Hey I’m Spencer. I’m 19 years old and I’m a video director/producer, a music producer, a song writer, and a student at the University of Cincinnati’s College-Conservatory of Music. This blog is about my everyday life, and the stuff I create and/or enjoy. The photography is by me unless otherwise noted. (Clicking a picture will enlarge it.

Imagine if the two schools were a leisurely jog apart and students not only shared the same malls but fought for the same jobs after graduation. “There are people who won’t hire you if you went to the wrong school,” says Xavier alum and Indiana Pacers forward David West. “It runs deep. You’ve got folks in their 70s and 80s, you’ve got priests and nuns, and the only foul thing they’ll say all year is something about Cincinnati.

Well, after learning that it was selected to show at the Florida Film Festival and the Vail Film Festival, we got some even bigger news. I absolutely hate keeping good news to myself, so thankfully, I can now share it.</p> <p>‘Mouthful’ has been selected to show at SXSW, <a href="http://www.indiewire.com/article/50_films_and_a_top_ten_for_indiewires_new_festival_directory">which is a pretty big deal if you didn’t know</a>. So obviously Bobby and a few of the other main crew members are gonna make the trip out to Austin, Texas for the festival. Here’s the deal: That’s expensive.</p> <p>If you have any money at all, and would like to put that towards supporting young artists from Cleveland, go <a href="http://www.indiegogo.com/mouthful">HERE</a>, and you can even get some cool little incentives in return. Any contribution would mean a lot to these guys.</p>http://blog.stuckbeats.com/post/17312139587http://blog.stuckbeats.com/post/17312139587Thu, 09 Feb 2012 03:33:28 -0500<iframe width="400" height="299" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/WfBlUQguvyw?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p><strong>SOUR ‘日々の音色 (Hibi no neiro)’ (by <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfBlUQguvyw">masakaaa</a>)</strong></p> <p>My brain hurts from thinking about the preparation that went into this.
