I'm Andrew Formale. I'm a musician, and recent college graduate of the Purchase College New Media program. I play guitar in hardcore bands Breathtaker and The Legacy Hour, and have a strong interest for technology, photography and video production. I'm really quiet and shy upon meeting me. Once you get to know me though, you won't shut me up. I plan on using this thing to write game reviews, overviews of shows I attend, random thoughts on life, and maybe post some photography here and there. Enjoy.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
It offends and infuriates me that bands like this get signed to label’s, while bands like mine and many others are breaking their balls trying to even get 3 kids to listen to their music. This is a disgrace to the world of music and Victory Records should be ashamed. I’m so disappointed. Fuck this band.
Convo I just had on AIM with an apparently spammed account of an old friend:

Betrayal - Without A Doubt. I used to not like this band. This song is way too intense not to enjoy. Vast improvement.
I do not
I’ve neglected this thing.
Soo since my last post I’ve been working at Comcast Spotlight for about 4 months now. I have mixed feelings about it. I’m learning a lot, making a lot of money, but the overall environment of the workplace there just isn’t really….me. It is way too corporate, everyone’s so anti-social, and when something doesn’t go right, its way more stress than I need.
I really cannot see myself there working there full time as a career. While it is a good internship and learning experience, it is more stressful than enjoyable.
However working at Comcast has made me push myself in creating more of my own video work. I bought a new HDV camcorder as well as a new wide angle lens to get more footage in frame. I’ve been making music videos, documentaries, and random video art pieces in my free time. It feels good to be doing that again. If you guys want, check out some of the work:
