You should help this wonderful CA singer and her friend Corey kickstart a music video. It will warm the cockles of your heart!

Without a head he can’t sing But he can play a tune So sad a soul, so sweet a song Too...

The Help Collaboration
Based on Joe’s recent remarks on creating a proper tutorial for new HitRecorders, I have established this collaboration so as to collect all of the work we’re all doing for it. Because we all should do some work for it.

Dream Documentary Highlights Thus Far
Joe’s recent update got me all riled up for this Dream documentary.
My work thus far: Free Falling: A semi-surreal lecture on what happens when you take gravity straight-up without a chaser.
Dreaming in First Person: It’s not usually my modus operandi to tweak music digitally, but this collaboration calls for it. Thus, I create this instrumental oddity. It’s based on one of...

Several months ago, Metaphorest posted this devious little poem, and I knew I just had to sing it. So here’s the product. Sounds like something I would have sung at summer camp.
Patti Smith's Advice to Young Artists in NYC:...

twentyfourbit:
Patti Smith’s contribution to and influence on American rock music is incalculable, particularly with respect to New York City. In a talk/performance with Jonathan Lethem on Saturday night, however, Smith dropped a relatively surprising quote about the plight of modern up-and-coming artists hailing from the city she helped establish as a musical mecca to some.
