In honor of Martin Luther King Day, I’m taking the afternoon off work to go work on the DVD and posting this mash-up done by Beat’s Antique of MLK and Michael Jackson. The tracks is far more relevant today than when they first produced it. I think it came out even before MJ’s passing. Oddly prophetic in retrospect.

You can download the free track: here
Also, the track is the soundtrack to the video posted below.

Our DVD editor, Robb Pope, just signed up to do some editing for Beat’s Antique. I’m excited to see what comes of that project.

A public service announcement from Rich:
The font they use at the beginning of this video clip is called Bleeding Cowboy. Listen people…. this font is OFFICIALLY PLAYED OUT! Please refrain from using this font in any future graphic design projects. I used it myself last year for the Gold Rush Campout and loved it. Having used it myself, I became acutely aware of how over used it has become. Let it rest people. Please.

53 – Sidecar, Brecken Demo for Hoop Technique

Last night Spiral, Lauren and I headed over to Brecken’s new place at the Vulcan to video her demo footage for the Hoop technique DVD. Brecken is loving the Vulcan so far and the place seems to fit her well. She has put a lot of work into polishing up her private space, even installing a brand new hardwood floor and giving it a slick new paint job. It’s great that we have another hooper immersed in the depth of the Vulcan tech approach to object manipulation.

While sitting in one of the Vulcan courtyards, we were talking to Sidecar Tommy of Beat’s Antique. I mentioned digging the “53 – Sidecar” track that he had posted on Soundcloud. (http://soundcloud.com/tracks/search?q=53+-+sidecar ) He asked which version I was talking about, his version or MiMosa’s. Although I posted the track here a week or two ago, I hadn’t realized that there are two versions of the song. This morning I looked it up and here they are. I appreciate being able to see the track in progress. Can’t wait to buy a copy once it is actually released.

At the moment, I think I dig Tommy’s version just a bit more than MiMosa’s but both are killer. They describe it nicely, the track is “pretty and dirty.”
