I got excited while recording some guitar over at Brian’s and decided to take a little video of what we were up to. I was a little slap happy after 8 hours of recording with out taking a break, so some of the things I said might not make sense.

Hey everyone,

We played a couple songs at today’s TEDx event at U of M. We put them together just for this performance, trying to make something that would really work in this particular venue. Our friend Gareth Walters filled in on second sampler, or should I say “Music Production Center.” It was a good time, and we were honored to be a part of it.

I’ll post videos once the TED people edit them together.

P.S. Still working on that third album.

Hey there, hombres and femmehombres,

During the summer we recorded a session at LA’s Luxury Wafers.

Also, we are writing.

And another also, two short stories by Matt Thompson:
How to Smash Frogs and Otis Redding, Dead in a Plane Crash

If you watch MTV Subterranean late at night on Thursday, 6/26
(technically Friday the 27th I think)
you will see the on-air premier of “Safe for the Time Being.”

In the meantime you can watch it smaller RIGHT HERE.

Or even:

Mason Proper - Safe For The Time Being Official Music Video from Dovecote Records on Vimeo.

We filmed this last summer in an unbelievably hot warehouse
with our friends Hott Garbage
and many extras who were also quite hot by the end
and it was so hot
that the film melted
and it took nearly a year to restore to it’s original glory
but here it finally is
and you can check it out
at this link:

SAFE @ MY OLD KENTUCKY BLOG

and not only that but you can also download a couple of free songs from Olly Oxen Free from the same place.

Let us know what you think!
