Here it is, as promised: Tommy and the Tommies… the self-titled album. These are the original tracks, as recorded in my makeshift apartment studio, with some of the live audio at the beginning for fun. They’re okay.

Picture by my mom!

Download, share, burn, dance, and enjoy. Huzzah!

Here it is in a big zip file if you want it in one go. It includes the cover art. It’s about 22mb, so use a download manager if you’ve got one.

Two updates in two days?! Blasphemy!

I played it in between some songs in my show the other day. It’s part of a series.

Well, folks, Tommy and the Tommies was last night, and I think I’d deem it a success. There were a couple mess-ups and we barely got the tech working, but I think it all worked out.

For those not in the know, Tommy and the Tommies was a music concert / performance art piece where I played guitar and sang while being backed by a virtual band of Tommies projected onto screens behind me. In between the songs were music videos, a cartoon, and other miscellaneous weirdness.

I’d like to thank everyone who came and everyone who helped. It really was the perfect number of people there, and I couldn’t have done it without my friends and girlfriend helping me. Much love.

Lastly, the MP3s from the concert will be available shortly. Some of them still need a little tweaking, but I’ll have them up within the next week. The videos from the performance will be edited and uploaded soon too. Stay tuned.

This is from YouTube’s new Insight feature, which uses lines and graphs to confuse me. Apparently, my “Juice” video is crazy popular in France… or something…

Looks like my European Summer Tour ‘08 is going to be the cat’s pajamas. Click on the picture to make it bigger and be inundated with meaningless line graphs.

I’m not sure what I should do with all of this fame. Maybe I should buy some sunglasses or something.

Here’s a fake* commercial I made for my Interactive TV class. I edited the images in Photoshop then animated them in After Effects. The voiceover is pretty horrible; I just used my laptop’s built-in mic. Oh, well. You can’t have everything.

The images were gleaned from morguefile.com and were taken by (in no particular order) Saffrodite, missyredboots, Slartibartfast, cohdra, xandert, gracey, jeltovski, hotblack, kevinrosseel, jpkwitter, and Jusben.

* Fake, in that we were experimenting with a new TV interface, and G&M was one of the companies allowing us to use their namesake in our test assets. We got no money from their “sponsorship.”
