The "Tim and Eric" 35 YEAR OLD MAN connection.
Was forwarded this link the other day, which is about a month old. In it, Sam Proof (who plays Raz on Tim and Eric) curates a page called "The Funny Pages" on a website called Craveonline which features 35 YEAR OLD MAN.
I must admit that I've never been on such a website. From Raz (Sam Proof) in regards to the aforementioned film :
"This is a bit reality, a bit dark comedy. But there’s something magical and scarier about the humor in it. This may NOT be the feel good way to start your day, but I think it’s definitely worth watching."
This is my Tim and Eric connection.

Lyrics:
I want to sit outside tonight
taken in all the air from everywhere
Actually I want to hide tonight
blanket in all the cold inside my heart
Why do you treat me so bad
Is it because you think I’m wrong
because the birds want to eat your little bones
Why do you treat me so bad
Is it because you think I’m wrong
because the moths want to to eat your arms
I’ve driven down this road in the moonlight
I’ve seen all those peculiar sites
Makes we want to run, I want to get away from everyone
Its another night in the frozen cold
I’m a beast, I’m a lost soul (2x)
Free me so I can go (so I can go)
Hate me so I can go (so I can go)
Use me so I can go (so I can go)
Kill me so I can go (so I can go)
Running running running running (repeat)

MIRS - Fall (birds) Music Video
We are dropping the new MIRS music video from the song Fall (birds) of the Spin Cycle EP very soon. It was produced by ANIMALS, and directed by Chris Castillo + Myself. Castillo's father is the legendary Filipino film director Celso Ad Castillo, so the relations run deep.
MIRS featured in Los Angeles 7
Just wrapped my part in the LA rock and roll fable, Los Angeles 7. In it, MIRS plays himself. Apart from my brief stint, MIRS tracks will be featured in the film, along with 6 other LA based bands. So, buy the record, or download it somewhere.
Sometimes being on set.
Day two on the CXL shoot looked like this. Sean Gillane and the rest of the team took great care of me, making sure I did not drown, nor throw up.
KHOOBI release along with the ANIMALS slate.
With a block of time set, and some good luck in the form of music licensing and decision making, it seems that I can finally release Khoobi before the month of June is over.
My plan involves a straight to web release under a CC copyright. This means that you will be free to download it, show it to your friends and even screen it (as long as you hit me up first). I've not yet decided if it should be under the remix able license yet, but maybe?
Curators, if you are interested in screening the film, please contact first. Since this is a non-commercial release, you must first get permission son.
The official date has not been decided yet, maybe I'll slip it under you while you sleep.
This is the first of several ANIMALS collaborative projects I will be releasing this year, with the climax being my next feature film (Reza the Camel) which is in development at the moment.
In other news, I'm featured in the next issue of DNA Recordz Magazine, which highlights the work of the next generation of Diaspora artist. Here is a photo from the shoot.
