Best Quote of the Week ~ [7/7/13]

          "The saddest part of a broken heart isn't the ending, so much as the start."

~Feist from her song Let It Die off the album Let It Die

Let It Die by Feist from Let It Die

Best Quote of the Week ~ [6/2/13]: Ugly Hero Edition

          "An Ugly Hero is considered a myth. Growing up, the heroes we saw in cartoons and movies were perfectly chiseled, intelligent, and had senses none of us possess. An UGLY HERO is the everyday blue collar individual that makes the world go 'round. These are the heroes that work hard all day, everyday to help ensure that the lives around them are taken care of, and do it all without recognition. They wear themselves into the ground and sacrifice vanity for family."

~Apollo Brown, Verbal Kent, and Red Pill a.k.a. Ugly Heroes

Current State Of My Projects

This has nothing to do with my projects but it looks nice.

          This is a list of my current projects and their statuses. I was originally going to put this post on Projects but since I'm talking about all my project I decided to throw it up on the main site. It's mostly for me but I wanted have full disclosure of my projects. See them after the jump.

UPDATE 1 (5/4/13): Added a project I forgot about. Some status updates.

Best Quote of the Week ~ [2/3/13]

Not the correct John Wesley, but it is the best John Wesley photo.

          "Do all the good you can. By all the means you can. In all the ways you can. In all the places you can. At all the times you can. To all the people you can. As long as ever you can."

~John Wesley

This is the correct John Wesley.

Also, none of the aforementioned John Wesleyes have anything to do with the John Wesley Bob Dylan named this album after. Like the first John Wesley, this one does end his name in Harding, though unlike the First and the album, he loses the 'G' (Hardin). 

The Music:

As I Went Out One Morning by Bob Dylan from John Wesley Harding

Sing Your Own Song by John Wesley Harding from The Sound Of His Own Voice

Bosnian Rainbows' First Single: Torn Maps

          Bosnian Rainbows released their first single as band earlier this week: Torn Maps. This song also serves as the first single to their debut album of the same name which is due out this summer. Torn Maps is an electric, noisy, groovy, energetic rock song. You can listen to the song below and buy from it Band Camp for $1: Here.

UPDATE 1 (2/19/13):
Torn Maps might not actually be the name of their debut album. I just assumed. Also, the group released their second single last week: Turtle Neck. Check it out below.

Mars Volta On Hiatus, Bosnian Rainbows Shine

          Omar Rodriguez-Lopez has decided to put his baby, The Mars Volta, on an indefinite hiatus and it has been so since September. However, the as working Omar has created a new band, Bosnian Rainbows, along with fellow Mars Volta alumni Deantoni Parks on drum, Teri Gender Bender of Le Butcherettes as lead vocalist, and Nicci Kasper on the keyboard. Bosnian Rainbows is touring right and performing all new material! After listening to a few of their songs I can honestly I love this new band and wait to hear more. Omar remarks that this band is actually a band and that he is not "dictator" here but a team player--there a collaborative effort here. It's a bit sad to see Mars Volta on hiatus, but everyone is working on projects and Bosnian Rainbows one hell of a start. Check out videos and pictures of the band after the jump! Go now; they're awesome!

Also, check out a full interview with Omar from CityArtsOnline.com in the source.

UPDATE 1 (2/19/13):
Mars Volta has officially disbanded. Cedric Bixler-Zavala gave a statement few weeks ago. Truly sad, but this is how things are sometimes. We do have the awesome Bosnian Rainbows to look forward too, as well as something from Cedric in the near future.

Elevator Music Video Update 7 ~ [9/9/12]

Elevator Music Video Update 7 from Thaddeus Coleman on Vimeo.

          Sorry I didn't have the video part of the video update up last week. It's been very hectic since school started. The good thing is that I done coding Still Here After Wednesday Night version 5.2.0.0., this means I have more free time however that free time will be mostly used for school until I get everything in order. No Script update this week, but expect one next Sunday. Seeya then.

Elevator Music Video Update 5 ~ [8/26/12]

Elevator Music Video Update 5 from Thaddeus Coleman on Vimeo.

          In this update I'm update the Script (finally--at the bottom of this page), however it is only of the next two scenes as I've been busy finishing the programming for Shoy Schot's update (a.k.a. Still Here After Wednesday Night 5.2.0.0). I plan on finishing it in the next few days hopefully. With the extra time I update Script throughout the week.

          Over the the past week I've been writing and rewriting the unscripted scenes for episode 1 as well as writing a couple of scene for episode 2. I trying to nail down Collis' character and also improve the pacing of the Script (ep 1). The former I'm getting better at and the latter I won't be able to until I have a completed draft in of me.

          The problems I'm facing with the Script right now are as follows: Looking to be too long (I actually prefer this to being short, but it is pass the comfortably over length point). Some scenes go on for too long while other's aren't long enough. Because of this the pacing is thrown off. Also, a major concern is that this series is both a comedy and drama; the first episode should be teaser for the overall series, provide samplings of most of the main points (within reason)--I'm hitting the comedy but not so much the drama. Now this will come in later. I already have some scenes written for later in the season that have drama/character development and I even have these scenes in the first episode but the pacing is a bit messy. These are the problems I'm looking to fix as I go on.

          Lastly, I start back college tomorrow--what does that mean for Elevator Music? Mostly nothing that will hinder my writing as it's already been hinder with my programming. Actually, this is a good thing. I'll have down time to writing more at school and also--the biggest thing--I can use the school's internet to upload videos, which means I can make longer more in-depth video updates if I need to. Also, I can practice speaking on camera. All in all, this is good.

          O.K. guys, this will be it for this update. I felt you deserved a meatier update since the video won't be here till later and the Script didn't receive as big an update as I promised. Seeya.

Cilla Black's Step Inside Love

          One more thing I want to share with everyone besides random music is this article by Roses from PusingUpRoses.com. It is a very touching and powerful article about an experience in her life that change entire outlook on life after she saw how affected those around her. I really recommend giving it a read.
