  Stephen Kellogg returns to UMASS to film the video for Shady Esperanto And The Young Hearts

  posted by matt | 10.23.09 | permalink | comment?

  Featuring the UMass Minutemen Marching Band and shot in Amherst, Massachusetts, Stephen Kellogg and The Sixers‘ new video for “Shady Esperanto And The Young Hearts” is a fun excuse for Stephen and his bandmates to visit UMASS again. Stephen Kellogg got his start while attending UMASS and playing all over Western Massachusetts. Western Mass, represent!

  Lilac gods released me from the stinging queen bee
  Helped me to forget about the lions chasing me
  If a man among us has the notion that he’s free
  I entreat you to the challenge stand on up and let’s see
  You get old… I never wanna get old

  Smiling and sun baked I get jealous of myself
  That Shady Esperanto and the Young Hearts carousel
  The hardest part has always been to resurrect my soul
  Lightning in my youth and the newest way just got old…

  It got old… I never wanna get old…

  And you try and you try…
  But you can’t try enough

  But you keep fighting, you keep on fighting me
  You keep on fighting, don’t you know you already won

  Summer in the city we were hanging on the lawn
  Talking all the time about where the time had gone
  It’s not the way I thought it’d be; it’s not what I was told
  I’ve got a young heart and I don’t wanna get old

  I never wanna get old… You get old…
  I never wanna get old… I’m never gonna get old

  And you try and you try…
  But you can’t try enough

  Where is Lost’s Mind?

  posted by jamie | 09.16.08 | permalink | 2 comments

  Anyone who knows me knows I’m obsessed with Lost. Yes, yes, it’s true. I listen to many of the podcasts, watch the show religiously, own all the DVD’s, and pretty much pick it apart at any given opportunity.

  I also like the Pixies. Not obsessively so, but I have been opened up to the goodness that is their music by my wife, Jo. We even went to see them a few years ago when they played the Mullins Center at UMass.

  How do these two things relate? Well, if one pokes around youtube, one can find many fan-made music videos set to clips of their favorite shows. Some are decent, and some are just downright awful. A couple years ago, the Jay and Jack Lost video podcast showed a Lost music video set to Where is My Mind by the Pixies, and I really liked it. It’s a good song, and the clips and beats flow really well together.

  So, for those of you Lost fans who are also suffering withdrawals during this extended hiatus, enjoy:
