New way to enjoy your guitar. Play your favorite song, film it with iPhone and then if it looks good, post it on youtube.com I may not have a gig and a band, but at least I have some creative output for the things I do...

Epilogue:
And he was already a famous rockstar. Very wealthy, sold millions of records and fame and fortune and everything... Then he’s got documentary and old footages of this rockstar was discovered and then it is aired on TV. People got stoked at how good he plays his guitar and how fun he had playing his guitar and singing his favorite songs and some of the songs he wrote and still working on: i.e."If Love Is A Cross To Carry and “Love Is Like A Woman.” Great songs they are and has topped all the billboard charts. How great to hear and see them played on their early stage of being made ( as it sounded different on the album due to all the improvements being made till it has it’s final touches when it was on the Album already.) On this short film of Francis early days of rock stardom, he wore an old biker’s leather jacket one that you’d imagine Elvis and James Dean would wear on their movies where they ride a motorcycle and they’re rebels without a cause. The music sounded so raw, the guitar was not so audible but only it’s discernible tone of the strings that manage to surface from the sound of the vehicles on the freeway... The set was on the Freeway by the train tracks and there are walls and woods that looked like it has seen a lot of storms and people that has gone through the good times and the bad times of their life and the generations they belonged to, He started with a song that he was writing that time on the same spot where the film took place hence he video taped himself playing the song so he won’t forget and ended up playing some of his favorite songs like Metallica’s UNFORGIVEN and WHEREVER I MAY ROAM. REM’s Losing my Religion and Man on The Moon, There was Nirvana and Bread “Lost without your love” , A Duncan Sheik song was sang too with it’s original chords from the Album itself... Speaking of the biker’s leather jacket, Elvis song was sang there too “Fools Rush In” a song that was mentioned solely for a story idea Francis has in mind where he is a writer and everytime he writes and when he’s just in his house smoking and drinking just hanging out he imagined the movie would always play “Fools Rush In,” with a gothic feel to it like the movie SLEEPWALKER. He got the idea from the movie itself the music which inspired him to think of a story idea where the music from SLEEPWALKER has a weird melancholic synch in it not to mention a classic instrumental peice from a very old artist too... Vying to have something better than the wordless song from SLEEPWALKER, FOOLS RUSH IN could be a great song with the same gothic theme but it’s got it’s “I am a fool to fall in love” and “I don’t know why I wanted to write a Novel,” kind of thing on the movie itself. Of course the chick would be cool too and everything and has a Rebel Without A Cause Twist to it. Mind you, Francis hasn’t written a single page for it (not even a single word) but it’s nice to ponder about and I guess if you’d want to think what the character might be, then watching the video would give you a clear picture what kind of character Francis part would be in the movie. Watch the video and pick up your guitar and wipe the dust out of it and start playing those old songs that you know on your guitar and keep on rockin till your fingers hurt. Cause I sure as hell am having so much fun playing my guitar and Rock n roll dreams does come true but it’s not that easy....

KEEP ON ROCKING AT THE SMALL ROOM is a new video I released on youtube.com featured artist’s are Jewel, The Corrs, No Doubt and many more.
I sang “Don’t Speack” from No Doubt on my own (with my guitar of course.) and it sounded good. Almost got the lead part, which was my favorite part of the song when I play it on my guitar. Got that old western guitar thing on it and I hope one day if I write a song I’d have some lead part like that. Tears for Fears “Advice for the young at heart,” was sang there too and it was raw. Just got the rhythm part right.., would sounded better with it’s piano part. Maybe if I have a band, the bass and drum would do the work even without the piano and synthesizers. But what is Rock n Roll for if not for trying to sound better in it’s natural rawness and heaviness. Some band sounded better on their CD’s just cause they sounded rawness like it is live but with commercial quality on it; of course.
Then I played “Girlfriend on a Coma” from the Smith. Great song it is. I hope I sounded better cause I think I did not get the chords much right. Maybe in future filming I probably would manage to play the song the right way... In the meantime, like watching these band live onstage in concert, enjoy their music as I play em live with my new guitar that is identical to the last one. And enjoy my small skating part there too with Dido’s “It’s my Life” song... a song that I used on my last video release on youtube “Pondering about Real Estate Trend.” As they say: “One good thing deserves another.” So I hope the skating part with Dido’s song and have a great day.
Enjoy the show

I’ve been aspiring to be a Rockstar since I was young. I was good with guitar and I have a band in my hometown. Sadly, the rest of the band are scared to venture on moving to LA to try to be discovered as good band and they don’t have much confidence on the few songs we wrote. So I packed up my guitar and some of my clothes a went to LA on my own without my band--- hoping to find a band that needs a guitarist who could sing too. If not, atleast who could play guitar.
Life wasn’t so easy and the most hardest is your Rock n Roll dream to come true. Looking for some ads on the newspaper for a band that needs a guitarist or a vocalist, I stumble upon an audition for a big pop star like Roxette and Madonna to play guitar for their songs. I went in line and boom, now I’m playing my guitar with them onstage with a very very large crowd arena’s. Freakin I’m playing so hard and having so much fun and they liked my guitar playing they constantly ask me to play for their shows. And I’d have the time of my life hangin out with them hot chicks star too.
If my Rock in Roll dream is not come true, playing guitar for Madonna, Roxette and Christina Aguilerra and Celine Dion is the safest place to be: I say...
Watch me dreaming in my home office that I turned into a studio for the moment and I hope you like my video on youtube.
Have a great day....

I always dreamed of having a band and play some music on stage. Whether it be my music or some cover songs, doesn’t matter... what matters is that I am able to rock on stage and the crowds a rockin and a breakin’ their necks on the songs I played with my band..
While almost dozing at the classroom or just plainly bored to death that the teacher’s voice lecturing is nothin’ but a haze from some weird drugs you got from a weird indian who happened to sell you some sort of drugs that would get you high better than the one sold on the street; my mind would wander off the stage and some of those great arena’s like the Madison Garden and my band is already famous having released a great album and I’d try to pick the craziest name for our band bein’ as of as cool as our music. But I get home and never even opening my backpack to see if I have some homeworks to do, well, I’d rather be playing my guitar but it’s not even tuned and I could never tune my guitar even if my life depended on it. But I’d get bored right away cause I only knew a few songs and much of it are the most overplayed songs from Nirvana and Pearljam and then I’m ending up wishin’ that I know more songs and that I could finish em and done the lead parts too. All I know was the basic chords and I know some power chords but I don’t know much a song and what a frustration and I am suffering cause my rock n roll dream is a thousand miles away. So stead I try to write my own songs and play some tunes and put some words on it but then is not as good as my favorites songs then... I swearing then when I get to school I find some friends a bringing his guitar and then I try to learn some songs or ask em to teach me... Not easy too cause they would teach you but then that’s as hard learning the chords and the strumming is as difficult as first learning where to put you fingers on the strings for the chords. I’d rather not bother my friend longer and say I’d work on it at home if I so not forget the chords and the strummins. But I does and maybe my friend would teach me again tomorrow and gets it before he get’s tired a teachin me the song. Anyhow now, I find some new friends and new songs a learned and new technigues a thought and that’s a coz they’re so good already... Here thee is “I WISH I HAVE A BAND CONCERT.” I name this video o mine at my Francis Brainfloss channel on youtube.com cause I wisht I have a band and I have a concert and here yee I was playing my guitar and singing too like if I was on stage and wowing the crowd with my great guitar playin and a wonderful voice: excellen! As if I was on the Blackhole sun mountain in Seattle and was playing there that mountain that Soundgarden was playing for the video of there song: “Black Hole Sun” hence they named it Black Hole Sun Mountain and them Seattle Bands play them if your famous enough. Anyhow, I playing on this own mountain I have a camping with if I like it and do some cookin and just playin my guitar like there’s no tommorrow.. It’s not a mountain though but just a hilly slope by the vineyard. But it’s got a great view and I managed to put the camera on good an angle as if it was intended to be like that for the stage like the Woodstock. I played some of my favorite songs there including “Hound Dog,” from Elvis. Blind Melon is there and even Collective Soul and Eric Clapton’s “Layla” song. Playin it the unplugged way. Played “I will always love you” form the Cure too. Love that band too. They’re weird and they’re very cool still. I got some good stage act there I mastered the songs so well I was at ease a playin them cause I play em everyday.
Enjoy the video on top and watch some more of my videos at the youtube channel of my Francis Brainfloss...
Have a great day follks

I have been making a lot of music videos for my favorite music and artists. Then I remember that I used to play guitar and know a few songs to play... so I bought a guitar from an auction and when it arrive at home, I right away played it all day and all night that my fingers hurt...
Later, I managed to finally remember how to play my favorite songs and ripped some new one’s from my record collection and set up my videocam at my office at home and played my favorite songs, then I remembered that I went to classic guitar lesson so I tried to play a piece that I remembered from guitar school. It’s went well and after a while I posted more videos and my guitar playing improved and so is the ripping of chords of songs from just listening to them in a few notes... Anyhow, I ended up talking a little before every songs and ended up telling stories sometimes especially if I’m singing the songs I wrote; having my laptop beside me at my office on camera, so I played my iTunes app on it and end up talking a lot and whatever I like to say like if I’m in a show. So then when I watched the video later after filming, I liked the video and posted it and it turned into like a pilot for a show like a Radio show or a talk show on MTV and primetime shows like in NBC like David Letterman and those other late night show on that time slot. And I realized I could talk a lot about music and things happen before and the present while my favorite music is playing in the background...
Sometimes, I even pitch some of story ideas there cause I’m a writing and love writing screenplays when I feel like it; in fact, I even published a book called “WHERE PEACE WALKS IN A TIGHT ROPE”
And I promote my book and other products that I tried to innovate to be able to start my own business having a product of my own. It is so convenient infact since these innovated products that I made are things that I used for skating or just for styling when going out to the mall or partying somewhere cool.
This video is just one of those shows that I’ve been making recently and I hope you’d watch it and laugh out loud at my funny stories of my everyday life for struggling being down on my luck for trying to be a writer and skating and never have to work a regular day job for the rest of my life by just doing what I loved doing... like being a professional skater or a writer and even just being a screenwriter... oh, and I also wanted to be a movie star and now I want to be a musician too.
You could not imagine how many good stories and funny stories a could talk about in my shoes and being friend for my being down-on-my-luck just so I wouldn’t have to work for the rest of my life and just doing the things I love to do and make money with it... “Like another version of if you love what you’re doing, it’s not work at all.”
So check out the video and see if it’s worth to be put into a good primetime show like the David Letterman show and those other primetime shows...
HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!!

The CONCERT at the VINEYARD is the title of this video I posted recently on youtube.com I could have done better with this video and have a lot more but I was just so happy that I managed to play those songs that I loved to listen to my iPhone and stereo... They are mostly timeless classics ranging from the Carpenters, The Beatles and Bob Dylan... of course there where the most recent one’s like Alice In Chains and the Church which was a little bit older than the Alice in Chains, but I did not have much of a pattern other than that the songs a very beautiful songs and I love them and that’s why I sang them with my own version and with my own guitar. The setting was perfect too: “I was sitting indian squat by the vineyard just before sunset and when I finished singing the songs you see in the video, that’s when it’s getting dark when I tried to shoot some more for added attraction to the video.
Hence you’d see me in my sellhouitte walking by the vineyard as the sun has set and casted it’s last remaining glow above the leaves of the grape vines which I have to say I made a perfect sunset shot there that most photographer enjoyed shooting and always trying not to fail such a great moment and shot of the sunset whether it be on the beach or above the mountains.
I could have played some more but I couldn’t decide and couldn’t remember anymore of the songs I want to play because “I am so bright that I did not make a list of the songs I want to play; let alone I wrote a script.” Why would I when I am just playing my guitar and sing my favorite songs. I missed a few lyrics and notes here and there but it was just too chilly that afternoon and hey, “I still managed to have a good footage and posted them in youtube.com and I hope you’d watch the video by clicing the link above and please watch the last part of the video the: “What’s supposed to be the credit parts but I failed to put the credits anyways because I don’t want to ruin the perfect shot of the sunset with me walking with my guitar as I was leaving the vineyard. Oh yeah, and the song at the background was a beautiful song I love from Mary Chopin Carpernter’s “GROW OLD WITH ME” that I have sang numerous times on my youtube channel FRANCIS BRAINFLOSS...
It was just perfect and I hope you love it cause I sure does love these videos I made.... THEY CAME FROM MY HEART....

I sang a new song I wrote in this video. If you’re wondering why I’m doing this type of video’s I’ve been making recently: I was just actually got excited at the thought that I am deejaying for a radio station. Other than the fact that my RADIO STATION is just on my house and that I air it regularly on national television, perhaps if not--- on CABLE TV… and that I’d have viewers and of course listeners if they could not catch me on tube cause they’re on the road, they could listen to me on the RADIO or on their car stereo’s FM BAND.
Like those type of radio shows like RUSH LIEMBO and HOWARD STERN, I am just trying to have my own show and maybe people would view it as some kind of fun TALK SHOW like DAVID LETTERMAN and those other LATE NIGHT SHOWS that are trying to get the same spot or time on the DAVID LETTERMAN SHOW too. Anyhow, it might be like a WAYNE’S WORLD kind of CABLE TV SHOW but then I wasn’t in my basement in the couch but in the DRAWING ROOM of my house where I do my writing of my novels and screenplays. It’s sort of my office and I liked to play my guitar there because the sound of my guitar is a little more distorted or crispier because the walls are a little bit small like you’re in the shower. I could also sound like I’m singing in the SHOWER, hence I once thought out a name for my band as the SHOWER SINGER. Or Le showerei ( The shower Singer: in French) But then I did not have a band and I was just toying at the idea of having a band and the name is THE SHOWER SINGER. If you wonder why I would consider such a name for the BAND, well, I it’s just simply put that: YOUR VOICE SOUND BETTER AT THE SHOWER. Hence the idea was a little bit enticing. Going back to where I play my guitar: In my DRAWING ROOM, it’s also that late at night when I am playing my guitar, I won’t disturb the neighbors because the DRAWING ROOM is beside the GARAGE and and on the other side is my room and the other door is going to the LIVING ROOM of the house. No way anyone could hear my loud guitar playing outside and I like to play loud too. Anyhow, I got my laptop set up there and my iPhone on the TRIPOD and I just put it on record and just do whatever I wanted to do; play my guitar, play some music, talk whatever I want to talk about and if I wrote a song, I’d play them too on the video. Of course, I play cover song from my favorite bands because I love it too. Then I watch my videos and I thought wow, I feel like I have a RADIO TALK SHOW / TV SHOW/ AND MUSICAL SHOW where I talk about music. (Music plays a big part on this because I have my guitar with me all the time and I just pick it up whenever I like to play my guitar and play along with the music playing.) Kinda of the same as Wayne’s World where he has his guitar. Anyhow, I thought about in the end of the show is that I sing the song: Grow Old With Me from MARY CHOPIN CARPENTER because it’s such a beautiful song and that it’s words just pierce right through my heart and I am sure the viewers would feel the same when they hear the song especially at the part where I sing: God bless our love, God bless our love… I always felt like crying every time I sing the song. On this video, I talked about some funny stories at the grocery store with the ladies who worked there and also with some of the fellow shoppers like me. Luckily, both stories really happened and it was with ladies and they’re pretty too… Then I sang a new song called HAPPY TO BE THERE FOR YOU. It’s a song for my lady friend and she has some problems and me being there for her in her time of need when some of my friends could not be there. I hope you like the song and it’s a little bit sad but it really is… but I was there and it’s alright and so I wrote a song for her.

I once ambitioned to crative a some sort of T-shirt design like those I LOVE CALIFORNIA kind of tshirts. Then, I thought it would be best if it’s an I LOVE AMERICA t-shirt. My idea was to make a ramp cause I would paint the model of me flying of the ramp and doing a lean air. Then I painted my LEAN AIR picture on the SHIRT with the FLAG on the back ground and puts some flowers and grasses on the stone that holds the flag pole up. Find out the whole story on the video and then at the end of the video, I sang a song called GROW OLD WITH ME by; MARY CHOPIN CARPENTER and it was a nice song, I played my guitar with it and I was like on the verge of breaking into tears while singing the song cause it’s so sentimental and I was singing the song for my I LOVE AMERICA SHIRT.
I hope you enjoy the video and the songs I sang in this video too.

I found this park with a pyramid somewhere. I set up my camera and started skating. The Pyramid is of the color blue and made me think of the ocean. So I thought it’s best to use Enya’s music: Orinoco Flow. The skating was excellent and I had a good angle with a few tricks. The 360 Ollie and the backside 180 kickflip got a perfect shot on video like it is a picture. Only it’s a moving picture so it’s much better. I did another unique trick there the part where I jump over the tall handrail and the board just slip under the rails twisting a full 360 shuvit turn (I was just trying to see if I could jump over it but I landed it right away and rolled away on my board clean.) SO COOL! Then I did a few more unique tricks to which I haven’t got a name for it. Watch the video and check it out yourselves and see what your opinion is. Mine, I’m so happy with my work and I hope I could make more videos in that pyramid.
Have a great day folks and hope you enjoy the video.

MARY CHOPIN CARPENTER has this song in her album called GROW OLD WITH ME. It’s such a beautiful song that I used the song when I made my I LOVE AMERICA SHIRT video taped and put into one video I posted in youtube.com. Then now, I played it in guitar and I managed to finish the song without breaking into tears.
It was just so emotional song and very meaningful too.
Watch the video and listen to the lyrics and know how poetic the lyrics are on this song GROW OLD WITH ME.

I found this ledge at the back of a building. I managed to skate a little then decided to film some skating. So I set up my iPhone on a tripod. I have to do it really quick so I did not have the time to check if the camera is a little tilted on the sideway. Fortunately, it still looks good and unless you look closely or scrutinize it like I did since you could not help to notice it if you spend hours looking at the clips while editing. Otherwise, it was a perfect shot the whole way through since there was no problems with the lighting and stuff ( not that I have lighting apparatus with me, not that I own one.) I normally use a lamplight or a night light for that matter but that’s only if I’m at home; otherwise, I not only not own a lighting apparatus, I doubt I’d have a generator to hook my lamp light if I use them on my filming outdoors.
Then I skated and when you just sneak into a place a feeling nervous that you’d get busted out of the place right away, all you do is just skate as much as you could with one eye on the manager or the security cause that would be the end of your session or you might get into trouble. Then no matter how you held your breath, well, the managers of the establishment or the security always managed to spoil the fun. But I managed to get enough footage anyhow that could be useful for a video in which I right away had when I got home and check the footages that I managed to film that day: That would have to include the grass field part where the flowers has just bloomed in time for spring and when the allergies comes around too. You know what the saying is: WHAT COMES AROUND, GOES AROUND. Anyhow, I got home and was listening to this music and I thought this would be perfect for a Spring kind of video. So I right away edited them all the footages of that day. I could have had some cooking part there or whatever I do in my camp but then it would be so arduous a task to find some of the footages that I made in the past since I never chronicled them or put a file name at all. I that manner, finding a clip that I made would involved watching my video files one by one and I’m even too lazy to go through some of the videos that I made that day. ( It also included sometimes when filming my videos that I’m too lazy even to get up and place the camera in a different angle since I film all of my video my myself and just position the iPhone at an good distance and angle when doing some video parts.) So then, you’d only have like two angles of the flowers of may but it seemed satisfactory anyhow and that the story behind the video was not compromised.
Anyhow, I hope you’ll enjoy the video and have a great day.

Man, isn’t this a good thing? I’m like really a professional musician and I got my music then I have a concert and most of it is on a small concert. Then I just wear a suit all the time and I got it on video. It’s like happening already and I got a good set in my home office and I played my guitar as if I’m a rockstar and some rock journalist paid me a visit and I played a few song at my house. My house looks like a mansion inside anyhow. No problem with the vision. Hahaha, Rock N Roll dreams do come true!

HAVE YOU EVER FANTASIZE OF BEING A MUSICIAN. YOU WROTE YOUR OWN SONG AND THEN YOU PLAY YOU SONGS IN-FRONT OF ADORING FANS. THE STAGE IS SET LIKE THE MTV UNPLUGGED SETTINGS. THEN I WEAR MY SUIT AND THAT’S JUST MY STYLE AND MAN, HOW COOL IS THAT. I GOT AN ORIGINAL SONG HERE CALLED “HAPPY SEISTA AMERICA.” I WAS JUST WARMING UP AND I ENDED UP PLAYING AN ORIGINAL PIECE INCLUDING THE LYRICS.

Got to work sometimes. I made I bracelet that does not need a locket. All it need to put it on is a especially designed elastic band that would last forever as the Gold chain. No more the hassle of strapping on the tiny locks just to put it on before leaving the house. Just stretch it out and the ELASTIC BAND FROM INSIDE THE TUBE THAT SERVE AS THE NAME PLATE and when it’s on the wrist, it will just snap back on and as if the GOLD CHAIN JUST SLIPS INTO YOUR WRIST like magic and there is no locket. Now I”m making calls for this business venture. And if you’re wondering why I’m wearing a suit and I’m just in my home office, well , GOT TO DRESS FOR SUCCESS IF YOU WANT TO SUCCEED. Otherwise, sometimes I stare at the BRACELET and wonder if I’d just give it to my girlfriend. anyhow, wish me luck and I’d find a partner for this business venture.

I used to live near UNIVERSAL STUDIOS. I used to skate around those places in North Hollywood. Then I’d buy drinks and go there for lunch and use the restrooms and I’d go up there take a ride on their small bus up. I’ve already been on the studios a million times and screamed a million times when Kingkong’s head suddenly comes out in the open and open his mouth and the fangs would show as if he’d eat you alive. There’s the set for the WATER WORLD where they’d replay the stunts of the movie in real life. They’re blow my mind and I wisht I’d make those kind of movie and have a pool as large as that just so I could shoot the stunts in safety and put some effects on it. The Jaws scene on the ocean is great too. They’ve put there the part where the artificial ocean is and the SHARK would suddenly scare you near the ride. They have there now too the ARMY HOUSEWIFE I think, the one with TERI HATCHER and we just passed by the set though. There’s houses there from the TV show and there inside is where they shoot the TV series ARMY HOUSEWIFE and it was nice. I wisht I was able to get inside and take a look but the show is recently on going so the outsiders are not allowed inside. And I wish I caught them there shooting for the show but they did not. However, I saw Teri Hatcher one’s and she was actually a friend of a guy who works where I hang-out and skate sometimes. I mean, he’s just a cool guy with long hair but he drives a BMW and he’s probably so wealthy or something but he says hi to me though cause like I just keep looking at his car cause it’s like “Wow, when can I drive a BMW convertible.” And everytime he goes out of the building where I skate, he’d see me and he’d like make the PEACE SIGN and say: “Stay cool bro.” Well, I don’t watch to much television and there’s too many celebrities in Hollywood so I would not know if he’s probably a celebrity. But one time, I was at this expensive grocer and I saw Teri Hatcher in his car and he went to the grocer to buy something. Then he gave me the peace sign again and I said hi and then I was just staring at TERI HATCHER in his BMW. Anyhow, that was awsome knowing him and then seeing Teri Hatcher, but I going back, sometimes, I go drive around Hollywood and it’s such a wonder driving there and seeing some place and think like: God, if I have a movie, I’d think about this place as a set of a good scene in my movie. Like the Vineyard in my video or in my HOUSE, they’re pretty much a good setting for a movie but the only thing is that I don’t have a film crew and a cast so I was just using them for my own videos and it’s still cool. I am still thinking about a good screenplay for it though but you know how stories are sometimes, they’re as difficult to catch as a fish in the water. So I made a scene anyhow and I got a dialogue in this video and it was funny. I did not make a good acting on it but there’s the part where I kicked the door and then my feet smashed into the door. The dog entrance is like a METAPHOR you know of my feet smashing through the door. sometimes, on short films like these, you don’t really have to do it the realistic way and sometimes you just have to make the point. And I hope you like this video I made and if I have time and energy or not feeling lazy, I had a lot of great ideas for a short film and I’d probably be filming a little anytime soon but it was just raining lately that I didn’t even have time to skate my new skateboard at all.
