Happy Presidents Day! Oh wait… it’s not technically Presidents Day anymore… I sort of fell asleep reading a Time Magazine article on singularity and woke up and it was Tuesday. I’ll take my sleep when I can get it. I’ll also post date this blog post so it looks like I actually got it up by midnight. So I guess I win.
Anyway, we are continuing the All My Friends Are In Bands series with three more videos from musicians that I like both as musicians and as peoples. This week features some videos I wanted to post about a while ago and probably did on my Tumblr already but fuck it, these are all videos I really dig and I want you guys to fucking pay attention to. Let’s get started.
The oldest one is Johnny Nelson’s “Put Em In A Body Bag”. I fucking love this song, the video is fucking tight AND most importantly Johnny Nelson has a fucking DBB tattoo so you know that dude is family. But once again I just wish I was in the fucking video. Come on guys, we need to start putting me in these fucking things. It’s not like I am doing anything better before midnight… Honestly though, this song and video are amazing and his brother Telli from Ninjasonik is along for the ride.

The second video is Hussle Club’s “Loose Tights”. Prince Terry is obviously part of the Driven By Boredom family despite flaking on his DBB tattoo and his Hussle Club is pretty fucking bad ass but I am sure you know about that by now. The video is sick too although I do have one problem with it. He gets off the J train at Bowery and then ends up at the Delancey F train. I mean there is a J stop in the same station, clearly you missed your stop homie. You live a block from there, you should have that figured out by now… In all seriousness… good song, good video… watch that shit now.

The third and final video is a documentary about the Death Set’s tour with Girl Talk called The Adventures of Quanni Cannonz. When that show was in NYC at Terminal 5 I shot it and that’s how I both discovered the Death Set and met Ninjasonik. All those dudes are fam now so that show was a pretty momentous occasion. Plus it was a fucking amazing show. I had seen Girl Talk a bunch of times before anyone ever heard of him but seeing him for the first time in front of a sold out crowd was fucking nuts. Anyway, the Death Set killed it opening for him and this documentary is fucking hilarious. It’s 20 min long but well worth watching.
