Q-Tip - Gettin’ Up from Q-Tip on Vimeo.

I’ve been waiting years for the Kamaal album to drop. Apparently it’s been streaming online for 3 years now.

Dawn Chorus: Oh Please from Sean Coon on Vimeo.

Dawn Chorus has a music video! A big shout of thanks to Aaron Aadland and Justin Sale for shooting and Jason Pierce for shooting, directing and editing the video. Apparently, it got a bit tricky with the overdubbing, but the final product looks great.

(extra thanks to Andy for framing the open/closing sequences at the last minute)

Some serious looking cats, no?

I’m absolutely stoked that my brother, Micah and Blake are shooting next week’s show. We’ve had some extremely talented filmmakers contribute to the project up til now, but these guys make “visually stunning” sound like a piss poor compliment.

Check out the trailer for their film, Dogs of Chinatown:

Now imagine Grilled Cheese Jesus shot by these guys.

I can’t wait.

Arrest The President!!

Who is the man with the master plan
To smash Iran and then snatch they land?
They stashed Sadaam in the back of a van
Bin Laden chillin up in Amsterdam
They shoulda got him back in Afghanistan
They didn’t want him, Haliburton had to handle
Huge oil rigs to feed spoiled kids
Show Bush what unemployment is
Fire him right now. For lying, tie him down!
Put him in handcuffs and send him to Rykers Isle
For giving away his frequent flyer miles
To terrorist relatives on 9/12, flying them out
The truth is out. No denying it now
Because of the president, next to die is your child
Because the man who attacked us has never been captured
And matter of fact, uh, he used to back the
President, Bush, both old and new
With so much money that they didn’t know what to do
Except greed for more, make em bleed for oil
Give money to the rich and never feed the poor
USA’s “under seige” like Steven Segal
By a man who can’t even count from three to four
And if I get shot just for speakin to ya’ll
Arrest George Bush - That’ll even the score

ARREST THE PRESIDENT!

Politics, polished tricks
Secret societies in colleges
Home security, more impurities
Little kids cry, “Mommy George is scarin me!”
Home invasions in all these nations
What goes around comes around - Immigration
Each press statement’s a fabrication
A political porno with penetration
This generation needs integration
Education, But yet we’re facing
Inflation, high priced medication
Revelations - Jesus save him
Get him outta bed, he don’t need vacation
Hit him on the head, make him leave Camp David
Paybacks for ignoring threats from terrorists?
Yo… ARREST THE PRESIDENT!

Modern day art by YouTube user, blimvisible:

They made a statue of us
And it put it on a mountain top
Now tourists come and stare at us
Blow bubbles with their gum
Take photographs for fun, for fun

They’ll name a city after us
And later say it’s all our fault
Then they’ll give us a talking to
Then they’ll give us a talking to
Because they’ve got years of experience
We’re living in a den of thieves
Rummaging for answers in the pages
We’re living in a den of thieves
And it’s contagious
And it’s contagious
And it’s contagious
And it’s contagious

We wear our scarves just like a noose
But not ’cause we want eternal sleep
And though our parts are slightly used
New ones are slave labor you can keep

We’re living in a den of thieves
Rummaging for answers in the pages
We’re living in a den of thieves
And it’s contagious
And it’s contagious
And it’s contagious
And it’s contagious

They made a statue of us
They made a statue of us
The tourists come and stare at us
The sculptor’s marble sends regards
They made a statue of us
They made a statue of us
Our noses have begun to rust
We’re living in a den of thieves
Rummaging for answers in the pages
Were living in a den of thieves

And it’s contagious
And it’s contagious
And it’s contagious
And it’s contagious
And it’s contagious
And it’s contagious
And it’s contagious
And it’s contagious

Possum Jenkins evoked some DBT at the show last night.

Still glowing.
