Lucky Dog Audio Post

I don't know what I like more about this video, the sounds of the Buchla Music Easel or the look of 16:9 720p High Definition format shot using a Letus35 Extreme and a 35mm LensBaby 3GPL! Awesomeness all around.

In yet another attempt to squeeze entertainment from our celebrated Sleeve Face gallery, here's some select tracks that we've faithfully transfered from the vinyl discs that we found hiding within the cardboard, record sleeves that we held in front of our faces.

Put more simply, here's the music from the Sleeve Faces:

Lucky Dog Muxtape*

* This mix covers page one of our gallery - Arto Lindsay to Neil Young.

Really it's not a bad mix. There' some folk music and some rock and some folk rock. As far as music genres go, there's something for everyone, unless you are looking for:

alt-country, ambient, blues, britpop, celtic, chill, classical, country, darkwave, doom metal, down tempo, drone, drum and bass, dub, dubstep, electronica, emo, folk metal, funk, garage, goth, gothic metal, grindcore, grunge, hard rock, hardcore, heavy metal, hip hop, house, idm, indie, indie pop, indie rock, industrial, j-pop, j-rock, japanoise, jazz, jazz-metal, metal, metalcore, minimal, new age, nu metal, pop punk, post-ambient, post-hardcore, post-punk, post-rock, power metal, progressive metal, punk, r&b, rap, reggae, sadcore, shoegaze, ska, soul, soundtrack, symphonic metal, synthpop, techno, trance, trash metal, or trip hop.

An early and extremely catchy reminder - Mother's Day is next Sunday, May 11.

Finally, after four days straight, the new R.E.M. song is NOT playing in my head. Particularly the chorus of the new R.E.M. song, Supernatural Superserious (Album Version). I think it is Mike Mills' background vocals that make this thing so sticky.

What follows in a blockquote reenactment of the aforementioned chorus. I'd link to an mp3 BUT then you'd have the same trouble as me.

Stipe: And you cried and you cried,

Mills: Ahh ahh AHH Ahh ahh. . .

Stipe: You survived, you survived.

Mills: Ahh ahh AHH Ahh ahh. . .

Stipe: Yeah you cried and you cried and you cried and you cried.

Well, the blockquote reenactment really doesn't do it justice, so follow this link if you dare.

This is a funny time of year. Some days, posts that look real turn out to be a joke, and then things that look like a joke turn out to be real.. like this!

The Leningrad Cowboys, with the Red Army Chorus, booming out Lynyrd Skynyrd finest. Oh my, this is the perfect day-after-April-fools-day rock and roll.

Behold!

Here's a little something for the synesthesia set — The Sound of Color is a project/website where 5 musicians and/or bands were instructed to write songs based on certain colors. Said songs were made into music videos and so forth and so on (artist interviews, making-of-the-video videos). Where will the content end? I say all colors bleed into one.

And now, a moment to salute friends of Lucky Dog, the Boondogs. This footage is from their appearance last year on AETN Presents, visually tweaked by Boondog percussionist Dylan Field.

Not only do we love the songwriting team of Grotto and Weinheimer, but our partnership with Weinheimer's Sellout Music lets us do great custom music work for our clients. Check out the Sellout reel here.

Plus, Charles is much cooler in black and white than in real life.

Also, a big shout out to two more friends of the Dog, Adam and Jordan, dancing like maniacs in silhouette. Shepherds in the house!

Ethel Smith sure could tear up a Hammond organ.

BTW one has to assume that the 360 degree crane shot near the end of this clip is for the benefit of getting a full view of her hairdo.

Here's a holiday song I haven't heard before. "Kung Fu Christmas" was written by Christopher Guest and Paul Shafer for National Lampoon Radio Hour in 1974. Of course this was the same year that the Carl Douglas's song "Kung Fu Fighting" was a big hit. Now, why would someone want to parody the song "Kung Fu Fighting?"
