks will be on a forthcoming 7-track ep, which we will be available soon.

I know I may sound like Mr Bitter saying this, but I continue to take issue with MySpace. The 4-track policy makes some sense, but, quite frankly, once you get past one release, you want to keep older songs and not create new MySpace accounts for them.

And the thing is that this policy is malleable. The other day, I checked out The Shins’ myspace page and they’ve got their whole album posted.

Why them? And why were they prominently featured on MySpace’s main page for a few months?

Someone’s probably paying up. So much for the “independent” artist.

But alas.

All I’m hoping for is that Damien Rice decides to promote his brilliant 9 album the same way the producers of 300, the movie, did a little while back. What they did is made it possible for people to post up to 300 photos (before it was something like 12), ant Tom made the pleasant announcement to all of us…and we supposedly all ran to see the movie.
