Everything is a Remix, Part I

This video is done very well. Check it out if you have an interest in art appropriation, in particular, of the musical variety.

Remixing is a folk art but the techniques involved — collecting material, combining it, transforming it — are the same ones used at any level of creation. You could even say that everything is a remix.

No Excuses

Samuel Febres — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 13:07:06 +0000

When I see this, I’m embarrassed at myself for every excuse I’ve ever made in life. This dude is going hard and he’s got it harder than most of us but he’s not letting that get in the way. Wow.

World Cup fever is upon is. How can you tell? The sound of Vuvuzela horns coming from South Africa, that’s how. The USA slipped past England, quite literally with a tie. Here’s a quick video to commemorate the event. Robert Green just let one slip right by him into the goal which gave the USA a tie against England (England was highly favored to win the match).

Enjoy.

It’s their fault for bringing their kids into a battle

With the advance in technology, these soldiors could not tell the man was carrying a camera?

“It’s their fault for bringing their kids into a battle.”

Despicable. I cannot think of anything else to say not only for the actions, but for the attitudes and contempt for life. I did not see a battle in this video. I saw a massacre.

Sweet Dreams

Samuel Febres — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 18:25:23 +0000

I’m not one to normally ‘have’ dreams so when one comes along and I wake up remembering it, I’m usually pretty excited about it.

Last night’s dream was definitely one of the more memorable and exciting ones I have had in a long time.

Here are the details I remember.

In the dream, something happened or something I did (I can’t remember or didn’t know) caused me to start getting chased by these guys (I think there were 3 of them) with swingable (bat-like) objects.

I was able to get away safely from them, and arrived at Peter Boulware’s house where he let me in and I met with a couple of other guys. Once I got there I discovered that the guys who were chasing me, had decided to go to my house and take Natalie hostage. They held her and a small party of people hostage in my house because they could not find me.

I was briefly able to speak with Natalie and I told her not to worry and that we would get them soon and to not tell the guys anything.

We then began plotting on how to rescue the hostages inside Peter’s house. Then I woke up.

So that was my dream.

The last movie I saw was Shutter Island(youtube trailer), because I’m sure a few of you might be thinking to ask me what I last saw. I watched it on Thursday night, 3 nights ago.

So, have you had any strange dreams lately?

Armistice (Live from The Armistice Tour Japan) by @MUTEMATH

Samuel Febres — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 05:00:17 +0000

I love this song. It’s the title track from MUTEMATH’s album, Armistice
. I really enjoyed hearing it live in Atlanta last fall when I caught them there. It was a little weird at first listen, but it had a great jam and groove. I love what they did with it in a live setting.

MUTEMATH is definitely a live band. Their albums are great and I have loved them all, but if you haven’t seen them perform live, you’re really missing out on a great show, teamwork and musicianship.

Check out the video below of Armistice from their Japan tour.

Lazy Sunday: Drawing with Sam

Samuel Febres — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 01:33:47 +0000

Inspired by Shelby’s tweet, I made a drawing. Which then led to Nat asking me how she could do that, so I showed her. Then she made these drawing 1 and 2, which made me slightly regret showing her how to make a drawing. Then I made another drawing, well, because it was fun and a lazy Sunday afternoon. This is the process. The final product is below. Enjoy.

Verizon is Bringing the Heat against AT&T

Samuel Febres — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 14:00:36 +0000

Wow, these are some great commercials.

I’m neither an ATT or Verizon subscriber (Sprint), but this is going to be fun to watch. Apparently, ATT has sued Verizon, not because what they’re saying isn’t true (because it is actually), but because they claim that it makes them look like they have no service in the white areas of the map. Seems to me like they’re grasping for straws. It’s pretty obviously that Verizon is talking about 3G coverage only here.

The Tabernacle: Mute Math in Atlanta on a Friday Night

Samuel Febres — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 13:29:55 +0000

Nat and I had the awesome privilege of going to see MUTEMATH play in Atlanta, Georgia this past weekend at a great venue called The Tabernacle. It’s an old church that was converted into a nice concert hall. Probably one of the coolest ones I’ve ever been to or seen.

Because we got our tickets a few months back as part of an album pre-order/VIP promotion, we received a ‘First in Line’ pass which allowed us to get in a little early to the show before other folks and have some pizza and drinks, and buy stuff without the crowds if we wanted to.

This worked out great because Nat and I were able to get a great spot near the front of the stage. You couldn’t ask for a better spot to enjoy the show.

I didn’t bring my camera like I usually do, and only took a few photos with the cell phone, so I don’t really have anything to share, but I couldn’t resist filming something, so near the end of the show, I pulled out a little portable camera that my dad let me borrow and filmed a song called Reset and another part of the show where Darren King (the drummer) stands on top of a floor tom that is being held up by the crowd, and then jumps back into the crowd and crowd surfs. All that happened within 3 feet of me. Pretty cool.

Check out the videos below and let me know what you think. If you haven’t heard of MUTEMATH, check out their new album, Armistice on itunes or Amazon.com. It’s a great album, and definitely, if they’re coming anywhere near you, make sure you get tickets to enjoy the show… or do like me, and drive 5 hours to another city to do so.

Oh, also, we found out that they were filming the show for a DVD, if it all works out. I was in front of the camera man quite a few times, as was my better half, so there’s quite the possibility that we might make it on the DVD. Very cool stuff.

Funny quote from the video:

“Oh my god! I’m never gonna wash these hands again! I’m never gonna wash these hands again.”

I find Jay Z to feel/look a little awkward, but it’s an interesting collaboration, and an interesting song to do it on. Thoughts?
