"Give Me A Beer" - Song

"Give Me A Beer" - Song
I love recycling! That's why I thought I would bring out this classic song from my band the Fragile Hum. You thought I only liked to make talk shows about beer, but what most of you didn't know is that I also wrote a song about beer. This performance of "Give Me A Beer" was recorded at the Velvet Lounge in Washington, DC in September 2003. It features James Knott on vocals, Todd Huyghe on guitar, Gene Moore on bass and Nathan Lorentz on drums. The Fragile Hum was the best band ever - better than the Beatles. :) Here is a link to a demo recording of "Give Me A Beer" that you can download for your iPod or MP3 player. agileh.com If you use the song to make a music video about beer I will post it to our website! Thanks for watching and listening. Let me know if you'd like me to upload more Fragile Hum songs. From: AgileHProductions Views: 312 9 ratings Time: 03:38 More in Music

How to maintain a consistent video posting schedule [Creator's Tip #24]
We all know it's important that we upload video content on a regular basis because it helps us build momentum, increases our videos' ranking in search, and keeps our audience engaged. But sometimes keeping up with a regular schedule is just too difficult because our content requires high production value that's unreasonable to pull off on a weekly basis. Other times it's just because we don't have any more ideas for video content. In this week's Creator's Tip I give you guys 5 ideas (plus a bonus idea) for how to develop and maintain a regular, consistent uploading schedule for your videos.

Meet the new Freddie Mercury...
[LESS INFO] 7 VIEWS | ADDED 03:58:48 09/25/11
Throughout the day yesterday, my Twitter and Facebook feed EXPLODED with links and posts about my buddy Marc Martel of the band Downhere who uploaded a video to YouTube a few days ago which went viral. And by viral, I mean more than 1.5 Million views in less than 3 days! The video he submitted is a recording of himself singing a cover of the Queen song Somebody to Love as part of the Queen Extravaganza competition. Queen drummer/songwriter/singer Roger Taylor launched the competition only a few days ago in honor of the 40th Anniversary of the band Queen and offers the opportunity for winners to tour in the Queen Extravaganza Live Tour in early 2012. Music fans worldwide have suddenly discovered what we downhere-fans have known for years: that Martel's Freddie Mercury impression and likeness are beyond stellar. However it's not just an impersonation - Marc's actual singing voice lends itself not only to Mercury, but in the early days of downhere, he was often compared to the likes of Bono of U2 and even former DC Talk member Kevin Max. (I really should dig up a copy of Downhere's cover for U2's Beautiful Day ; my husband and I preferred it over the U2 version, but I know that's a bit sacrilegious to say out loud.) Marc has even ventured into singing opera in the past few years, which may seem a little farfetched for a rocker, but as one commenter stated, "This guy is the Swiss Army knife of singing!"
Though it may seem like videos go viral all the time, Marc stated in an interview with WGBL that the reporter he talked to from the Wall Street Journal on Friday said it truly isn't that common. Nonetheless, views today (Saturday) have grown to more than 1.8 Million total views, and strangely enough many fans including myself have noticed the YouTube counter seems to get "stuck" on the play count for several hours before jumping up again.
I have known the members of Downhere, Marc, Jason, Jeremy and Glenn, for about 10 years now, ever since a friend at Word Records introduced me to them and asked me to edit a promotional music video for their first album release. From the moment I first heard clips of their to-be-released debut until now, they have been my absolute favorite band. I've always told them that someday I expected them to get a big break like Christian rockers Switchfoot did in 2003 when their fourth studio album suddenly sold 2.6 Million copies after being marketed to the mainstream music industry. While this is certainly not the same story, Marc's new-found fame will certainly prove to enhance the awareness of Downhere . Over the years I have heard SO many new fans discover Downhere's music and say things such as "WHY aren't you all better known? This band has so much talent!" However, I also believe that God has used their journey to keep them grounded as the most down-to-earth set of performers that I have ever encountered. Not a concert goes by where they don't spend at least 30-45 minutes after the show in the lobby greeting every single fan who wants to meet and talk with them. This deep connection to their concert goers has established a grassroots fan base for them that has grown and sustained them as a band over a decade when many Christian performers have come and gone.
FINALLY an opportunity has arisen that will shine the spotlight on these guys who spent 9 of the past 10 years touring North America in a 15 passenger van. Media coverage by outlets such as The Wall Street Journal, CNN, Huffington Post , and the CBC to name a few, has just started. Whether Marc gets a chance to perform with Queen in early 2012 or not is yet to be seen, but many fans feel it would be a travesty otherwise.

ITP0028 - Organizing your Aperture Library using Folders, Projects, Albums and SmartAlbums
[LESS INFO] 17 VIEWS | ADDED 13:46:28 08/19/11
Organizing your images in Aperture
There are many different approaches to organizing your images in Aperture - Apple® , and my approach is one of them. I did already experiment with 2 different approaches and I will tell you the advantages / disadvantages of both. In this tutorial we will be focusing purely on the organization aspect and you will learn everything about Libraries, Projects, Folders, (Smart)Albums and how you can use them to organize your images.
The Library
The top level of organization is an Aperture Library. As you will see in the tutorial, it is fairly easy to create a new library, and with Aperture 3 you can easily switch between libraries. Every Aperture Library contains it's own sets of Projects, Folders, Images, Albums, ... Additionally every Library has it's own set of faces, places and keywords too. Personally I'be been using a separate library for Family pictures and another library for professional pictures. This isn't necessary but I like to separate those images, so I can back them up separately. Additionally, I don't want the faces of people I shot at a work related event to mix with the faces of friends and family members.
Folders
Folders can be used to organize your Project and Albums. You can create folders at the Library level, but you can also create folders inside projects. My Library has a folder structor which looks similar to Category/Subcategory/Event/ but a Structure which looks like Category/Client/Year might be more suitable for a professional library.
As I mentioned, folders can contain Projects and (Smart)Albums. Lets say you have a folder called Family Events, which contains several projects for Birthday Parties, Thanksgiving diners, ... Well if all those projects are within one the folder Family Events, you could easily create a smart album containing all images in which You have been tagged or your face has been found. That smart album would then contain all the images from all the Projects within that folder which match the given criteria. This way you can easily create albums which span different projects.
In earlier versions of Aperture we had Brown folders and Blue folders. The Brown folders were used for organization within a project, and the blue folders were used for organization outside of a project. By now ... the brown folders have disappeared, and all folders are now blue folders. You can easily move folders from one place to another, but once your folder contains one or more project, you won't be able to move that folder into a project (since it already contains projects). More professional photographers tend to organize their folders by year. For example ... a folder for 2008, then a folder for each month, and within those folders the project for each Client / Shoot. I tried that approach too, but it didn't work for me. After 3 years I started to have trouble remembering in which year I took what kind of pictures, so I switched to my approach. If I still need all images shot in a specific year ... I can still use a Smart Album for that. My new approach allows me to have a smart album for all images shot in a specific year within a specific project, and even have a smart album for all images across all project shot in that particular year.
Projects
In my personal Aperture Library, every project will be a particular event. Every project contains all the images, folders, (smart)albums for that particular project. Many professional photographers will use a project for each shoot, and I tend to do that in my more professional Aperture Library too, but in my personal library ... a project is more some kind of event. For example, I will have a project for a holiday we made, or a trip we made, a project for Christmas Eve pictures and a project for Birthday pictures. Back in the early Aperture days, there was a limit of 10.000 images for each project in your Aperture library. By now ... the limit is 100.000 images for every project within your library. This means that I can easily group all my Christmas Eves pictures together into one single project. By the time my Christmas Evens project contains more than 100.000 pictures Aperture will probably already be at version 6, and that limit will have raised anyway :-)
(Smart)Albums
As I mentioned before, I tend to use a lot of Smart Albums within and across my projects. Inside a project, I will be using Smart Albums for every year. For example, all images for Christmas are grouped within one project, but I do have a smart album which contains all images for Christmas 2002 and Christmas 2003. Smart albums can also be used to group all images take on a particular day, or containing a specific keyword, with a given rating, or any combination of those (and other) criteria.
Sometimes I also use Albums or Smart Albums to group the images I want to share on Flickr together. When we go on holiday for example, I might take 1500 shots, back home I check them, and I might 'BART' quite a few of them. Most of the time, if an image is not in focus, it will probably get deleted ... Once I've done this initial Triage, I might still have 300 - 500 images left, and it is kinda pointless to upload all those images to Flickr. Usually I take a selection of images I like, make sure they have some tags, some geocoding, and I might add a specific title or description to that image, put it in a 'To Upload to Flickr' (smart)album and once I'm done upload only those few images to a public set on flick.
Conclusion
There are many different approaches to organizing your images in Aperture , and there is no single 'Perfect way' to organize your images. Personally I picked an approach which suits me best for that specific set of images. In my case, this might even be different between a Family and Friends Library and a more Professional Library. You should probably pick the method which allows you to find your images as quickly as possible, and that's exactly what I did.
One thing to remember though is that you can do a lot with folders. Not only can you use folders to organize stuff within a project, but you can also use folders to organize across projects. Grouping projects together in Folders allows you to create Smart Albums which will show all images across those project, and that is something I use a lot.
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial. If you did ... please feel free to take a look at my images on Flickr , leave a comment on this post, and if you do have some spare time, please write a review for this podcast in the iTunes Music Store. Any feedback and suggestions are also welcome. In the mean time ... I will be preparing for the next tutorial in the Aperture series, which will take a close look at importing images ...
