doin' shit

i'm this weekend shooting a video for sam (tone pony) to his new jam 'brighter'

this is the first music video i've done in like 10 months when i did 'asleep at the trigger', i feel like the pressure is on for me to make something good. hopefully this will come out the way i got it envisioned in my head.

anyways, i finally heard the new cobra starship album... umm what happened? the first 4 songs are legit then it kinda turns into a band hip-hop wannabe 80s pop album. ok ok i know cobra is a joke but the first album didn't suck at all. although viva does have gabes usual slick lyrics so thats a plus but musically it sucks. i think this has alot to do with gabe now having a band and not him playing everything like last time... its good but its not great and when gabe is writing the songs you can only expect album of the year stuff (fwyk anyone?!), and he didn't do it here. viva la cobra is 3/5, and i'm being nice with that. i'm interested in seeing how they even plan to play these songs live, maybe a good live show will sway how i feel about viva la cobra.

however, i am looking forward to jaguar love's debut, if you know its johnny whitney from the blood brothers' new band. its so good, kinda like a mix of neon blonde and the bb's last album "young machetes"

so i guess i am doing some music reviews again. i suppose ill do stuff worth mentioning.

velvet teen next weekend in nyc! get excited!
