Paint your Headphones

By: Ant McGinley
  • Summary

  • Paint Your Headphones was an ambitious project to bring together up and coming actors, comedians, musicians and writers in a high fidelity format on what was very much a lofi platform. Pre facebook, pre-streaming services, the team approached comedians and bands directly to collaborate on a unique project that was unlike anything else available. Only 4 were made and released for a brief period in 2005, then hosted on myspace for many years until the account fell dormant, these shows have been mostly forgotten until now. They are presented in their original format here for the first time. Each episode averaged 25 contributors, some who's names have been lost. Were you one of them?
