Songwriter Andy Razaf was involved in a lot of hit songs in early American pop music. We're talking 1920s-1940s. Andy was a collaborator with Fats Waller, co-writing, and churning out gems like "Honeysuckle Rose" and "This Joint Is Jumpin". This is our take on Yes Sir!

Learn To Say F**k You
In 1965, Sol LeWitt wrote fellow sculptor Eva Hesse a four-page letter of encouragement, urging her to stop doubting herself and to simply continue making her work. Despite the fact that some would consider their friendship unlikely, the two sculptors were close friends and wrote to each other frequently about their ideas, work, and personal lives from 1960 until Hesse's death ten years later. Often quoted, LeWitt's letter has become a source of inspiration and a vote of confidence for many artists the world over.
Producer Aaron Rose (Beautiful Losers, Become a Microscope) worked with punk rock band Rancid to remake LeWitt's words into a bold and boisterous song. With wild and wavy LeWitt-inspired animation, this video energetically embodies the message of its writer.
