Oh dear, it's really been a long time since I last posted! Well I'm back and with plenty of great excuses for my absence but that's not why I'm here to report! We've made a short and are moving along great with our band. Miles has e-mailed a possible venue for us to play at, but no response yet (as far as I'm aware of). We recorded another song, Violet Hill by Colplay.

In the video realm we have two new videos out, Duck Polisher and the HP Trailer. I think our overall quality of videos is greatly improving, as demonstrated by our newest releases. Personally I thought the HP Trailer was very well done, if a little random (but c'mon, if you're watching our videos, what do you expect??). I would have loved to see the video accompaniment!

And right as I type this, Miles is informing me that he's putting up a new vid RIGHT NOW!! So I'll watch it sometime, and post my thoughts!

I suppose I'll sign off now. Tune in next week, same bat time, same bat channel!

More From Miles

It's been far too long since anyone in the Greenwall world posted here, so here I go again. It's really been a recent period of artistic outpouring. Brady and I (as well as Torey, who has developed much as an actor recently) filmed the beginnings of two films: Jack Morgan, Man Code Enforcer, which you guys have likely heard about here. The other we're going to keep a secret, but know that it parodies a recent film. Both of which will have Sage in them, but he wasn't available on the day we filmed.

Also in recent news, I opened Greenwall Records (http://youtube.com/GreenwallRecords) for music publishing needs. My home studio (comprised of an eight track recording board) is ready to go, and the band is becoming more musically creative (with the new demo release of Wonderwall, seen here), so we needed a musical outlet. Greenwall Studios is being managed by my good friend and fellow musician Torey Jones, who is psyched to begin recording. So am I. I've written a new song that'll be probably the B-side of our first studio single. (Not the A-side because it's artistic and creative: feels like Violet Hill, for the Coldplay fans out there.)

Multiple artists have expressed interest in recording with Greenwall Records. Torey, my band, obviously, but Adam Jackson and Ben Chin will be playing string music for us. Heather Smith, a talented young singer, will probably have a song or two with us. It's all in preliminary stages.

Street League Baseball is likely to return as a full-on league: Torey and I will be running a dual-commissionership, with me calling the numbers and organizing but Torey doing scheduling and pretty much everything else. I hope to not have a lot to have to do, so I can focus on videos, band organizing, and writing more of Kipper. The number of teams is likely to be three, but maybe four: we'll see how things progress.


Brady has had some very interesting of ideas for film. I swear he's John Lennon reincarnate as far as film-making goes. Some very interesting, artistic, ideas. Meanwhile, we have a plethora of ideas to work with. I'm finding our lack of settings to work with the most difficult factor, but all goes well.
