Chin up lil’ unemployed blogger. Things will improve, I’m sure of it.
Maybe you should check out INTERVIEW PROJECT to see what other folks are doing to earn a buck, or to just pass the time. It’s one part StoryCorps, one part Behind The Wheel, one part FSA Project and a billion parts beautiful. The online documentary series is directed and edited by Austin Lynch, who I had the great pleasure of meeting while working on the set of There Will Be Blood. I hope to see more of his work in the future. Interview Project is quiet, poetic and just plain pretty. New episodes are posted every three days. I hope you will like it as much as I do. People ARE fascinating.
My unemployment benefits run out in less than a month. Fuck. I scour for jobs everyday. Either I’m overqualified or underqualified. The jobs I do find that I am perfect for never come through. I rarely get a call or an e-mail back about anything. I have no idea what to do. Should I work at Burger King? (I wouldn’t work at McDonald’s… just because I don’t like their food.) Should I sell shit? I can’t see myself selling anything related to music, i.e. turntables, records, CD’s. So, if anyone out there has any ideas or jobs or leads about jobs… it would be greatly appreciated. Meanwhile, I do get to listen to a lot of music while I am sending out resumes… here are some choice cuts…
I love when I stumble upon beautiful and inspiring things when I’m not even looking for them. I was on Vimeo this morning, searching for a video clip to reference for a work related project, when I came across Fredo Viola’s video for Sad Song. He’s a multi-media artist/animator/filmmaker/musician who I believe is based in New York. You can see and hear more of his work on his very cool experimental/experiential website, The Turn
Maybe. Maybe I’ve just been too busy looking for jobs. Or maybe I’ve been re-organizing my whole music collection. Or perhaps I was away in Austin, TX. But, most likely, I am just lazy and uninspired as of late.
That doesn’t suffice for an excuse. So, here’s some music. Pfft.
This website takes video watchng to a new level. Try it with this great video for Animal Collective’s Summertime Clothes (directed by my former classmate/trusty boom operator, Danny Perez). I recommend going full screen.
PS – sorry that our mp3 links are down. our file sharing site is the worst!
Saw these guys open for Here We Go Magic a little while back. I only caught the last two songs of their set, but I really liked them. In fact, I liked them more than Here We Go Magic (who were pretty disappointing live).
It’s a long weekend. Not that it matters much to me. It’s just another weekend. And I don’t get mail on Monday. Pfft. Ahh wells. Here are some good old songs to remember.
