Thanksgiving 2008 dan RECorded me playing this. Now I mostly like it for his gentle "thank you" at the end.
He found it sort of incredible when I told him just how much music throughout space and time is all built around the same three chords. And, in fact, that the intervals of those chords' harmonies are suspiciously similar to the same golden intervals found in a snail's shell or the Milky Way's spiral.
For the origins of my -- and our -- attraction to that extreme and mean number known as Phi, here's ESCARGOTS ~~ http://hitrecord.org/records/9667
Well, he was determined to acquire a natural sense of said same three chords, and so, two years ago, before the holiday's family festivities began, he sat me down on his couch and asked me to play them. The teafaerie was there too; you can hear her camera beep at the end. It's no studio recording, and the guitar's not exactly in tune, but dan actually had a pretty high-quality portable audio recorder, and he couldn't hear small differences in pitch anyway ;op
After that, he listened to these couple minutes of audio more repetitively than I've ever seen anybody listen to anything. Especially when he was busy coding the v3 website for hitRECord. On his iTunes "playcount", where most songs have one or two "plays", and the second-highest song boasts a couple hundred, this record has several thousand.
thanks again <3

Hello again everyone...
Been a little while since my last REgularity and although I am not up to my full Regular self I really want to start focusing on some projects with you.
Firstly, lets remix fajigajiga's "The Anglerpod Votes" beautiful short animation piece into a brand spanking new short film.
Writers, write a story based on the imagery and actions of the anglerpod. Video Editors, lets RECut the original into a whole new visual narrative. Find out more at the collaboration I started here at http://hitrecord.org/records/269518
Next and most immediate, Jared, Marke and I have decided to make a "Tiny Book of Tiny Stories" to sell at our RECord store! We can keep writing and illustrating more tiny stories if you like, but what we really need is some solid curation of the ones that are already written. Lets go through wirrow's collaboration of Tiny Stories http://hitrecord.org/records/56986
and make an album of the one's that we believe should be in this beautiful book (text and images only). Then we will submit our album of Tiny Stories RECommendations to Marke's collaboration "Tiny Book of Tiny Stories. http://hitrecord.org/records/269395
Finally I just want to mention, there's been lots of great work happening around here while I've been away. It'll take me a while to catch up, but I'll get there. Particularly, the "saving stitchtown" collaboration is looking great, can't wait to get more involved myself.
Okay, it'll be a bit more time before I get back to weekly Regularity videos, and in the meantime, much thanks for all the love and support from this whole community.
Thanks again <3

Ladies and Gentlemen, I have some regrettable news regarding the FALL FORMAL. As you might know, these past two weeks have been the worst of my life. To those contributing tribute RECords re: my brother dan, you have my deepest gratitude. I’m eager to get back to work, but I also feel like I’ve just had an arm chopped off and so I’m finding myself less than capable these days. I’ve considered various possibilities on how to make the show happen another way – the Town Hall Theater has been so accommodating in figuring this out with us. But in the end, I just don’t feel up to it right now and have decided to cancel the show. If it’s any consolation, we hitRECorders can take heart in knowing that our production was on-track to selling all 1500 tickets – a victory in itself well worthy of ice cream. Chin up, there’s still much to do and a bright future ahead. Thanks again... <3 J PS. Ticketmaster will send an automatic notice to email and phone purchasers. A notification message that their creditcard accounts will be credited with a full refund. It takes about, 48 hours to show up on most credit-card statements. You can call ticketmaster at 800-982-2787 for more information. |

Hello Ladies and Gents!!!
Yep that's right we got another show to do, and this time it's a big one!.
So let's get ready ........
Find out here what you can contribute for hitRECord.org's FALL FORMAL.
We are calling all writers to jump in on couple big projects.
Fake Histories are getting really good, so let's keep making them.
I really like fredwatford's "Road to Fall Formal" collab, so let's all shoot ourselves getting dressed up fancy style like we are going to the theatre, and then we can REmix them into something really cool.
And let's check out Nebulullaby and add some new things to it.
Tickets are selling hot... and this venue is no joke.... so it's a great sign of how things are going pretty good for us!
So keep up the good work and let's put on a show!!!
Thanks again,
J

My video tribute to Dan. I really like LizzieMackie's song, so i used it, and at the end I really wanted to show Joe and Dan together, I thought it'd be appropriate.
Dan, this is for you! You will burn on in all of our lives especially through hitRECord. Thank you for all you've done! You truly were an inspiration to all of us!
Again by heart <3 (REupload)

BURNING dAN brightly embodied that bold beastly bliss sometimes referred to as "the creative spirit." He was my chief collaborator on the foundational incarnations of hitRECord.org over the years and continues to inspire us ever the more. He would absolutely positively insist that we not let this bad news deter us on our collective mission. That said, I might not feel up to it for a little while. Watching this community blossom into what it has become never ceased to amaze him and me. We would regularly marvel at it and high five. Thank you all for that. There he is now pouring heaping hollowed watermelons full of love over each and every one of us. Let's celebrate him, he's fucking awesome: http://www.hitrecord.org/records/234697 See you real soon, thanks again... <3 |
