Hampden Baltimore Maryland November 10 2009 1:12 A.M. till 1:16 A.M.

This video was captured at Frasers on the Avenue in Baltimore. On this night John Clark and Kevin Hall, two friends who are up and coming comedians in the small but burgeoning independent comedy scene, decided to take a stab at the karaoke machine.

Over the course of the next few days I'm writing little songs-sketches is a better concept.

In light of citation, each song is made up of ripped samples from the few thousand CDs I have lying around the basement. Each bit of information is recontextualized and remixed to create a grossly unwholesome interpretation. Beats n' pieces, so to speak.

But this first one is a remix and degradation of an interview I did with my friend Marisa Hilton. You can hear the full story at http://1000faces1000stories.blogspot.com/.
