My New Practice Space

KPunk — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 10:19:09 -0400

My new practice space is in a gutted building that is being renovated. We've set up on the second floor. The whole second floor is open, with huge holes in the floor and ceiling.
No running water.
No heat.
No lights.
Electricity is provided by a single extension cord running down to the basement. We're running everything off a power strip and when we blow the fuse we are plunged into total darkness until someone finds the flashlight and goes down to the basement to flip the fuse.

So fucking punk rock.

I'm directing a second music video for indie folk punk band imadethismistake. Kylewilliam, the band's only member, stopped by today while his tour made its way through Chicago so we could film his scenes for the video.

The above video is a few snippets of our conversation, and a live performance of "Boy With A Broken Jaw". Enjoy! =)

Hello again!

Thanks to everyone who has stopped in to say hi! I just wanted to point out that the content on SOP is kind of one sided right now because I've only got one series going, the Citizen Reports. I will continue this series, but I intend to do much more in depth articles as well.

But the real reason for this post is to let everyone know that we accept writing from external authors. Stop in at SOP today and if you have something to say, send it along. We just might publish it!

Thanks!
