It’s finally out! Buy Final Cut X on the Mac App Store.

Double Feature takes up a lot of time. Michael and I always plan these other projects, but we just don’t have time to complete them before Double Feature starts kicking our ass again. We move the work around (year planning, mixing, research, etc) in a such a way that we have little vacations for ourselves [...]

I just finished a live music video for the Glittermouse song Porn Stars and Promises (We’re in Love). You can stream it from YouTube here: You can also download the video directly. I shot the song with Rob Cornell on February 3rd. It was a spur of the moment kind of thing. I borrowed a [...]

Gorillaz released their new album “The Fall” yesterday, and it’s free. If that isn’t enough to make me go crazy, they also recorded the entire thing on an iPad. Inside the album artwork pdf they include credits to all the iPad apps they used to make the album. Speak It! $1.99SoundyThingie $2.99Mugician FREESolo Synth* $14.99Crystal [...]

I play a lot of thought experiments out in my head. I don’t think a day goes by where I don’t think “what would I do in X situation? Then what if Y happened?” For me these little experiments have become a large part of how I determine right from wrong. I think about what [...]

After six long years, LOST has finally ended. I’ve been thinking a lot about the ending…trying to convince myself it wasn’t a huge waste of time. Unfortunately there’s no real way to do that. While the episode was emotionally satisfying, it was intellectually offensive. The “flash sideways” in each episode of the last season was [...]

The other day I found this spectacular short film series called Bright Falls. It’s a six episode viral series that’s been compared to David Lynch’s work (specifically Twin Peaks) as well as the X-Files and the creepier moments of Lost. Noticing there wasn’t a very comprehensive place to figure out exactly what Bright Falls is, [...]

If you listen to the show or pop over here once in a while, you’re probably heard/seen me joke about Uptown. It used to actually be funny, but I think it’s started to have a serious effect on my overall feelings about humanity. I first moved to the worst neighborhood on the northeast side a [...]

I don’t write about music a lot because bands tend to really disappoint me. If you want to find challenging art that’s really doing something interesting, it seems that musicians have all but given up. I thought the new Gorillaz album would be the most interesting thing happening in music this this quarter. I’m excited [...]

I’ve been on a long beak from everything. I haven’t touched anything even bordering on artistic (besides Double Feature?) since I started a mad dash to pay off my student loan. Yesterday I wrote my lender a huge check, and long boring story short – I’m finally free of student debt. The repercussions of my [...]
