I just created a Remix page that features all of the remixes that have been coming in over the last few days. I’ll continue to update the page as more roll in.

Here are a few:
DoKashiteru - I Fell Out Of The Sky - This one is just amazing.
Chris Fudurich - Fell Out Of The Sky v02 - Incredible triptastic remix. (And just a remix wasn’t enough–Chris was also present for the final day of the Fell Out Of The Sky music video shoot!
Khidir - Fell Out Of The Sky (alalala remix) - Impressively happy remix.

Make sure to check out all of the remixes on the Remix page.

After four very full and busy days, the shooting for the “Fell Out Of The Sky” music video has come to an end. Today was the greatly anticipated party scene, which wouldn’t have been possible without all of our friends, who had to take a break from their busy lives to eat, drink and be merry. Editing for the video starts next week!

Not a whole lot of time for me to take many photos today, so I only have a few to post for now. I’ll try to dig around for some more soon.

Some snippets from Paul POP’s review (First Coast News). Link to review

“DIY hand made folktronica that sounds as if Elbow got in a car crash with Folk Implosion and the Postal Service.”

“The unobtrusive nature of all this permeates the haunting nature of this album and it makes it seem as if the the whole thing were created by loop loving ghosts.”

“This is Old is a fascinating listen and an interesting peek into State Shirt’s soul.”

“Melancholy and being stuck in a never ending routine has never sounded so good.”

Today was the first day of filming for the “Fell Out Of The Sky” music video! The unbearable smoke and ash from the Sylmar fire forced us to change ALL of our locations today, but we were fortunate to find some great alternate locations. All of the actors and crew were great! More shooting tomorrow, and next weekend as well. Here are some photos:

Download the audio source files from my new album and go crazy, have fun, make some remixes. Then post your remix and your own samples on ccMixter or send them to me and I’ll use your audio to create my next album!

Call for Remixes

Remix a song, post it on ccMixter, and let me know. I’ll feature all of the remixes on stateshirt.com and will be rewarding the best and most creative remixes with a few goodies and a spot on a (future) This Is Old remix album. Submit a remix before Nov 17 and be entered to win a Line 6 POD Studio UX2. Remix early and remix often!

Call for Samples

I’m creating a new album of music comprised entirely of Creative Commons licensed audio samples. It will be a process of merging, tweaking, remixing and piecing together all of your work. Could be drumbeats, guitar parts, a cappella vocals, noises, accordion, part of a song you never finished, screaming, spoken words, whatever you want to send. Submit audio samples for this project on ccMixter or send them my way. Thanks!

The new State Shirt album This is Old is finally released. I hope you like it. It’s available as a CD, MP3 files and FLAC files. And I’d be glad if you shared it with your friends (and enemies). And I’d be just as glad if you purchased a copy. Each CD comes with a neato State Shirt bumper sticker and instant MP3 downloads. Thanks to everyone for their support, I promise the next album won’t take four years.

Buy the CD or MP3s

It’s also available at Amazon, CDBaby, eMusic and will soon be on iTunes. The album is also up at last.fm and it looks like it will be on Jamendo any day now.

Less than a week until This Is Old is released. Pre-order sales of the new album have been great, they’re really piling up. Thanks so much everyone!

• Attention valued listeners: If you ordered a CD, it will be sent out soon, I’m just waiting for the bumper stickers to arrive so I can send those out too! In the meantime, anyone who has pre-ordered the CD can download MP3s of all the songs! Check the email I sent you when you ordered, the download link there is now activated.
• If you haven’t already ordered and you’re not into the whole PayPal thing, on 11.11.08 the album will be available on Amazon and CDBaby. It’s been sent off to iTunes, Napster, Rhapsody and eMusic, and will show up whenever they get around to putting it up. (And, next week I will be offering MP3 and FLAC downloads right here on my site).
• Had some CDs sent out to college radio and press, hope someone likes it enough to play it or write about it. Also sent off CDs to Pandora and Jango, maybe they’ll put this album up there?

Thanks everyone for the support.

This is what happens when you go to the West Hollywood Halloween Carnival in an incredible Tinky Winky teletubby costume. We were only there about an hour and Angela ended up posing with over 300 people.
