With some coaching and encouragement from @phampants, I’m going to take a stab at vlogging.

We’ll see how well this goes.

[EDIT] Cindy brought up that the car conversation was a little unintelligible, so here’s the transcription:

Andrew: Do you have any music on your phone, Simon?
Simon: Yes!
Andrew: Here, play DJ.
Simon: The pressure is on!
Andrew: Yes, it is. Entertain us, Simon!
Nico: Dance!
Andrew: Dance, monkey!
Simon: I said, dance!
Nico: …dance monkey?
Simon: I find that both…
Andrew: Offensive? Good.
Simon: Offensive, and racist, and… demeaning… and…
Andrew: …are you sure?
Simon: If you can think of any other adjectives, please.
Nico: “Delicious.”

While the band from the show, Oh Yeah, The Future will be going on hiatus before their next show, the main songwriter, S.A. Bach‘s got enough music and projects to go around. Check out his YouTube Channel for some tunes, and be sure to sing along with the rest of us otherwise you’ll just look out of place.

Birthday boy, @zaptra, is also a solo act of the electronic variety. If you’ve ever loved Boards of Canada, Björk, Radiohead, or any one of Aphex Twin’s projects, you’ll get along with Zaptra.

With that link orgy behind us, it occurs to me how easily involved I am in the Los Angeles musicians’ social circles. I think musicians make up at least 70% of my friends and acquaintances, and this includes colleagues and people from my alma mater.

I’m curious of my interweb friends: How many of you are musicians? What do you play? Whether you are one or not, how many musicians do you know? Keep in mind that your voice is also a musical instrument!
