Sticking to the constraints of the ubiquitous micro-blogging platform, Songs to Wear Pants to (Andrew Huang) has written a song where the lyrics are comprised of 140 characters. As you can imagine, it’s not a terribly long “song”, and more a humorous exercise of creativity in melody, though some of you may find yourself amused. And I think that’s the end goal anyway. DL the song, here.

Andrew Huang Releases a ‘Retrospective’ Album
Partially as a means of closure Andrew Huang has released the Retrospective album today. It’s a collection of music from the past decade comprised of a mixture of unheard material and remastered archives. Last year, Andrew Huang decided to consolidate all of his musical aliases under his true name; this is the result of the tying up of loose ends. It’s one gigantic package of nearly 60 tracks that spread a wide gamut of sounds and genres – just as one would expect form Huang.
Comprising 59 songs and sketches from a decade-long period of production and experimentation, Retrospective is approximately half never-before-heard material, as well as being the final re-release nod to my former work under other aliases.
Prolific to a fault and blurring genre boundaries as usual, the previously unreleased pieces are culled from nine albums-in-progress which I’ve scrapped for lack of time. (See this blog post:andrewismusic.tumblr.com/post/19952829406/priorities )
I hope you’ll fall in love with the songs that are actually songs, and enjoy peaking into the bizarre parts of my brain that are represented in the other material on here.

Songs To Wear Pants To Participates in Mock Battle with SoundlyAwake
Calling this an actual battle is a bit of misnomer as this was more of a mutual willingness to clown on each other in the name of video entertainment, but Songs To Wear Pants To & SoundlyAwake decided to square off in a lyrical competition as Youtube contemporaries. They both use the same beat and put together quick videos in an interesting bit of cross-promotion. You can catch both entries below.
Andrew Huang Releases the Songs to Wear Pants To Compilation Album
To commemorate 8 zany years as Songs to Wear Pants to, Andrew Huang has released a “best-of” compilation album in conjunction with DFTBA records. And when we say compilation, we mean a super-sized collection of tracks from over the years, some never commercially available. There are 66 tracks in all along with some bonus material, all for the price of 12 dollars. That works out to be about 18-19 cents a track. That’s Costco value, right there.

Andrew Huang Gives You “New Love”
“New Love” is the latest song Andrew Huang is pushing from his Schism release that dropped last November. The artist of many hats continues to bend genres and experiment with his music, perpetuating his undefinable brand. The video is cleanly edited though not as visually arresting as some of his previous work. Lyrics can be found after the video.
New Video From Andrew Huang – “Love #2″
Although it can be hard to keep up with the guy, one of the upsides to Andrew Huang‘s constant releasing of music is that the artist has a vast catalog to promote whenever he has the urge to put together a video. Such is the case with the visuals for “Love #2″, a cut from his 2010 effort, Autumn. Huang has a flair for taking what would be otherwise ordinary footage, but using it in a visually interesting and creative way – something I wouldn’t mind seeing more of from his contemporaries.
