Music on Master Giraffe
This would be interesting, and because it’s HBO doing it - I believe it could turn out quite good. Like a poor man’s entourage. But he’s still a tool.
Anthony Kiedis – shirt-fearing frontman of Red Hot Chili Peppers and hard-luck autobiographer – is said to be turning his memoir Scar Tissue into an HBO series. The channel is renowned for its big-budget and high-quality TV productions, such as The Sopranos, The Wire, Oz and Deadwood.
According to The Guardian, Kiedis is developing the show with producers Marc Abrams and Michael Benson. “The projected series will focus on Kiedis’s unconventional early life in Los Angeles, living with his father Spider, a drug dealer to rock stars on Sunset Strip,” reports the paper. The reaction to the Scar Tissue book was decidedly mixed. Some praised its honesty and insight, while others dismissed it as self-indulgent drudgery. Regardless, the TV series is set to be more “offbeat comedy” than drug-addled drama.
“I love mulling over all this raw material,” Kiedis told Daily Variety. “[My father is] into it too He sees it as our last great hurrah. For us to be reconnecting to construct these memories – the women and the rock bands and the doormen of these clubs – is exciting.”
So I’ve finished my 3 minute video project for school. Was hell of a lot of fun making this, I hope you guys have fun watching it. The video may feature Seph and Spence from the MG team…
Well here it is, thoughts? (click read more below peeps)
Because one day I will make her my bride…
It’s been a while since I’ve produced a top ten list, but I’m back, and again jumping into that dangerous category of music.
So why song outros? Everyone has a song in their collection that they remember because of the outro. Even if the song is completely shit up until that point, it doesn’t matter, as the outro will arrive and punch you in the face, make you scream ‘what the fuck’, force you to repetitively punch the table with your fist yelling ‘yes, yes, yes!’, or sometimes it will just make you tilt your head back and soak it all in.
Ok I’m over the wank now, hear are ten outros that I adore. Also, the list is in no particular order, as I found it pretty pointless ranking them. Maybe YOU can decide.
Richard Wright
Richard Wright was one of the founders of Pink Floyd, and sadly lost his battle with cancer and died this week, aged 65.
So what’s a better way to then to honor someone by giving him person of the week? Anyway Richard Wright did some pretty cool shit with Pink Floyd, including writing songs such as ‘Us and Them’ and ‘Great Gig in the Sky’ from the Dark Side of the Moon album.
It’s finally here, I remember telling Seph a month and a half ago “I’m going to make an album”, and now to suddenly have 12 songs in front of me is pretty damn cool.
So how much is it? Pfft who cares. I’ve put it up here available to download. Now here comes the part where I say… I couldn’t have done it without:
Damo from DX Interactive, that guy knows his shit and helped me with alot of stuff behind the scenes.
Korey Fernando, he has a great voice, get him to read you a bedtime story.
Ben Morling, he plays guitar like someone who has had lessons. Oh wait, he has had lessons.
Spencer Skey, he provided alot of inspiration for some songs on the album, he knows which ones.
Michael Stocks, well he taught me the violin, so I have to put him here otherwise he’ll have a cry.
Phillip, Sam and Mathew Rainbird, for having to put up with various phone calls, emails and continuous pushing for critique that was usually abuse because they would rather have been doing something else.
Luke Saxby, for sending me messages with lyrics from my songs. Yeah hardcore!
Chris Murphy, the dude lent me a bass.
and some things I could have done WITHOUT:
The guy who lives next door to my room. Dude, stop playing Eminem, snoop dogg or whatever it is.
My computer, enjoying crashing all the time. For example blowing up halfway through creating the album cover.
Having a chest infection and being forced in bed for about a week. Although it turned out ok as I had a totally different perspective on my songs.
Ok so that’s about it. I hope you enjoy listening to it. I really should get on with some university work now (and more Master Giraffe posts!). Although one of my projects does involve making a short film - and yes that will involve The Slinky Cat!
Ok so here is the final tracklisting:
1. This Is Bigger Than Carnavoce
2. My Pet Dog Eats Custard For Breakfast
3. The Romanian Train Robbery
4. There’s More To Life
5. Futuristic Pirate Robot
6. Pirate Robot Recharge
7. Round and Round
8. The Attack of the Goosen
9. Oh No He Didn’t (Oh Yes He Did!)
10. The Goochinator Spooky Cut (Ed Friedland)
11. The Fernando Torres Intermission Featuring Mr. Fernando
12. Sailing Into Venice With A Giraffe
Spencer Skey has struck Master Giraffe again. This time by arriving at a party with a ‘futuristic robot pirate’ costume. It was so good, that we here at MG just had to write a song about it, with some help from Roboman (DX Interactive).
Well the classic video clip of ‘pierce brosnan pointing on a horse because he uses hand cream’ still remains in the minds of the MG crew. So much in my mind that I mixed it into a song. Then I made it into a video clip.
Not sure what it is, to be honest, but I like it.
