When it rains, it pours! I am very proud to say I have a second music video to add to my catalogue! This is for my song "Whatever Gets U Thru the Day", and it's viewable here:

http://www.vimeo.com/6156084I really, really love its old world look, I feel like it complements the sound of the song quite nicely! Annie Lim filmed/directed/edited it, what a talented woman. As you can see, it features a gaggle (gaggle?) of origami cranes, which took four of us ONE WHOLE ENTIRE SUNDAY to make around my kitchen table (ok, actually, I didn't fold them. I couldn't learn how to do it fast enough, so I just strung them on the fishing line. But I did try!)
This video is the product of a, "go with whatever inspiration strikes" attitude, and in my experience, it always works the best when you just ride the wave, you know what I'm sayin? My favorite part of the filming process was insisting that that disco ball HAD to be present on the stage, and then trying to move it from the place it had probably occupied for 40 years (had to pry open a link on its ancient chain to move it) and then to reattach it, undetected, back in the same spot (I sacrificed a keychain to use towards that end!) Genius. Thanks to Augie Tang, Stephanie Chan, Vanessa Quick and Tony Yee for their technical assistance.
Hope you enjoy the video. Spread it around, if you do! :) And though this is a month in advance, come on out and hear the Sunshine Banned at Fontana's on Tues., 9/22, 8:00 p.m.!
