As I've written here before, I've been a fan of Brad Sucks for a few years now. I don't just like his music, I like how he's working out how to get his music out into the world.
His new album, Out of It, is due out on 8 September. I already pre-ordered my CD copy. I like CDs still, I can't help it. I haven't figured out how to get someone to autograph an MP3.
The first single from Out of It is going to be "Fake It" and Brad's making a video. Not just any video, he's trying to make the most cliche music video ever and he needs our help! The assignment is as follows:
- Choose one or more music video clichés. (What's a music video cliché?)
- Video yourself singing along to Fake It [mp3], including at least one or more music video clichés. Do the entire song or just a part, anything's fine.
- Upload your video to Youtube with the tag "bradsucksfakeit".
I try not to ask people to do things that I wouldn't do myself. Last week, I uploaded a set of clips to YouTube as my contribution to the project.
I have three videos up now in my Youtube channel. All totally raw and unedited, unrehearsed and intentionally so. I might do some more and I might pay more attention to the audio next time. Here's mine, where are yours?
