I met up with Emily Zych, a.k.a. whichgoose, deep in the magical forests of Pennsylvania, where she finds twigs and vines for the fanciful crowns she makes. This wood nymph’s delightful creations are inspired by Greek mythology, pagan folklore and expressive Romanticism.

Last weekend my pals, Brooklyn psych rock band Oneida played an epic jam at the Flaming Lips curated ATP festival. The event that Onedia proposed was to recreate their recording studio Ocropolis and invite fellow musicians to come take part in an all day jam. Many musicians participated including members of Akron Family, Birds of Avalon and Boredoms. Oneida rocked hard for 10 hours straight! I recorded as much as I possibly could on two cameras (thank you Monica Hampton!). It was an exhausting but exhilarating day…

While I was on vacation in Montreal this past summer I met up with Montreal-based fashion designer Angie Johnson of iheartnorwegianwood. Angie is best known for her structuralist leather cage skirts, vintage trim elastic harnesses and colorful fringe necklaces. With the help of designer Lara Kaluza, a.k.a. lalouka, on the hottest day of summer, we drank some beer and blasted music in the Head Quarters boutiqe and had a super fun time shooting this little promo.

All Tomorrow’s Parties (documentary)

In December of 2006 I headed to Minehead, UK to help shoot the All Tomorrow’s Parties Nightmare Before Christmas festival. My main objective was to follow friend & festival curator Thurston Moore for the documentary All Tomorrow’s Parties. It was a Detroit rock, noise music blow out. Highlights were Nurse With Wound, Negative Approach, Iggy Pop, Sonic Youth, NNCK, bowling with Awesome Color and the Wolf Eyes afterparty where the porch caved in… Keeping up with Thurston was way more difficult than I’d expected. Even though he’s 6’5″ and was wearing a fluorescent orange hat, it was a constant Where’s Waldo scenario. At some point I had him talk into the wireless mic whenever we split up so I could find him haha… The film was supposed to emulate The Year Punk Broke but since Thurston was hosting over 200 bands and was on the go, his time in front of the camera was limited. But the whole shoot was a blast and I think we got some great footage. I’m looking forward to seeing who and what made the final cut at next weeks screening at ATP in Monticello…

Thanks to producer Luke Morris of Warp FIlms, director Jonathan Caouette, All Tomorrow’s People and Thurston Moore for letting me contribute to this film.
