New Album “Living Room”

Living Room by Michael Nhat “Living Room” was originally titled “Insomnia For the Sport of It”, but I changed my mind because it didn’t go with the cover photo. I purchased the cover photo for 75 cents at a store called Mostly Books in downtown Philly. From 2008-2011 I recorded a number of songs thatContinue reading “New Album “Living Room””

How to Flip the Gummo Sample

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVtZ9g41mQM

I saw the movie Gummo by Harmony Korine in 1999. I was living on my friends couch in the living room in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. I remember liking it at once. I saw Kids when it first came out and liked it also, but Gummo blew it out the water for me.
In 2001 I sampled Gummo’s cowboy kids cussing at the rabbit for a song that doesn’t exist anymore. Then in 2004 I sampled the sounds in the film arriving with “Don’t Forget to Water the Radio”. A demo was recorded, then in 2010 I re-recorded the song with the same exact Gummo Sampled beat and hook, but changed the lyrics slightly. Since 2004 my songwriting became a little less enigmatic. The song was put on my 2nd album “Swimming to Cambodia”.

Me vs Bald Thug at a Party in the Valley Last Night

Him: I don’t like you. If i was walking down the street I’d punch you.
Me: Why?
Him: I don’t like your whole look, I don’t like your clothes.
Me: Why?
Him: Because you look like a loser.
Me: How come?
Him: Because you’re scum. Guys like you are scum.
Me: How so?
Him: Because I don’t like your pants, they look like waiter pants.
Me: So everyone who wears black dress pants are waiters?
Him: You make me want to punch you right now.
Me: You want to punch me right now because of my pants? Why?
Him: Because you’re scum!
Me: You’re not really good at answering questions. Did you just come over to my table to insult me?
Him: Yes I did.
Me: Wow that’s really adult of you.
Him: (Violently grabs my glasses off my face)
Me: Okay i’m going to ask you as an adult, give me my glasses.
Him: No I’m going to hold on to them for a while.
Me: Oh really? (then to my gf) Okay call the cops.
Him: (Puts the glasses down and walks away)
(30 minutes later cops arrive and he tells them he bullied me because I hit him)
Cops: Well if we arrest him we have to arrest you too because he claims you hit him first and you have no witness except your gf)
Everyone Else: We didn’t see nothing, we just want to party!

The Art Becomes the Artist: Geneva Jacuzzi, Yasmine Kittles, Michael Nhat and Seraphime Angelis

by Meagan Boyd At times, walking down the street in Los Angeles may seem chaotic, filled with different personas, egos, and odd characters. But when we slow down to carefully observe those who stand out, we become aware of the art in one’s style. It resonates in the way they move, walk, speak, perform, orContinue reading “The Art Becomes the Artist: Geneva Jacuzzi, Yasmine Kittles, Michael Nhat and Seraphime Angelis”
