Be More PBS
This blog’s identity as an exposition of myself is becoming fuller with every passing day. You’ve been exposed to my random bits of metacognition for quite some time, if this wasn’t disturbing enough perhaps the latest additions of visual and audio experimentation will give you just cause to look to heaven in despair, though hopefully laughter (or reflection) might also come about.
Anyway, enough ridiculous rambling (for now). I uploaded a bunch more songs. I will be posting them for your consumption in the days to come. The first “song” isn’t really a song at all, indeed, ’tis rather a mockumentary.
Perhaps some of you have listened to NPR or watched PBS and been exposed to “high culture” (complete with the requesite British accent, poetic quotations, and obscure titles). This brilliant examination of the Life and Times of Henry David Thoreau is my contribution to the western cannon (an aporia indeed…canon?) of high art. The idea came about as I was wandering through the forest with my good friend Josiah (the other voice); we started talking about Thoreau and then quickly degenerated into “quoting” him with hyperbolic thoughts and badly mangled British accents (he’s not even British). The classical documentary you will hear is the outcome of our creative ridicule mixed with Beethoven.

Also, I’ve added a couple of graphic backgrounds that appeared in my spare time. Check out what happens when IR meets photoshop scratch (Visual Harmony sidebar).

for those of you unenlightened in regard to Thoreau, it’s likely that you won’t find the creative genius of Josiah and I as hilarious as it objectively is.
