Wouldn’t you know it? Even though this awesome thing happened much more recently, tape-music, found-sound, and collage sculptor extraordinaire Jason Lescalleet has been touring the good ol’ US of A since the good ol’ S P of Ringtime to screen his short film Trophy Tape, a “collection of thirteen mini-films” that correspond to the thirteen respective tracks off his crappy old 2012 album, Songs About Nothing. Psych! Yeah, who are we kidding? We loved the shit out of that one too… Buddies Aaron Dilloway, C. Spencer Yeh, Justin Meyers, and Olivia Block are all involved, though, and I’m sure that we probably hate some of their records!
Anyway, so yeah; I guess here’s the obvious punchline of the news story: now there’s more dates announced so that he can screen the film some more places (actually, some of them are just regular old shows, but never mind that… I’ve already come too far!). Maybe one of those places is a place in which you live and/or like to visit? If so, check out the trailer for the film down below. But yo; don’t get all-mesmerized and forget to keep scrolling down to look for your most appropriate date and city afterwards. I ain’t gonna chase you down about this shit like I did that other time.
