Jonny Rodgers - Documentary on my Wine Glass music.

From Shoot Shoot Studios.

Candid interviews, improv and some background on how I developed my Glass Music.  This is the documentary from which my Swung On A Swing live video was excerpted.  It was filmed at Harkness in Waterford, Connecticut by Shoot Shoot Studios on a cold, rainy autumn day.  My hands nearly froze!  The brave, hardy crew persisted despite the weather and captured some really fantastic moments!  

Watch the Swung On A Swing Video as well, HERE

I think this dude is amazing. Check out this beautiful documentary about his music. Go, Jonny!

Sprawl II is clearly the best song on The Suburbs.  This video is awesome.  I will always love you Arcade Fire.

It’s definitely the song off this album that I listen to the most. Looooove.

Procrastination 101 with Nadine

Okay, here’s the deal. I was gonna study. But then I got annoyed with EVERYTHING (especially PowerPoint… uuuggghhh) and I started doing other things, like singing and dancing around, and I thought why not make a video of my attempts to be a good student and failing miserably?

I hope you enjoy this/my unwashed face & hair. Yep, I didn’t shower for you guys. No excuses, no apologies, no regrets.

She is the very best and I love her. ♥

The Chaos of the November 15 Raid on Zuccotti Park

Documentary filmmaker Casey Neistat pairs footage of the scene at Zuccotti Park between 1am and 6am on November 15 with Sinatra’s “New York, New York” for an ironic twist

As a child of a former NYPD officer, it’s difficult for me to hear all of the negative things being said about the NYPD with regard to the Occupy Wall Street movement. I think it’s important to note that throughout most of this video, the officers are not using force and, in fact, are doing what they’ve been ordered to do. Yes, I’m sure there are some asshole police officers down there, but you know that there are also some asshole protestors as well.

All of that being said, this is a very powerful video and it is definitely worth watching and discussing. I’m interested to see what the folks over at HitRECord are going to do with their footage and responses.

Definitely not done getting all the resources, but I’m working on it! I need to keep a better track of all the videos.

Nice! Love seeing this kind of creative editing with all the great footage that’s showing up. You’re right, there’s many more resources on the way, but this is a promising start!

Awesome to see video editors taking initiative like this.

Great job buckdiddy!

The HitRECord RECollection is here! I didn’t want to take photos of the entire thing, but I was so impressed with the design, layout, and packaging involved with the collection. The whole thing is gorgeous and I absolutely love the book cover/slip that tells the story of HitRECord.

I’m really proud to support HitRECord and all of its fabulous artists. There are so many people involved in the community and more folks are adding to it every day…every minute! I love that it’s a place where people can go to create and inspire one another. I love that it’s for artists and about artists. Bring on the RECollection Part Two!

My friend caught the moment my mom walked into her surprise party! Happy birthday, mommy!

Can we discuss how she wasn’t even facing us when the door opened? Lord.
