Monthly Album - MAYDAY

BJ's Words:


This artwork had a lot of time and effort put into it. I pulled out 5 records and lined them up along the windows so that I was able to look up and use them as reference as I tried to replicate the look of compilation albums from the 50's. I love this artwork.

Artwork:

99 Problems- Philidelphia Grand Jury / Jayz
One More Cup Of Coffee - The White Stripes / Bob Dylan
Let's Dance - M.Ward / David Bowie

Extras:


For this album BJ asked me to make two magnets which had the stain glass images from the front covers on them. I packaged them up all cute and they looked awesome in the end.


Copyright:


Disc 1 - ©FTI RECORDS APRIL 2012 SIDE A: AN ALBUM FULL OF COVER SONGS, WHODDA THUNK IT! WELL, WE DID, ONCE AGAIN, NEW MUSIC BURSTING FROM OUR LOINS, INTO YOUR LOINS, WELL NEW OLD MUSIC ANYWAY, I HOPE YOU DIG THIS AS MUCH AS WE DO. WE GOT 99 PROBLEMS, BUT A RELEASE AINT ONE!

Disc 2 - ©FTI RECORDS APRIL 2012 SIDE B: THE ALBUM OF ORIGINAL SONGS, THE AURAL ACCOMPANIMENT TO SIDE A. THE ARTISTS AND SONGS THAT MADE SIDE A POSSIBLE EXIST ON THIS CD. SO TURN IT UP. SIT BACK. AND LISTEN TO THE ORIGINALITY BURST OUT OF YOUR SPEAKS AND FILL YOUR EARS. CYA IN JUNE!



My Thoughts:


With this album it was hard. There were soo many great cover songs out there and I feel that there are some better ones BJ could have picked over others. I enjoy the covers more then the originals mostly but both albums have a good flow.

We'd love to know what you think of MayDay and if you would like a digital copy of the album send me an email silhouettesofknights@gmail.com

Fork This 77 - Family Petes Fun House

This week we went to Pete's Bargain Center for a little adventure.

It's this crazy (huge) warehouse full of the most random things. You never know what your going to find when you go there. 

Pete's Bargain Center is one of our favourite places to go.

Fork This Updates

I've been a bit absent lately and have just realised that I haven't post the last three episodes of Fork This (Or anything else really).


Fork This 73 - Kaia And The Fete


BJ, Kaia and I head to a school fete for some adventures. Lot's of sugar, rides AND a DeLorean.





Fork This 74 - Attack Of The Brain


On our weekend away BJ and I were attacked by a cockatoo which i named 'The Brain'. It was hilariously scary and luckily i was able to film most of it.





Fork This 75 - Beach Days


Some footage on our weekend away in Lorne.




What do you think of our new starting? It makes me laugh every time i see it.

I will try and get more motivated to post... I still have May to October albums to show you all.
