Andy Kaufman sings 'Rosemarie'


In this clip Andy Kaufman sings Slim Whitman's 'Rosemarie.' He sings it beautifully, with utter conviction. And, oh yeah, he's dressed like an Indian fakir.

In Our Midst

For a long time now I have wanted to play around with archival footage from the Internet Archive, but couldn't find ideal source material. As I was poking around today, I stumbled across a slightly strange clip that uses kids in clown make-up to convey messages about self-esteem and playground responsibility. That was it. I sliced it up and set it to Marc Ribot's "Alita Suite II".

The Item that Adds to Your Personal Comfort

This is a quick mix of two advertisements I found on the Internet Archive. It is the begining of a larger project, but I just wanted to play around with archive footage and its corresponding sound to see what would result.
