All in Music
I’ve worked at the same company for awhile now and I’ve had the privilege of meeting a lot of really great people over the years. One of these individuals was a man named Andrew Dao. I got to know Andrew better over the week that he was in the office and kept in touch once he went remote. We recently reconnected via Facebook messenger and I discovered through our conversations that his mother was an amazing singer, I just had no idea how talented she really was.
My wife and I recently finished watching Ricky Gervais’ new series, “After Life” on Netflix. The first season follows a journalist at a small, local paper played by Gervais who recently lost his wife to a battle with cancer. He spends most of the season being mean to others and moping around. If that sounds depressing, it’s because it is, but in this really beautiful way.
Back in July of 2017, I did an interview on a musical project by my friend Shaun Gunnels. I grew up on his music as his local-turned-nation-wide band, “The Background” had some of the best pop-punk sounds around. Years later, he’s started a band called, “Southern Weather”.
I can’t believe how many great companies we have right here in Dallas. This past week I was reading an article on Dallas-based start ups and young companies around town and I came upon one that was particularly interesting called Musicbed. Their mission? Provide affordable music for filmmakers of all kinds.
Happy Halloween! This project was created out of my love for creepy, creative videos around YouTube and elsewhere. Here I showcase a remix of some of my favorite videos mixed with my own. This is an ode to expressive, horror art in digital form.
The past couple weeks I’ve been planning to make a rap song for my friend Neil, but I got hurt skating and then it kept raining and it seemed like it would never get done. I recorded the song last week, but there was still a video to be made. Get ready to see a half-assed production for a non-half-assed friendship. Happy Birthday, Neil!
