Great new clip from Mujitsu

I don't know if he made the music but this is some really good stuff.

"Pablo Picasso" was written and originally recorded by Jonathan Richman.

I recorded this version with an Ernie Ball acoustic bass, Fender strat, French horn, drum loops and sound drops from old recordings with friends. The creepy vocals are done using text to speech software. The video is made by pointing a Flip video recorder at the computer screen while playing various Youtube videos.

All the tools I dreamed about thirty years ago are now easily available. Now is the best time ever to be alive!

Zen is not easy.
It takes effort to attain nothingness.
And then what do you have?

Modern Lovers give the band some! Cool version the phrasing is great. John Cale did this at my festival earlier this year.

Repo Man tie-ins don't hurt in any context either.

In 1981, I was using a 4 track cassette recorder - high tech consumer gear at the time. I'm with you Ken. Rock on!

What software did you use? (If you don't mind sharing).

Ken,

Excellent - Thank You!

I've passed that video on to quite a few people, general response: "That's fucking awesome!"
