Anything Box | Every single Day (remixed)
[LESS INFO] 2 VIEWS | ADDED 21:44:08 07/07/08
“This version of ‘Every Single Day’ is the Remix that I did back in 1994. The video was directed by Greg Baird , a college student that Dania knew. We sometimes looked at this one a failed attempt to capture the ‘Pop Rave’ scene that was in Los Angeles . Although we were not part of it officially, we were always invited to play these events. At what was supposed to be the largest, the cops showed up and arrested everyone. Our equipment was thought stolen, but it was later given back to us by a fan that had managed to keep it from the police. Talk about good luck, huh? Oh, the opening bit is at The Roxy in L.A…”

About Anything Box & EndpopTV:
Anything Box was once described by the Village Voice (NYC) as having “…Some of the loveliest and most cunningly arranged pop music around…” And yet they still don’t receive nearly as much airplay as they deserve. Well, who cares anyway? They certainly don’t. What they do care about (and vehemently so) is the art itself. And they love and revere their fans’ support. And thus here we are.
The videos presented here are unique in that the footage to create them comes mostly through fan tapes . Anything Box was working on a film entitled, ‘ Fan Tapes and Time Travel’ , and some of the episodes are indeed on this site. Since then, they have begun to release individual songs from the series, and this is what is presented here. We encourage you to share this music with everyone, and please comment, as this is very appreciated by Claude , Paul , and Dania . And BTW, all this great music is available on iTunes and CDBaby.com .
Some of the songs featured on EndpopTV are: Living in Oblivion , Yesterday , When We Lie , Heaven60 , Every Single Day , Carmen , Answer Me , and more . So stay tuned in! Remember to leave a comment and subscribe to this channel! This is for you!

Anything Box | Heaven60
[LESS INFO] 6 VIEWS | ADDED 18:38:48 07/07/08
“ Heaven60 is a song I wrote about the two absolutes in life: being born and dying. What do we do with the uncertain in-between? Contemplate or experience it? It was also a goodbye to my father who died of Cancer. Aside from that, the meaning is up for debate, which is what songs should do. This was recorded in El Paso at Club 101. The footage was badly damaged, and so I had to re-create the track, using both the vocals from the tape and the original song when the drop outs happen. The extra ‘strange footage’ was pure chance discovery…”

Anything Box | Yesterday
[LESS INFO] 1 VIEWS | ADDED 17:05:53 07/07/08
“ Yesterday ” was an unfair whim of mine. I convinced the band to do it as an encore and it almost didn’t happen. None of them really knew the chords, we had never rehearsed it. Gary and Dave worked out their parts just seconds before and we went for it. I think it is one of my happiest of moments. I am very grateful to my friend Marcelo for having captured this moment in time… We’ve never done it since…”

Anything Box | The Studio
[LESS INFO] 1 VIEWS | ADDED 04:19:35 06/09/08
It's just a peak of the studio of course. The secret parts are still a mystery, but we thought you might like to see where magic is sometimes created. It's a small room now, but it used to be bigger, and as stated, not all of it is visible here.
Notice Drum Machine Head? :)

This is technically not an episode of Fan Tapes and Time Travel, unless of course you consider that the song in question comes from a tape . Not just any tape, but a long forgotten album recorded in one day , back in 1987/88 by Claude . Its inclusion in the series comes from a simple fact: this is the past, here is the present. By watching it, you are time traveling!
The clips you see, with the exception of the film bits, are all paintings and drawings by Claude S. of Anything Box . These also span from that era to now. They are part of an online installation known as 'The Book of Nineteen', which can be viewed in its entirety here: http://www.anythingbox-nineteen.com .
You will also get an entire glimpse of the album as well, which you can enjoy for free as you look into the pages from the book itself. But be careful, these images may induce emotions...
The album is available only as an exclusive download from these fine stores in High Quality .wav format and MP3 for your iPod . Get it here:

Episode 3 | Anything Box | Fan Tapes & Time Travel
[LESS INFO] 1 VIEWS | ADDED 04:12:59 07/25/07
Welcome to Episode 3 of the serialized Anything Box film, ‘Fan Tapes & Time Travel’. This serial is a trip through time, using the lens and cameras from fans from all over the world. The time periods jump from 1988 to the present day, and everything in between. Are Anything Box time travelers? Or are they merely resilient? Only one thing is for certain: art speaks for itself.
| Anything Box | Fan Tapes & Time Travel | Episode 3 |
Claude: “This was, at the time, the biggest show Anything Box had done. There was no endpop.com yet. This was a trying period. This was when we were riding the high of Peace and Living In Oblivion, but had just left a major label. The Hope era had just begun, and Orangewerks was an idea waiting to happen. I think Answer Me was a new song…
What I remember the most was that fans had dropped from the ceiling, and we elected to protect them since security was looking for them with tazers. Also, the front doors of the soccer stadium were broken as people came in to the venue. Our road manager at the time and my good friend, Tito, filmed most of this. Oh, I apologize in advance for the clothes. I just wanted to be comfortable. Who knew?”
The song is featured during this episode is Kiss of Love…

This is it! Prepare yourself for a journey into sound and strange music. Well, maybe it isn't so strange. It's pop after all, no?
Endpop presents Fan Tapes & Time Travel: Episode 1, the first of a series of films about Anything Box, their fans, and the band's ability, or rumor, that they time travel.
It all begins here. But when is where?
This episode features: Automatons, Emitter, and Heaven (1988)!
