I made this short video as part of the Fiesta Movement. In it, I go thrift shopping with my friends Sam (of Pile of Girls + Niagara Falls) and Kate for old kid’s toys that we turn into new, and awesome electro synths with wacked out soundz.

A Continuous Lean sez:
“Celebration at Big Sur is an amazing documentary from the 1969 Big Sur Folk Festival. Nestled on the edge of the Pacific ocean, the festival saw performances by Joan Baez, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Joni Mitchell and many others. If you take the time and watch closely, there is some amazing style in the film.”
Watch all nine parts embeded there.
