Last Samurai?

Maybe so.

Here are some photos from the session de samurai last week.

One of these will be used as back cover of the album when it’s released as CD.

This photo session was so fun the photographer and I are now thinking about sequels to this.
A Last Samurai photograph series.

The album cover art is done, and this weekend my friends and I will be shooting a video for the song “Cheeseburger Baby” which will be the single off the new album.

Here it is. A home video-esque sample trailer for VME’s upcoming album “Village Avant-Garde”, due out next month. You can get a very basic idea of what this album smells like. All shot here in Tokyo with a bunch of my friends. Some parts of it are from the Samurai photo shoot from last week that I talked about here on this page.

It’s home-made for my friends and Voluntary Mothers all around the world to have a taste of my home. Not for the masses, but please enjoy the hand-made-on-a-budget feel of this video.

A “real” music video for one of the songs off the album coming up in a few weeks.

Here’re some testimonials from folks who already bought this album.

“I really dig the updated versions of Jeremy Thorn and Makes Me Wonder. It’s also badass how so many of the songs have a knee-jerk section where it’ll go from rock to a xylophone solo, stuff like that. One more thing, I almost crashed my car I was laughing so hard when you did that “OOH… OOH… OOO-EEE-OOOOH!” sound on one of the tracks. Great fuckin work man!”
-Chad McCanna, Los Angeles CA, USA

“I received Unacceptable Vegetable for x-mas. It’s one of those CD’s you can just hit play on and not touch again. Michael Jackson is tight!”
-Sam Respess, Denton TX, USA

“Hottest album in YEARS. It’s like riding a roller coaster backwards and slamming into the residence of Adam’s Family! And your parodies,,, I laughed my butt off!”
-Yoshikuni Tsuji, Tokyo, JAPAN
