Stop the presses!  After 23 years, it’s time to say goodbye to the old Post Office Box.  It was opened in 1990, near as I can figure, for the then nascent “YURI: Magazine of Tomorrow.”  And it has served me well as the proper mailing address for Naked Rabbit and its subsidiary concerns for this long time. But face it, that box is in midtown L.A., and I have not lived in that area since the end of 1995.  That P.O. Box was a bit out of the way.

So it has been retired.  Mail sent there will be forwarded to the NEW P.O. Box, on my side of town:

P.O. Box 50632
Los Angeles, CA 90042

Do not displease a cat, especially in this rude fashion.

Pass this around, blog it, repeat it, post it, send it everywhere.  While you’re at it, grab this image macro and start posting it everywhere.  It has lots of uses.

Where is the next music video?

Yes, I’m quite surprised that no one has asked that.  Not a single person.  Either this project has been forgotten or anyone reading this is feeling bad about asking me what must be a touchy subject.

AND IT IS.

The old computer died.  That’s the simplest explanation.  The G5 Quad is no more, that noble beast.  A not-so-new refurbished 3 year old Intel Mac Pro has taken its place.  It took almost two weeks just to set the thing up.   That holidays end of the semester… the perfect storm.  This project is obviously going to drag on until the New Year.  I will simply pretend that the year “2012″ actually ends with the Luna Calendar, thus I have until February to make things good.  And since the horrendous din of millions of voices clamoring for new work from me has been relatively easy to shut out, I’ll let myself off the hook.  In the meantime, amuse yourself with the work above.

The Naked Rabbit Music Video Project #4

One music video every month throughout 2012. All original songs, all original production, all original video.





May Entry: Learn about hamsters with the Black Death Metal band “Bloodfïstre.” This dynamic two man team of Ülric Hjammerthrjob and Ümlaüt Ødinsblüt will blast you away with searing skull-crushing METAL. Only this time they hope you’ll learn a little about the desert’s wiley rodent friend, the noble hamster. Then you will perish beneath the unholy assault of soul-destroying METAL. You may be driven completely insane, but you will have learned so much about a pet you can enjoy for about 2 years.


Special thanks to Darren Frydendall and Dimitri Timohovich.


This one was a whirlwind, to try to stay current with the deadlines. Shot in a couple hours in one evening, out by the Demon House at the back of our property. Good thing I have not yet finished fixing that building – it looks decayed enough to suit these two fellows. Dimo brought the pyro, as usual, an off-brand “candle” that sucked so bad it was only good for the likes of this project. Beckie was on hand with the smoke machine – you can see her in the clip.


I would imagine that “Bloodfïstre” are two guys who have known each other since grade school and who make this kind of noisy black metal in one of their Mom’s basements. They have CDs on CDBaby and MP3s up at Soundcloud, but no one outside of their town in Minnesota has heard of them. Heck, most folks in their town have never heard of them, and no one can actually read that logo they drew in study hall.


The Bloodfïstre guys I imagine are both in their mid-40s, and they’ve run out of really evil topics to write songs about, so they’ve turned to anything they can think of… in this case, hamsters.

The Naked Rabbit Music Video Project #4

One music video every month throughout 2012. All original songs, all original production, all original video.

April Entry: Delayed by Disease and Disaster. The Ignorance Team have done it again! This popular number is based on the mating dances of bees, and has been known to ease coughing symptoms. You’ll find your toes a-tappin’ and your brain searching for exactly where that loop came from. Don’t try to dance like that hot dog, though, or you’ll end up in a hospital!

Finally, the fruits of my labors over the last few difficult months. No expense has been spared, no technique overlooked to bring you this festival of funny dancing. From an aborted by good-hearted attempt to use the Kinect to an effective an entertaining use of Open Sound Control to make the duck honk, I’ve done way more hours of work than this little clip can possibly show. All for you, dear viewer, who I wish to please like no other.
