If anyone reading this blog happens to be in Austin, Texas, you should stop by their party. Looks like a good time.<br /><br />I actually have a funny story about this blog. I've been sending out demos to a bunch of blogs, ya know, to create that "blogosphere buzz", and this was one of the many many random blogs I sent the demo too. It just so happens that my good buddy Brendan Murray's ex girlfriend Elise O was one of the people running pixelhorse! Weird coincidence. I think she actually edited and posted the video above. Oh and then this girl Danger Dome from the <a href="dippedindollars.com">dipped in dollars</a> blog knew my sister Galen because she met her somewhere a while ago. <br /><br />Apparently I know more people then I thought.<br /><br />Also, SXSW (south by south west) is all the rage now, I'd never heard of it before, but apparently it's some kind of epic cultural festival in Austin, Texas. Austin, you say? Yes, Austin, the hippest shit in the universe.Sam Kochhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16528258714420535738noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5021075310346613800.post-88132938478195928222010-03-14T14:17:00.000-07:002010-03-14T14:22:20.998-07:00Photo Shoot!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0MQm1yGw3aK7CZs8S8etRC1eYSGKs-ZRcIftYyuwuCKCIjImD8cF4jfm04SNkiN0PL6dJqpDYoaZ-5_aiuEqOOz6ABrc0HeKgiEyahRfIeyPzEdTJUPobe7_swupDtZSqIMV3WBrqYslo/s1600-h/kate+underbridge.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0MQm1yGw3aK7CZs8S8etRC1eYSGKs-ZRcIftYyuwuCKCIjImD8cF4jfm04SNkiN0PL6dJqpDYoaZ-5_aiuEqOOz6ABrc0HeKgiEyahRfIeyPzEdTJUPobe7_swupDtZSqIMV3WBrqYslo/s400/kate+underbridge.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448602474290987186" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIGbYHMfLv7AbhR1FTfH_nhQ26-7s3MOOloCKs5NOfPrSHOnoz2hDE7pyMXiLpWTnUEyZ9bakV3dtuLsZuyD22XRcTeb9zyGmA6q20QXaCOShJzhQqpa8cF2VMPjkELmAnlPvt8YKUXo3j/s1600-h/creepy+funtime+sam.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIGbYHMfLv7AbhR1FTfH_nhQ26-7s3MOOloCKs5NOfPrSHOnoz2hDE7pyMXiLpWTnUEyZ9bakV3dtuLsZuyD22XRcTeb9zyGmA6q20QXaCOShJzhQqpa8cF2VMPjkELmAnlPvt8YKUXo3j/s400/creepy+funtime+sam.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448602041200793650" /></a><br />This is what happens when you and your girlfriend try to have a photo shoot where you're trying to look cool. Things go horribly wrong. Me and kate were out doing stuff, hanging out under a bridge, taking pictures, ya know. The picture of me where I look like a demented wood nymph was taken in some really mystical woods next to a parking lot. I like the one of kate though.Sam Kochhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16528258714420535738noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5021075310346613800.post-65526490986203475712010-03-13T07:20:00.000-08:002010-03-13T07:53:36.075-08:00Indie? Pop? it's all good...In interesting article over at pitchfork. read it <a href="http://pitchfork.com/features/why-we-fight/7773-why-we-fight-1/">here</a>. For those of you who don't know, pitchfork is a music site, kinda like the mother of all indie music sites. I've been pretty impressed with them for a while now, well, with their writing anyway. The quality of their writing kind of makes up for the fact that they seem generally underwhelmed about all of the albums they review. This article is written by Nitsuh Abebe.<br /><br />It's good, it's kind of an examination of how my generation thinks about popular/indie music in general, and how we decide if something is 'real' or 'pretentious', or whatever. Part of what I find fascinating about art, and music especially, is how there are so many other things going on in each song that really has nothing to do with the song at all. It's what it sounds like, what it's trying to sound like, what came before from the artist, and what time period/social environment this song is being created in.<br /><br />I liked it almost all the way to the end, which I didn't like at all. Abebe goes along, talking about how we box music into different social classes, pretentious cliches, etc, but then he dihes out this AWFUL youtube video of this band Parenthetical Girls who I have never heard of before but who I now hate, thank you very much. After watching <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h19KnjDqS5M">this video</a> I literally felt physically sick. I honestly couldn't even finish it. This is a load of indie crap, dare I say, pretentious, nonsense. So congratulations, Mr.Abebe, you have made your point. The music I listen to and the things I associate with that music are usually one and the same. <br /><br />Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go write some songs on my piano, walk around in the farmers market, go to record store, and then the thrift store. I mean, thats what Zooey Deshanel does everyday! How does she find the time to be so indie and also make cute little songs about cotton? wow...<br /><br /><object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/PJFutyUrllo&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/PJFutyUrllo&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object>Sam Kochhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16528258714420535738noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5021075310346613800.post-9745130531690967322010-03-12T17:18:00.001-08:002010-03-12T17:18:57.036-08:00<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/RIJICVkbyyM&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/RIJICVkbyyM&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object><br /><br />AWESOMESam Kochhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16528258714420535738noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5021075310346613800.post-31519932295593073902010-03-12T05:55:00.000-08:002010-03-12T05:56:09.748-08:00Garden<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzrV93LOSJR78HjF3GnjTyVVIhFF88kPUsL9O_9ycC5BFgka0Levc0l4feDh7OyGOb5d9wKmhiX94u_CximkQqVHpsr5pOSDbae67ZKdgAqHU0Ije04OoAwyDpUyGBLEHbz4cMl_pBzJTI/s1600-h/Sepia+Garden.jpg"><img style="display:block;

I really made it around the city considering the short amount of time I was there. <br /><br />Most of the asteroid m music was pretty experimental and well... angry. I respect what those guys are doing, but it's not exactly my thing. Pretty hardcore stuff.<br /><br />One act that came last, that I was really a fan of was <a href="http://www.myspace.com/mainfader">Main Fader</a>. It is the moniker of my friend Dan Kenney.

I'm really trying to sample more ,and tapes are just easier then a record player. however, I could care less about the <a href="http://pitchfork.com/features/articles/7764-this-is-not-a-mixtape/">tape fad</a>, in fact I think it's fucking ridiculous. <br /><br />I'm definitely gonna stop by Kenmore Square, I love that place. On saturday I'll be checking out my buddy jeremy's band fractilian and other members of the <a href="http://asteroidmproject.com/">asteriod m</a> collective. I'm also gonna try and hook up with my buddy alex and perhaps record something or other. He makes his own sick music that can be found <a href="http://www.myspace.com/alknutson">here</a>. <br /><br />oh yeah, im also getting my website made for free! well in exchange for a piece of art, which is fine by me. thank you my brother ezra for hooking me up!<br /><br />laters<br /><br />samSam Kochhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16528258714420535738noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5021075310346613800.post-8526722100220633162010-03-04T12:29:00.000-08:002010-03-04T12:30:37.714-08:00Chaos Bot<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvaQKpOpxqIaFsXg5mP-M4yaqtOxXm7w4451CPwtOfDAUVc9v3dJzeryHdJ3t9n6M0rWz-mQlHAUhyRzs5ynyeEVIKzYXKsk1z39uG9vf6jRyyN12ECQ-9wEdeFGPBgu8yLYHeoGaondWf/s1600-h/Chaos+Bot.jpg"><img style="display:block;

I'm working on a new music project (last one was the Paugus EP) but this time its gonna be all solo. Pretty electronic I as well...<br /><br />I'm also trying to get my website up (finally) so that i can have that, here were may instances out in cali where being able to point someone to a website would have been very, very helpful. Anyway, I'm hitting the dreamweaver. <br /><br />I put the DFS mixtape up a bit ago, which can be found <a href="http://limelinx.com/files/ca6f23869911b0f037ea0791f276a34d">here</a>.<br /><br />so...

First of all, I have released a "best of" compilation for the Downeast Funk Syndicate, a rap group I was part of for a few years, Secondly, I have released two EP's for my alternative/indie group Paugus, and finally I have released a full-length alcum of my personal work entitled "Monster Evolver" on itunes. I designed all the cover art myself.<br /><br />All of these projects area available on the internet for free, except for "monster evolver" which is on itutnes and lala.<br /><br />If it seems that I have been slow on the art making lately then this is the reason.<br /><br />I'll post links to all of these albums on this blog shortly, but in the meantime I have posted the links on my facebook page.Sam Kochhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16528258714420535738noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5021075310346613800.post-61553305820585162842009-11-30T23:40:00.000-08:002009-11-30T23:54:00.947-08:00on the radioso i was on maine public broadcasting network last sunday, or should i say, a song of mine was. My song "coyote king" was on the show "in tune by ten" with sara willis. Its a pretty good show, so I was pretty happy to be on it. It feels good having my music played with my name attached to it. It makes me feel more "official" as a song writer.<br /><br />sorry i have been neglecting his blog so much. I honestly have been working on music a lot recently, but these things move in cycles. Some days I wake up and want to write a song, other days I want to make a graphic novel. I think that I'm just going to start posting whatever on here because it's stupid for me to only post scanned images. speaking of music, i have an account at "number one music" now, which is isn't that cool in itself, but it is cool that I'm getting like 500 plays a day on it. screw myspace!<br /><br /><br />so... i'll keep posting, and one of these days I may actually make some money with all this shit. That's how the "real world" recognizes accomplishment, right? <br /> <br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.numberonemusic.com/paugus"></a>Sam Kochhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16528258714420535738noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5021075310346613800.post-72383362138713603922009-10-15T16:28:00.000-07:002009-10-15T16:39:33.511-07:00thoughts on grace periodwell, I randomly decided to post my degree project, and I did it. It was a much more intense experience then I thought it would be. I got to slowly re- evaluate the whole thing, and to be honest I'm not sure I like it. I guess it's just me growing, or something. I like that I accomplished finishing a "graphic story", but I'm really not that impressed with this one, it just seems a little melodramatic and overly depressing. Granted, I was in a pretty rough period of my life when I wrote it. It's just really RAW, I guess. <br /><br />It was and still is a huge learning experience for me, which was the point, but ultimately I feel I've grown a lot as an artist since I did Grace Period, and that is a good thing. Hopefully soon I'll start posting a new comic on this blog soon, one that I'm working on right now.<br /><br /><br />It's damn cold in maine, and I'm climbing mount katadin this weekend.<br /><br /><br /><br />samSam Kochhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16528258714420535738noreply@blogger.com0
