The Prizefighters - Sukeban (official video) (by The Prizefighters)

Here’s the video I made for my boyfriend’s band, The Prizefighters. 

When Whitney was trying to name this song, I suggested “Sukeban”, since it reminded me of a fight in a Pinky Violence film. She liked the name, so it stuck. I volunteered to make the video. This was my first time working with any sort of video media - I think it turned out okay!

I found out today that the video was featured on a Minnesotan Newspaper’s (city pages) site as one of the “new must-see videos”. AWESOME! I’m pretty excited! Here’s the link to the article: http://blogs.citypages.com/gimmenoise/2013/05/top_ten_must_see_minnesota_music_videos_this_week.php?page=2

My boyfriend’s band (The Prizefighters) backing Stranger Cole. Whitney killed Patsy’s part! Even though I couldn’t go, they did a great job and I’m proud of them.

basically the entire MNSka scene with Ken Boothe & Dobby Dobson.
They were both SOOOOOOO nice and appreciative that we showed up, sang, and danced all night. I held Ken Boothe’s hand for like 5 minutes! I felt like I was 13! EEK!
I like how it looks like I’m tickling Dobby Dobson.

Alice in Wonderland 1951 Soundtrack 16. Mad Tea Party/The Unbirthday Song/Twinkle Twinkle (by SoulStealerSlayers)

is it me, or does a lot of skinhead reggae sound like the “unbirthday song” from alice in wonderland? It just brings me back to waiting for an hour to ride the freaking teacup ride and seeing kids barf after the getting off the ride.

Hey everyone -  My boyfriend is starting to sell on eBay. He’ll soon be listing a ton of Jamaican & Soul 45s, but he’s starting out simple with Fred Perry & Ben Sherman clothing. Please take a look and bid!

Scratch ‘n’ me.
The whole thing was really bizarre…
My favorite line of the night: “Jesus is my boyfriend, Jesus is my husband. I believe in Moses.”
