Arts & Crafts Nixes Jason Collett's Rap Tracks

Toward the end of last year, we checked in with Broken Social Scenester Jason Collett, to find him talking up his next effort as his "guitar record," offering up a couple tracks to put his MPEG-1, Layer 3 where his mouth is. More reports from the studio: Here Jason is joined by producer Howie Beck and bassist/rapper Michael P. Clive in a Video Hits 1-style exposé on how his new record suffered due to the meddling bastards at Arts & Crafts.

Here's the final edit. The rap didn't make it.

Jason Collett - "Out Of Time" (MP3)

Another one here. Here's To Being Here is out 2/5 on Arts & Crafts.

these boring 40-somethings need to stop the Pavement rip-off songs and actually do something relevant

Brilliant. And very refreshing. Who needs another boring 'in the studio' piece or lip-synched video?

Can't wait for the album.

Usually these guys are great, but this is just BOOORING.
Maybe Mike Clive should just stick to his cooking show...http://michaelpclive.com/

Horse Feathers - "Father"

Portland songwriter Justin Ringle's evocative vocal twang and sharp lyricism are at the center of Horse Feathers' bedroom Americana. The band's second album House With No Home, which follows 2006's Words Are Dead, finds Ringle's vision fleshed out by multi-instrumentalist/composer...
