Wasted Potential Brass Band ~ crawfish boil

two "knock-off" beats

so here at work we have what we like to call "Demo Reels" aka "shzzle reels" or show reels or whatever.. they're basically video montages edited to some cool music that we use to display some work that we're proud of for our perspective clients. in 99.9999% of cases like this the music that's used for these things is normal licensed music that you would hear on the radio, spotify, itunes or whatever.. like actual real music (no needle-drop b.s.) .. well for whatever reason the legal dept ran through it and decided that we can't use that music because we could get sued.. so i volunteered to make a couple of versions that are "loosely inspired" by those tracks that we could edit to. one is "inspired" by the m83 song "midnight city" and one is "inspired" by the DJ shadow song "building steam with a grain of salt" ... in both cases these videos are going to be noticeably less cool than they were before but it's enough to get the legal department to leave us alone and go back to doing whatever it is they do from 9-5. here's what the new tracks sound like.

beat 1

beat 2

since they're .wav files it may take a sec to load. just like a fake gucci purse you get off the street corner? when the actual videos get posted i'll put a link up so you can see them in context. hope you dig it.

The Harlem Shake "Franchise Edition"

so if i were asked "have you ever participated in a harlem shake vid?" i would now have to say 'yes.'  but listen, it was for the kids..

this past weekend i came through the 'cuse for a little bit and got to hang with my little homie nate dogg.  we played some hoops, had a few dunk contests and made a shake video.  we nailed it in two takes, one for each shot.. basically we jay-z'ed that shoot.

nate dogg was in charge of costume design, and if you look in the back you can see mike d and dano.  it was as fun as it looked like it would be, so to all the H.S. haters out there: make one and then get back to us....
