A first draft of a video compiling several of the RECords from the Occupy collab so far.

I LOVE that wirrow added videolala to the collab. It's really the perfect song for this movement. I chose to do this more music video style to let the lyrics speak for themselves. Anyway, I hope this can be useful as part of a bigger piece or perhaps to give someone else an idea:) Already I've seen a bunch more RECords that could be added. Also, I was trying to figure out how to make the O in occupy at the end look like a RECord button and I couldn't :( 

I sure hope I got all the image REsources. Let me know if I missed anything.

AND NOW, FOR SOME EXCITING NEWS! Levi's® is coming on board through the end of the year to support the hitRECord community and help us share our art more broadly than ever before. Check out this video for more. I'm super-stoked about it!

Levi's® has quite a history of supporting innovative art and artists. I'm honored that hitRECord and our community are joining the long list of artists that Levi's has collaborated with, which include Shephard Fairey, The Andy Warhol Foundation, Damien Hirst, and James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem.

2012 is shaping up to be a pretty busy year for hitRECord. Later in the year we're doing a mini tour of our Live Shows with the support of Levi's. They are also going to be distributing our more polished videos far and wide on the Interwebs. And not only that, we'll all be collaborating to create a limited edition piece of art together.

And as a result of this collaboration, we'll be able to pay our contributing artists way more than we've ever been able to before!

Thanks Again!

What a beaming smile! I think Samuel is happy with his portrait. Even though it's probably his first, I think he's gorgeous.

Thanks to Danah and applecore44 for the awesome images!

lyrics:

I saw the moon explode tonight

It was the most beautiful sight

Pieces of gold light were everywhere

Under your sore feet and in your hair

Soon I began to hunt and gather

In search of every trace of moon matter

The night the moon said "Boom!"

I said, "Darlin', don't be sad"

I'll rebuild the world we once had

One by one I'll glue it together

So we may lay underneith, always and forever

If by chance I can't, then we'll pretend

And create the illusion of suns old friend

The night the moon said "Boom!"
