Mankit CD -
Intro
Mankit CD was our largest project during high
school. Production spanned half a year during
our junior year (procrastinating at the end, during
finals and AP exams), costs were high, and we
lost money for every CD we distributed. Inspired
by a picture of Mankit copying the sullen look
of CD covers with heartbroken-looking singers
during a WV club outing, benbry made a parody
CD cover with it. After a night of discussing
designs, Nr9 printed one the next day, and, somehow
it just all went on. 'God Records' is the Kowz
CD production team (subteam).
Objective: memory, have fun, learn, record
Mankit's holy voice, and as always, swa fei.
Means of production: software editing,
digital cameras, Mankit mankit mankit, professional
printshop (money money money), manufactured resources
(CD cases straight from factory), MiniDisc recorder,
God Records.
Some people missed the point of the CD and complained
about its quality. Of course it sucked, not like
we didn't know. The whole damn point wasn't to
make a pro-sounding CD. First, it looked pretty
damn good; second, nobody I know would spend the
effort just for fun (except for us); and third,
it's Mankit, and mankit is holy. By the way, one
day PJNB was found on a Napster user in California.
It was a relative of some friend. But still, pretty
funny.
