6 Words

Over the summer, I found myself in the fine state of Washington for the 3rd time. This time I was there with a purpose; my cousin & dear friend, Anne, was getting married. During the reception, which took place mere feet from the Pacific Ocean, I roamed around with my video camera. I asked the guests for 6 words for the bride & groom. In many cases, I didn’t get exactly 6, but I did get to make a fun little video. I hope you enjoy it.

Please remember that you can find me on Vimeo over at Hyphen Home Movies.

Stuff You Should Listen To: Chapter 3

I simply cannot hype this guy enough. Astronautalis is a performer in a genre of his own creation, lately referred to as “Historical Fiction Hip Hop.” Astronautalis is an indy rapper, a signer, a theatrical performer, and an all around nice guy to talk to. His stage show is engaging and he can spin a solid 10 minute freestyle so comprehensive it will break you.

Astronautalis recently finished touring around the country to promote his new album This Is Our Science, which came out earlier in the fall. Here is one of the singles from that album. I encourage everyone, go check out all of his albums. I honestly cannot pick out a favorite.

Stuff You Should Listen To: Chapter 2

Last week, Doomtree released their latest album No Kings. Doomtree is a hip hop collective from Minneapolis, consisting of 5 MCs (Sims, Dessa, Mike Mictlan, Cecil Otter and POS) and 2 producers (Lazerbeak and Paper Tiger). Each member typically performs solo, but when they get together there is an amazing mesh of styles. No Kings touts an impressive variety of beats and lyrics. If you even have the faintest interest in rap or hip hop, I would recommend picking up this album.

Here is one of the singles from No Kings, and probably one of three of my favorite songs.

Stuff You Should Listen To: Chapter 1

As mentioned, I am pretty wrapped up with my new job, which is going well so far. No time for posters or video projects or photos or sarcastically written posts acting as a thinly veiled suicide note. Instead, please enjoy my new series, which I will be posting for the next few weeks.

This week, let’s discuss Macklemore, a rapper from Seattle. I was introduced to him through his song Irish Celebration, found below:

Recently, Macklemore has been been blowing up with his infectiously catchy single And We Danced, which has a music video that I can only really describe as “late 80s-tastic.”

You can check out more Macklemore on Amazon. His recent mixtapes are less than $5, short and to the point. For anyone in the Boston area, Macklemore will be at the Paradise Rock Club on Thursday December 8th.
