Hunter Revenge - Little Baby - Yo Gabba Gabba

Here's Hunter Revenge performing the song "Little Baby" from this week's episode of Yo Gabba Gabba. Isn't this the cutest thing you've ever seen in your life? I can't say enough great things about the folks at Gabba, or about babies in general. This was a really fun opportunity and I will jump at the chance to do more things like this in the future. In fact, I'm going to go practice jumping at the gym right now so I'm ready when I get the call.

P.S. Thanks to AFI News HQ for putting this up on youtube.

Bow Hunter

People love to tell me that Hunter is an ironic name for a vegan. You think I didn't realize this already? I've been vegan since 2000 and vegetarian since 1992. I've had plenty of time to think about all the Easter egg hunts I've missed out on. My name actually isn't ironic when you consider all the international treasure hunts I've participated in over the years. Hunter is no more an ironic name for a vegan than Dick Butkus is for one of the greatest linebackers of all time.

Abraham Drinkin' Trilogy

I just thought I'd post the entire Abraham Drinkin' Trilogy before I continue posting other videos. I don't apologize if you've seen this before. Your life isn't so short that spending an additional 30 seconds watching a humorous video is going to change things for the worse. However, if you die in the next 30 seconds, then I do apologize...although I can't think of a better way to go.







Take a minute and subscribe to my youtube channel if you haven't already. It's well worth the effort.

Abraham Drinkin': An Intro to Flash

Here's my first attempt at Flash animation. This also marks my first attempt at re-imagining historical figures and the events that should have shaped history but didn't, probably because they didn't actually happen (or at least nobody knew they happened until now). I hope this doesn't land me in prison, but if it does, I'm going to get really buff.

TranquilMammoth.com has a new banner!?

YES!
I thought I'd change the banner for the O-Ten.
What do you think? Tundra? Tar Pit?
Let me know with a click below!

Also, I found this woman walking into a time warp on google street view.


GOOGLED!

P.S. I have an official Tranquil Mammoth facebook page. Become a fan, "like it", or just ignore it with hatred in your heart.

New York City! Opera! Vocal Outtakes!

Guess what! If I get this job, I will be moving to New York City!! That's right, the Big Apple! Home of the Yankees, the Mets and the New Yorker! "How did this happen??" you ask? Well, let me tell you. While browsing some of the websites I regularly peruse, I came across this employment opportunity. These are the highlights, for those of you who hate clicking on links:

METROPOLITAN OPERA
Announces the following vacancies:
CHORISTERS:
BASS or BARITONE
SOPRANO (No Mezzo-Sopranos)
Resume deadline Midnight [EST] on March 30th, 2010.
Auditions to begin April 1st, 2010 until positions are filled
HIGHLY QUALIFIED APPLICANTS ONLY

What luck! I'm the person they're looking for! I have the vocal range of a bass but sing more comfortably in a baritonal tessitura. Some would call me a bass-baritone. As a bass-baritone, the operatic roles I am suited for include Méphistophélès from Faust by Charles Gounod, Don Giovanni from Don Giovanni by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and Figaro from The Marriage of Figaro, also by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
I think the Metropolitan Opera will find this video to be an adequate audition. If they need me to drop in on April 1st to seal the deal, I can certainly repeat this performance. Although I generally reserve that day for more foolish behavior, I suppose I can get serious for a brief demonstration of my vocal prowess. I hope the job pays well. I hear those lofts in Manhattan can get pretty pricey!



Back up plan: cast member on Saturday Night Live

Rabbit Plays Drums

My good friend Ted and I shot this video last May and I only just got around to editing it. I guess that's what happens when you don't have enough free time on your hands. Editing video takes a lot longer than one might assume, and time is never free. After I successfully edit a hilarious (or just bizarre) video such as the one below, people often accuse me of having too much free time or being bored to the point of creativity. I assure you that neither are true. I'm never bored, and I can never find enough time to complete all of the projects I undertake. Having said that, I'm sure you'll appreciate the following video even more.

Eye On Music - Guest: Hunter Burgan

A year ago I was a guest on the classic music interview show, Eye On Music. I was pretty excited because as you probably know, Richard Bitterfeld has interviewed so many great musicians over the years. Everyone from Robert Smith to King Crimson to John Lennon to Mike Edwards has been a guest on the show. I've always held Richard Bitterfeld in the highest regard and considered his music knowledge to be comprehensive. That is, until I was a guest on his show. I guess when you've been doing interviews as long as he has, you're bound to have a few "off" days.



Y'all know I got mad skillz when it comes to def tambo beatz.

In The Studio With AFI - Tambourine

Dear boys, girls, cats, and dogs,*
I now present you with yet another "Behind the Scenes" video from the recording sessions for AFI's Crash Love. If you've already seen this video, that simply proves you know how to work a computer. If you're a cat or a dog, then you have obviously overcome quite a few obstacles to reach this skill level. Good job! If you are watching this video for the first time and like what you hear, wow, you must be deaf. Actually, I mean def. Y'all know I got mad skillz when it comes to def tambo beatz.



Love and Rockets,
Hunter

P.S. If anyone wants me to play tambourine on their record, send an email to badasstambourine@gmail.com (Serious requests only, please)

In The Studio With AFI - Vocal Harmonies

Dear readers,
Odds are, if you're an internet savvy lad or lass, you've already found this gem on the world wide web. If not, then here you go. You're welcome. This is one of a few "Behind The Scenes" videos the record label shot while we (AFI) were recording our most recent record, Crash Love. If you would like to purchase this record, please do. Here are a couple of lynx. Over the next week or so I'll post a few other videos from in the studio. Hopefully this will excuse me from blogger's detention.



Yours sincerely,
Hunter

P.S. I really like what you've done with your hair.
