I found this session from last June where I was trying to come up with a musical "tag" using the line "Fashion Without Limits" (didn't write the line but kind of love it). This was my very first attempt. I will string together a "best of" of all my attempts and upload it too, as many are very funny (but somehow all bad)!  ┐('～`；)┌

"Fashion Without Limits" [Brainstorming Session for Musical Tag] <<<BAD

All of my best tries to make a musical tag for the phrase "fashion without limits" (June, 2010) Just couldn't do it. We only dared to show the clients one of these (the last one?) and they were scared to show THEIR clients. Don't know what was up with me but now they'll have a second life here on soundcloud. \m/*.*\m/

"Fashion Without Limits" Tagline Demo Reel <<<BAD

Slave Labor Bop

FREE!

X-Ray Spex cover made for the anime fight scene in B-17: A Mini-Epic. During the performance piece I used to just mime-fight to the original recording and a strobe light. For the movie, I wanted to do all the music myself but I also knew that there was no way to write a better song for the situation than this one, so I covered it. This was technically produced by Arturo b/c although I recorded all the parts, I did not know how to make a multi-track audio session at this time. He put it together for me in the actual editing program (Discreet Logic Fire). 

Be sure to check out the track video!

Oh Bondage! Up Yours!

2005 with Max Waxman! Uploaded in celebration of my new Musik & Plus cassette, http://plustapes.com/?p=759 ///  This track opens Side B! 

Max played casio beats while I played Moog...fun times, just playing around and recording with a Tascam 4-track.

!>>Can't help but give this disclaimer: he is the one making all those "brrrrrrr" mouth sounds and if I could I would fucking get rid of them now, but it's waaay too late.

$amba! (w/ Biz Caj)

inter.?

I wrote the first few lines in a dream, but didn't realize they were about Dolly till 2 years later when we were working on post-production for the movie. The rest of the words came to me in the Subway that day...very exciting day!

Dolly's Song

one of my first 4-track recordings, late summer 2005??

Conspicuous Consumption

Once again a longer improvisation that only made it into the movie as one small section.  (2:42 on "track video")

The entire piece was used in interstitial manifesto .003


Sparkly Swamp

This is an homage to 'Basketball Jones' by Cheech &amp; Chong*. http://youtu.be/JIbp5C-5WXM

I wrote it in 2010, released a version of it on my 'Musik &amp; Plus' cassette in 2011 and now 'finalized' it for the music video, which Arturo Cubacub &amp; I started in 2010 but kept abandoning, maybe b/c it really has no concept, haha. Anyway it's out now [track video] :)

On New Years Eve in 2009 (fuck), I looked up this Basketball Jones video b/c I remembered it from the movie 'Being There' and it always stuck with me! I had no idea it was Cheech &amp; Chong, I thought it was Fat Albert!! Anyway I didn't do shit that night but watch Basketball Jones over and over. The next day I was singing it but replaced "Basketball Jones" with "Opiate Girl" (something a boy had called me). Anyway Arturo thought it was funny and said that should be our next video so... yeah....

I will never ever ever ever ever release a song or video so late that I am already over it. Ever. Again.

Enjoy xo

*Basketball Jones is actually a parody of 'Love Jones' by Brighter Side of Darkness. http://youtu.be/KCF6IkMmmpY so yes it's a rich tradition; someone should do a cover or parody of mine! :D

Opiate Girl

The music of B-17: A Mini- Epic (The Wacky Adventures of a 17-Year-Old Sex Slave!)



Songs and sounds from the film + longer tracks and improvisations that only made it in as little samples.



I Thought You Were Asleep!

this is the "sweep" version used in the movie.

thinking of also uploading the "no sweep" version (melody punches a little nicer in places).

the melody is based on the end of a DNA song, "Little Ants" (Robin Crutchfield keyboard part)
