these days

jackson browne cover.

on campus has been great and laid back. i need to crack down for large and small animal, though.

how come you never go there?

i spent a month away from playing the guitar. needless to say, this was rough.

Zoo rotation has wrapped up. It was quite a diverse experience. I'm not sure how much I can get into on the blog, but overall, I had a good time. Onto surgery. Ahhh.

Radiohead-Fake Plastic Trees
This is one of my favorites

Big bird in a small cage cover

Zoo rotation!
It's been so exciting. I got to witness, among other things: radiography on a giraffe, witnessing a koala upclose (it was POOPING, and guys, it was cute).

PBL

So who knows why blogspot stopped working, but blogspot, you have been OUTSOURCED.

Anyway, this was actually a cover before my KILLER SUNDAY.

8/6/11
Hahah, I've wanted to cover this song, but it was awkward. However, now I can proudly dedicate this song to Momo, who for all intents and purposes is now my son? Kinda?
MOMO. Twenty years from now, we'll sit down and share a beer; it'll be no bigs. I'll tell you how I picked you up and found tapeworms. IT WAS PAIN.


I have an outtake for this vid (not to imply that I tried many times cause this masterpiece you see here was my second attempt. Which explains. Everything). Anyway, I want to post the outtake at a certain point in time because Momo is on the chair at the beginning, and it's cute. Only, once I go to sit and play, I look like the worst person ever cause it looks like either
1. I've sat on Momo or
2. I've callously kicked him off the chair without even looking
BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT REALLY HAPPENED, see he was still on the chair for at least a minute into the video, cuddling. But yeah that outtake will never be loaded.



KILLER SUNDAY
This is dedicated to Bobby (along with Crossfire which somehow was the last video to ever make it up on Blogspot, RIP).

This one is truly atrocious, but I'm too lazy to refilm it. Also, the star maker said it ain't so bad. But the star maker is also full of it.


Wait! Did I tell you that I've got soul, but I'm not a soldier? I'm not sure if I had said this before now.

KILLERS FOR BABBY

Blogspot is having a LOT of trouble uploading/processing videos. WHAT HAVE I DONE TO DESERVE THIS?

This one is rough

Last day of break!
It's drizzling outside so this is ESPECIALLY appropriate.
My covers get worse and worse with time, but it can't be helped.

Janelle Monae: Oh, Maker

Skinny Love, Skinny Kittens, Fat Arms

Forgive the lopsided tank, hulking farmer's tan arms, and general bad posture. I would redo it if I cared enough. Side tangent: my mom visited yesterday and halfway through her story, she stopped mid-sentence and jabbed at my arms, saying "so fat." My mom supports positive body image.

Also this is proof that kittens are the answer to all life's woes. WOES.

I might redo this song as an audio version to include all the doo dahs and maybe some banjo. We'll see how this goes.

and is that enough

Earlimart has an amazing song called Happy Alone, and I decided to ruin it.
Whatever. My camera is dying, and I have managed to misplace the charger, so that'll do.

Also I covered The xx's VCR. I had intended on making it better but I have given up:

you only live once

Summer is almost over. MY LAST SUMMER BREAK NOOOO.

First time using garage band

so this took me way longer than it should have...

Cover of Mirah-While We Have the Sun
I would embed it here but I don't know how so here's an external link:

50% done!!

Sufjan Stevens-The Predatory Wasp of the Palisades is Out to Get Us

Ignore the fact that my voice is cracking and etc. I have actually wanted to cover this song for ages; back when Jon "gave" me the guitar that he carved his name into, I remember figuring out the picking, so it has stayed in longer-term muscle memory than most things I learn.

In vetty news, 50% done!! It feels great; I've done nothing but read read read. SF in two days!

Daydreaming


Terrible. But whatever.
Check out the real thing: it's beautiful: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvTZwhOHYVA

A couple things.
Haircut!
Week 8.

That is all. Commence panic.

Spring break

Aimee Mann-Save Me

I would post better vids, but I think my family's web cam has had enough of me, cause it's stopped working.


The Killers-When You Were Young

Oh my god

Sufjan Stevens-Mistress Witch From Mcclure

I REALLY should be figuring out 3rd year and contesting questions.

Midterm Freak Out

Rough week behind us, rough weeks ahead.

NOW WITH SO MUCH HARMONY

Sufjan Stevens-Casimir Pulaski Day

So this isn't the final audio version, but it's the only visual record of us jamming!


Here's the final/better audio version!!
