Other Lives Music Video

Yesterday we shot a music video for a new song called Dust Bowl Drone. We were very fortunate to meet Shaun Peterson in LA after our Henry Fonda show with Bat for Lashes and he had expressed an interest in doing some video work for us....We took him up on it. As a result, we made two new friends in the process, Shaun and Joline Towers. Make sure you check out Shaun's work Here. His production company is called Grandpa Jones Productions. We will be posting a making the video clip soon......so you can see how red our noses were from the cold and how weak we looked from hauling the piano in the picture above from field to field. The shoot really couldn't have gone any better.....we got some snow at the end of the day.

Basketball Diaries

There’s this newly added column made of two by fours in the studio that keeps the roof from caving in, and this week we found an additional use for it. We took my old djembe (it was a gift, I swear) which has a broken head and tied it to the column to make a basketball goal. See, we have all these mini basketballs around the studio because every time Jesse goes to the gas station down the street he plays the prize grabber game thing and wins a basketball every single time. He’s a pro. Anyway, Jesse and I had some pretty heated games today. We play best out of 10 from the line, and trash talking is definitely aloud. I’m not going to say who won today, because that would come across as bragging. Ryan (our neighbor from Colourmusic) came over today and said he was ‘glad that someone finally made good use of a djembe.’

Despite the new basketball goal, we’ve gotten a lot done. We just wrapped up a song today so we're feeling pretty good.
