Music is not Dead

Music is not Dead is a new photo in a series I am doing which also includes the “Kill your TV” and “Sleep is the enemy” photos I am excited to do more of these and hope to do a show just on what I call my “Dirty Art” collection and I suppose that will be the name of the show down the road, Music is not Dead is the latest in this series but it also has a much deeper meaning as a lot of the labels are in a tough time but I feel like so many people depend on music to get by day by day.

Today I am off to a shoot and have still not slept and it is about 5:30 am so I guess sleep is the enemy.

Here are the Links to Sleep is the enemy and kill your tv.

Sleep is the enemy

    I’m currently sitting down in my room, in the middle! naked, drinking tea, making art… my windows are open the breeze is coming in, and the light is shinning through my window. i feel really calm, and i like to wake up this early because it allows me to feel as if i have a longer day then any other day this past week. i bought new plants this weekend so there are some all over my room.
    Im painting and drawing and having my imac beside me, and saw you bulletin, therefore this is my inresponse.
    …also the song of the say is “Weightly Ghost” by Wintersleep, which you can listen to on my profile- www.myspace.com/gibbonflint

    HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY

    My song of the day is Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden.

  85. 85 BrianneNicole Says:

    I’m not as sick as I was last night…

    My day was pretty good, the kids I was teaching today were a lot of fun, and really well behaved haha.

    I think I’m going to go eat something here in a bit, all I’ve eaten today is grapes, and a biscuit…probably do need to eat something haha

  86. 86 Paula Says:

    Hi Tyler, Long time no see!!..I have been so busy with promotions for HIM and Shiny Toy Guns…never get a chance to get on much..How are things going?

  87. 87 tyler Says:

    things are going great paula how are you?

  88. 88 tyler Says:

    thats awesome Briii which one is your fav?

  89. 89 bran-dee! Says:

    you should, tyler..
    kill your tv is my main fav. of yours.
    =]

  90. 90 Briii Says:

    So far probably this one and Sleep is the Enemy. =]

  91. 91 tyler Says:

    thats amazing

  92. 92 BrianneNicole Says:

    Paula I am not so fond of HIM but I love love love Shiny Toy Guns, I bet it is amazing working promotions for them. I would find it quite amazing haha.

  93. 93 Paula Says:

    pretty good just really tired..I’ve been going back and forth from Indianapolis to Chicago for like the last three weekends!!..Kill Hannah is off tour now so I have other bands to chase around..STG for one..lol

  94. 94 BrianneNicole Says:

    Tyler No one likes Thrift 1984!!! That one is my favorite!!! The first time I saw it was just roaming through your art.

  95. 95 tyler Says:

    thats awesome

  96. 96 tyler Says:

    aaaah people love that one i just never post it anywhere

  97. 97 Paula Says:

    Oh it’s great but really tiring!! I feel like I should be at most of the shows when I do promotions unlike some other promoters..I get there at the earliest and stay till after the after-parties..lol.

  98. 98 BrianneNicole Says:

    Paula how do you get into working promotions?

    I work in studios a lot, I love the recording and engineering side of music…but I have also managed a couple independant bands, and promotional work seems interesting.

  99. 99 BrianneNicole Says:

    that’s dedication haha

  100. 100 Paula Says:

    Brianne, do you know who Kill Hannah is?

  101. 101 Joy Says:

    Earlier tonight I ordered a pizza online from Papa Johns and an hour went by and it still hadn’t come, so I called the store manager. You know what he said? I don’t have enough drivers and, if you don’t like it, you can call the online number. I got so mad!!! I totally chewed him out (without yelling) and he said the pizza was on its way and on the house. Bad service is one of my pet peeves. What is yours, Tyler?

    Love the picture and the question. I believe that music is inside all of us and therefore can never die BUT, if it died, I would continue to make my own, like I do now.

    Yes, please, make that picture into a poster. Great idea, AD FAB!

  102. 102 Paula Says:

    I’m also managing a couple of bands who are just getting started here..

  103. 103 jodi Says:

    i love it.

    i would definitely come if you did a show in chicago.

    i’m watching heroes right now!

    song of the day: histrionics-the higher

  104. 104 BrianneNicole Says:

    yah, I like them. They’re pretty good.

  105. 105 Paula Says:

    sometimes it pays off and sometimes I get carried away wth the after-parties..lmao….I once spent more on the after-party for a band called Deadstar Assembly then I made on the door!!

  106. 106 Erin Navy Red Says:

    Tyler i love this!!!!! I think Tom Petty would love this too. It reminds me of his style…

  107. 107 Gilles Says:

    Keep it dirty!!! ;-)

  108. 108 Paula Says:

    my myspace is crimsondoorpromotions..myspace.com/heartagramluvr..you should add me…I’m a big Kill Hannah fan..

  109. 109 BrianneNicole Says:

    haha that could be bad haha…

    When I was managing I payed for studio time for a band, lost a lot of money on that one, but they’ve gotten bigger, but stay local still…so I’m just glad that they have grown haha.

  110. 110 tyler Says:

    Erin Navy Red i will send it to him how are you?

  111. 111 tyler Says:

    i will Gilles

  112. 112 Gilles Says:

    I hadn’t seen “Thrift 1984″? I love it too! May I ask why ‘84?

  113. 113 BrianneNicole Says:

    okay I will add you

  114. 114 Paula Says:

    to get into promotions I had a lot of help form Mat Devine the lead singer of Kill Hannah and Tom HIMs tour manager but I pretty much started out doing fliers and such and graduated to actually getting a license and freelance promoting untill I actually started getting paid

  115. 115 tyler Says:

    would you buy it Joy?

  116. 116 tyler Says:

    long story behind that photo gilles thirft is where i bought those shoes 84 is the year the girl whom i bought them for was born

  117. 117 Paula Says:

    by the way Tyler I really like your newest photo..I’ll post it right away!!!..It really makes a statement..so true

  118. 118 tyler Says:

    thank you very much let me know if you need the code

  119. 119 Gilles Says:

    héhé that’s a fun story for this title! It seems to tell totally something else quite powerful, VERY clever idea! :-) This is ONE intelligent way to create a title, respects!

  120. 120 BrianneNicole Says:

    that’s cool…

    I’ve lost touch with most of the connections I had when I was managing..

    I probably never should have stopped haha

  121. 121 Ab Fab Says:

    Tyler I really really like this….alot

  122. 122 tyler Says:

    thanks ab fab did you ad it to your page?

  123. 123 BrianneNicole Says:

  124. 124 Ab Fab Says:

  125. 125 Ab Fab Says:

    hey BriannaNicole how are you?

    Tyler how are you doing?

  126. 126 tyler Says:

    the music section?

  127. 127 Ab Fab Says:

    ahaha thanks captain obvious;P I was trying to think of something else.

    ….I will probably do that though ha

  128. 128 tyler Says:

    ahahahha

  129. 129 Ab Fab Says:

    cap’n shields

  130. 130 BrianneNicole Says:

    Tyler is not captain obvioius Ab Fab, I took that position long ago, and I have yet to step down haha…

    I’m good, I have not talked to you in quite awhile haha…

  131. 131 Paula Says:

    well i have to get going but it was great talking to you guys!!,,have a great night..and Brianne don’t forget to add me!!..Good night!!

  132. 132 BrianneNicole Says:

    My friend Matthew got arrested this morning for trying to nap in bushes!! haahaha…

    that makes me laugh haha. He’s a crazy boy and I adore him to death!

  133. 133 Ab Fab Says:

    school is really crazy right now.It’s so stressful I’m actually sleepy.

    no late chats:(

  134. 134 tyler Says:

    ahahah

  135. 135 BrianneNicole Says:

    aww poor ab fab haha…you should take naps

    I miss classes soo much haha. But my job is exhausting enough without adding classes to it too haha

  136. 136 BrianneNicole Says:

    tyler what are you laughing at?

  137. 137 ashlee Says:

    i am currently sewing till my chubby little hands go numb..i need a new outfit for tommorow…and i have nothing….cuz im so fucking lazy i can ever do laundry by myself….i really need my maid to come by more often..im going to san fransisico for some debut fashion show…its supposed to be really nice…but i doubt it…its at someones house…

    whatever.

    i really love your picture….its very meaningful
    and i agree with it …i hate it when chaps like my englis professor tell me music is dead…its not…he just needs to grow out of his ignorance…and realize whats new..

    theres alot of good music submerging…and im liking it very much.

    ok well….it was great telling you about my day.

    -ashlee

  138. 138 Ab Fab Says:

    haha oh I’m taking naps too…and a bubble bath everyday, to workout stress knots in my shoulders.

    Sleep is my friend lately and that’s a good thing.

    insomnia was always fun;]

  139. 139 tyler Says:

    thank yyou ashlee how are you?

  140. 140 tyler Says:

    and your english professor is very very wrong!!!

  141. 141 BrianneNicole Says:

    insomnia is indeed fun haha. I miss not sleeping, but sleep is nice when I get it. I still don’t sleep a whole whole lot…but it’s sleep.

    Ashlee your professor is definately wrong. He needs too look at independant groups that are coming out. Many of them have a 60s vibe that I really really like haha.

    Bubble baths are nice, I have not had one in a long time…I currently do not have a tub though, and I cannot take bubble baths haha…but they are a big stress relief definately Ab Fab

  142. 142 Erin Says:

    I love this picture! Def one of my favorites! hmmm song of the day…

    Night of the dancing flame by Roisin Murphy

  143. 143 Erin Says:

    Oh and radiohead is awsome, they are my muse. I developed a fashion line and a tv show concept off their music.

  144. 144 tyler Says:

    thank you Erin how are you?

  145. 145 BrianneNicole Says:

    OH GEEZ!! Okay I’m at a friends house and some people are watching the bachelor, and geez I swear the girls that are on this show have no brain!!!

    All I hear is oh gosh, oh my gah, oh my gash, and they all sound the same, like mindless airheaded blondes who have no personality at all…it’s all the same…can I throw up please?

    No offense to any blondes by the way haha. My sister is blonde and actually has a personality so I know they exist!

  146. 146 Joy Says:

    Yes, Tyler, I would buy it as long as it’s not humongous, and hang it over the place where all my CD’s are stored.

  147. 147 Asia Says:

    Love this picture!

  148. 148 Illanya Says:

    I am debating whether or not I love this photo.
    I like it, no doubt.

    1. yes. sleep is the enemy, and kill your tv.
    2. watching a scanner darkly
    3. don’t watch heroes anymore, so that’s a big negative.
    4. i can’t sleep
    5. i would love to attend, however, you, goodsir, are very far away.
    6. anything radiohead is amazing so that’s a yes.
    7. the song of the day=bernie by the feverfew

  149. 149 tyler Says:

    thanks asia how are you?

  150. 150 Asia Says:

  151. 151 tyler Says:

  152. 152 Dani Says:
