ANNOUNCING: The Maxey Fish and Sea Quarter Moon Consecution
Friday, June 18th, 2010
Posted by Maxey Fish and Sea
This just in! One Maxey Fish and Sea Reel will be released with every quarter moon.
In celebration of this newborn tradition and tonight’s waxing first quarter, Maxey Fish and Sea presents a premiere of Tin Santos and Julia McAlee’s “Monkey Paws” as performed at the most recent Synchronicity LA Salon.
This work in progress is brought to you by two spirited souls of Westmoreland Blvd. The performance is not without its bumps and bruises, but the song is too terrific not to give a glimpse. And the love that resonates through the Salon and its attendees is good and evident.

Julia Sings “Hallelujah” – Cochabamba, Bolivia
Saturday, June 5th, 2010
Posted by Maxey Fish and Sea
The Maxey Fish and Sea Reel of the Week
Sprawling across Cochabamba’s urban center is La Cancha market. It is well known for being one of the largest, most overwhelming markets in South America. Julia strapped on her guitar and took a casual stroll through the meat aisle, past the puppies, around the underwear, brushing shoulders with the carrot juicer, and ending amongst the veggies.
Julia McAlee is a singer-songwriter living here at Synchronicity LA. You can visit her website here: http://juliamcalee.com/
Her friend Ryan also lives here and made this video. You can see more at http://ryanisyourfriend.com/

The Salon Lives On!
Monday, May 24th, 2010
Posted by Maxey Fish and Sea
The Synchronicity LA Salon is a fortnightly even held on the second Wednesday and last Sunday of the month in our art studio. It features musicians, poets, artists and performances of all types. Our goal is to provide a safe space for all types of creative expression. It can be an open discussion for works in progress or a venue to show or perform whatever you fancy. This video might give you an overall feel for it, and here are some of the latest performances.
Jerry the Bear
Jerry is a long time friend of Synchronicity LA. I remember the first week I moved into the house, we had a Jerry the Bear concert in our living room. I was moved, and reaffirmed that moving to Synchronicity would prove to be an experience shared with amazing souls. Jerry lives in Chicago, but occasionally finds his soulful self around our parts.
Visit his Myspace page at: http://www.myspace.com/jerrythebearmusic
Esteban Salcido
Esteban is our friend. He makes music and poetry, other things and has a kind spirit. Here he is covering a timeless celebratory tune. I love his music style so much and hope to capture one of his original songs and share it with everyone that can’t make it to the Salons.
Wesley Francis
Wes is our across the street neighbor and regular at the Salon. I’m pleased to present this video of him using his words like he does so well.

Hey! It’s me, maxey fish and sea. You may know by now that I work for TOMS Shoes. And you may know that for every pair you purchase, we give a pair of new shoes to a child in need. One fo One, nice and simple. So buy a pair, ok?
Furthermore, my job is to make their videos. This week I made a video of the last shoe drop that some of my coworkers went on. That’s when we give the shoes to the children. They took footage with this little toy camera called a Harinazumi, not important. What is important is that I’m excited about this video for 2 reasons. First, it features the music of our friend Robert C.E. Delong, who just came out with an amazing album a few weeks ago.
Secondly, I’m excited about this video because it is a glimpse into my near future. In late April I’ll be going down to Argentina for a shoe drop just like this one. Lookin’ forward to it. AND I get to make a one week pit stop in Bolivia to see a bunch of my old basketball teammates and friends of El Caracol! The future is bright.
