Self-Produced Videos

I don't claim to be a pro videographer, just a guitar player with iMovie. That hasn't stopped me from trying my hand at creating a moving image to go along with my songs. Stay tuned for more of these...

Keep On Talkin'

This song is about the masters of spin and the wave of the future that will wash over them. I did the video right before the November election which kicked a lot of these sleasy types out of government. But don't get too cocky, there's plenty more where they came from!

Nickel and Dime

I wrote this song because I got sick and tired of constantly being a target of incessant marketing. To be a citizen of the USA does not mean we need to give in to the mercantile consumer-driven culture if we don't want to. And I don't want to. I did the video in celebration of Buy Nothing Day

   About Joe Shade
Human history is like a river, always flowing, unstoppable. In our distant aboriginal past it could only be altered by natural forces. Modern man now dominates nature and the world is organized into a stratum of the powerful and the powerless. This unregulated domination is causing the river to overflow its banks. It is now conceivable that these waters will overwhelm the old corrupt ways of doing things and forever change our social landscape in ways we could only dream of just few short years ago. In my music I have always striven to anticipate these times. Like a canary in a coal mine, I am sounding out a warning of the vapors in the atmosphere, the rising of the waters and the coming fall which we are just now beginning to come to grips with. I was once naïve enough to believe that the political and the musical were not compatible. Now I’ve come to see that almost every mundane act or gesture we make is soaked in political significance. So go ahead label this music as “political.” I’d like to think that I’m just being realistic!
