After the east coast earthquake I found myself jealous of the people in NYC who experienced the ground moving under their feet. I took a step back and realized that being jealous of something like this is kind of insane. I then started to think of all of the weird things I was jealous of as a child.

On New Zealand and the earthquake…

Jaime Shade in Waiotapu (2008)
I went to New Zealand for a month in 2008. A small earthquake happened one of the nights I was in Wellington, and I remembered being highly paranoid of any sort of seismic or volcanic activity during the rest of my stay. Hearing about the devastating earthquake in Christchurch brought back not only good memories of my stay, but also reminded me of what the Kiwis live with and keep in the back of their minds throughout their lives.
I still wear my Pounamu pendant, and all of my friends can testify that at least once a week I have a “in NZ they do it this way” story. A part of me still lives there.

No I don’t think so!
This video started as a Warhol-esque screen test until I noticed that I didn’t get the lighting right. Instead of trashing the 90 seconds of footage, I figured I could have some sort of audio-video contrast between the subtle B&W video and an assortment of bitch track clips.

I admit that the vocal effect was “inspired by” The Knife and Laurie Anderson. Music and text by Jaime Shade.

It’s Crimmus time! That means spending more money on gas, goods you don’t need, and getting in debt. Don’t worry – the bad news will still be there when you get back to reality on 2 January.
Included is a very special cameo appearance from HARPO-GAYLE!
