about the project...
hi, i'm rafter (www.myspace.com/rafterroberts & http://asthmatickitty.com/musicians.php?artistID=7), and these songs are from a project i'm doing with my sweet and rad girlfriend lizeth - we both were feeling unproductive, and somehow ended up daring ourselves to finish 1 art project a day. we take turns giving the day a theme, and we both do something for it. for her, that's photos (www.lizethsantos.com) and for me it's songs. so i've been writing and recording a song a day... here's one of them, and her corresponding photo...
Here's another one and another one and another one and another one and another one and one more from Rafter and Lizbeth.

Rafter (Bunky)'s Asthmatic Kitty labelmate My Brightest Diamond is playing her show with Tim Fite at the Gramercy Theatre on Saturday (Nov 17). I have two pairs of tickets to give away. Do you want one of those pairs? E-mail BVCONTESTS@HOTMAIL.COM (subject: diamond) with the name of the Christmas song you wrote for Sufjan (or just tell me the last show you saw) (or recommend a song I should listen to). Include your first and last name. Two winners will be picked at random and notified ASAP.

Castanets are in this family too. Check out that beard.

and last, but not least (ok, maybe least)....

wow you lame-o's!
not that anyone will read this, but i've got to say, you fucker, that i'm not rich and bored. i'm fucking exhausted and excited. i get up after 6 hours of sleep to spend 8 hours every day with my 2 year old son, after which i drop him off to his mom and go to work. i work just enough to pay the bills and child support, and then i try to do some music (these song-a-days have to get done in 2-3 hours cuz i dont' have more time than that), then go home to my girlfriend and enjoy some time together. rinse and repeat. bored and rich? fuck you! i'm excited, not bored. i'm not poor, but i'm no richie w/a cleaning lady. i spend my time parenting, working at the company that i founded (by working 16 hour days for YEARS), making music, and loving the love of my life. if you want to talk trash go ahead, maybe also you can eat some poop out of my sons dirty diapers. and yeah, anyone's entitled to their opinion, but personally, i love lizeth's photography, and i don't see the good in a comment like this last one. hate on, haters. or don't. you live in the world you make. rafter over and out, working on a new song-a-day and trying to keep it positive.
