I couldn't be happier to tell you how I spent the very first day of 2014, which was creating and editing this found footage video for the Marquis Himself: multi-talented actor, musician, and all-around bon vivant Michael Des Barres! The song, written, arranged, and produced by De Barres and Jeremy Little, is by amazing cosmic coincidence entitled "2014," and is a glam-poppy, drum-thumpin' call to cast off your glowing screens and dance, with little hints of "Jean Genie" and friendly anarchy-for-humanity in the air. To quote another talented British musician, "war is over, if you want it," and 2014 is absolutely what you make it. So dig it!
Many televisions were sacrificed in the assemblage of this video, with some help from those legendary professionals, Messrs. K. Moon and K. Richards. "2014" is from Michael Des Barres upcoming EP, "Solutionism," and you can go HERE to purchase the track NOW, and you can go HERE to read more about all the cool things he's doing!
Thanks to MDB and Kitty Page -- I had a blast with this!
