Hip-Hop meets DIY meets Tiny Housing? WTH!??


 Hip-Hop meets DIY meets Tiny Housing?

Yup, the three have been combined, and soon rivers shall reverse their course, the moon shall rise as blood red, and a great hail of locusts shall descend upon the earth....well, maybe not, but we've combined ALL THREE for our "Tiny Yellow House" series on youtube.

This shall also be OUR LAST EPISODE for MAKE MAGAZINE for some time- long, well, not so long, story..... we'll still be doing a TON of episodes for the RelaxshacksDOTcom youtube channel, and I've been hosting, designing, and building for The DIY Network, so don't worry, there's LOTS to come!

Basically, I wrote, rapped-on, and recorded a hip-hop tune over at the ever-awesome ACOUSTACK STUDIOS in Hull, MA (run by Joe Calabria), and with Steve Sherrick, who has recently worked on films for Adam Sandler, Steve Carrell, and beyond, we've been shooting a music video. One of the locales.....my not-quite-finished guest/art shack..... we needed a colorful backdrop for some of the guitar playing scenes, and well, colorful it certainly is!

Bill "Attackin'" Bracken on Guitar. The man once played a solo so sweet, story goes, that Chuck Berry asked for HIS autograph!
