<p><span><span>This  take on such  a gorgeous song from Mina's 2008 record, A  Fondness for Hometown  Scars, was filmed in less than a day.</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>Filmed in  glorious 1080p HD  quality, Dan took a simple, "sober" approach. These  two lifelong  friends used this filming as a creative experiment, if you  will, to  jump-start Dan in his future filming/directing endeavors.</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>Without  further ado, we hope the next four minutes and thirty-two  seconds puts  you in a peaceful place, as you watch a new video for  Silver Candy.</span></span></p>

<p>In this case, I'm going to lend the pen to the photographer.</p>
<p>If you haven't heard, renowned rock (and sometimes model) photographer, Jeremy Saffer, had one Hell of a <a href="http://www.keithminacaputo.com/news/2011/8/23/keith-minas-special-photo-shoot.html">photo shoot</a> with Mina.&nbsp; And that's putting it mildly.&nbsp; An understatement, if you will.&nbsp; The two are more in sync with each other's worlds than one would know outright. It just goes to show when people use the phrase, "it's a small world," they aren't referring to Walt Disney.</p>
<p>Jeremy wrote a phenomenal essay about the entire project, and we highly encourage you to take the time to read it and allow it to immerse itself thoroughly in your brain.&nbsp; It's such a powerful piece.&nbsp; I'm still reelng through it now.&nbsp; You can also see some examples of the shoot Jeremy and Mina had, and in the end, purchase seriously gorgeous autographed prints.&nbsp; Jeremy has only a limited run of 14 per photo, so you might want to pick one up asap, because when they're gone, they are gone!</p>

<p>Mina Caputo, formerly known as Keith Caputo, has had a an extensive  career within the music industry. While you all know him from his work  with legendary New York Metallers LIFE OF AGONY, Caputo is constantly  pushing the limits of his successful life as an artist. As we all know,  LIFE OF AGONY is not an active band at the moment, and the chances of  the band returning to the musical spectrum are very unlikely. But this  does not mean that Caputo is done creating awesome music. After seeing  Caputo's solo set at Tamanny Hall in New York City, at the one year  anniversary of "Hate The Hate", there is no doubt in our minds that  there will be plenty more to come from one of the best singer/song  writers of our generation.<br /><br />For those of you who missed the event,  you missed a historical night in which all sorts of people came  together for a VERY positive cause: stand against hate crimes, bullying  and suicide. Additionally, Caputo performed for the first time ever as  Mina Caputo! This was obviously the highlight of the night, not only  from a humanitarian and musical stand point, but it was also the most  authentic way for "Hate The Hate" to spread the word about human  equality.<br /><br />As most of you know, last year, Caputo announced that  he was a trans-gender person. After hearing this shocking news, the  Heavy Music world immediately went awol and a few close minded LIFE OF  AGONY fans and some members of the media, bashed Caputo's decision to  "come out'. At that time we immediately asked the public to respect  Caputo's decision, since we truly believe that he sent a very strong  message to a genre of music that carries way too many stereotypes.<br /><br />Before  Mina Caputo took center stage for the first time in months, we were  able to chat with Caputo about the importance of human equality, and of  course about the impact of LIFE OF AGONY in Caputo's life. This  interview is NOT to be missed, so check it out and spread the word!</p>]]></content></entry><entry><title>Mina and Michael Alago Reading on April 1</title><id>http://www.keithminacaputo.com/news/2012/3/19/mina-and-michael-alago-reading-on-april-1.html</id><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.keithminacaputo.com/news/2012/3/19/mina-and-michael-alago-reading-on-april-1.html"/><author><name>KC_MAIN</name></author><published>2012-03-19T21:06:43Z</published><updated>2012-03-19T21:06:43Z</updated><content type="html" xml:lang="en-US"><![CDATA[<p>Sometimes pictures are better than words&hellip;</p>
