The Webby Awards Recap

The Webbys were an absolute blast! It was a dream come true for me, performing for a room full of people who have created most of my favorite places to go on the web: YouTube, Failblog, The Onion, Next New Networks, New York Times, Huffington Post, and of course a little company called Twitter. To add to the excitement, Martha Stewart, Trent Reznor, Jimmy Fallon, Sarah Silverman, Cameron Diaz, Charlie Rose, and Lisa Kudrow were also in the house.

I'd really like to thank everyone at the Webby Awards for making this happen, it was an amazing experience and the show just keeps getting better.

I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've been interviewed on the red carpet where the host actually knew who I was without the help of a publicist. Thank goodness for the lovely Shira Lazar, best red carpet host ever.

 

Seth McFarlane wasn't able to make it so I got to step in and present his award the only way I know how:

 

And here's my performance, thank you Webby Awards!

 

New Watches!!!

Doug Cohen (Flüd Watches) just sent me what could possibly be the sickest time pieces on the face of the earth. Leave it to the man behind A Great Day in Turntablism to make a turntable watch classy enough to be worn with a suit! Even the cases they come with are dope (peep the pillow that "The Cartridge" rests on). Check out these bad boys and more at the official Flüd website. Thanks Doug!

San Frandisco!

I love San Francisco. I love film. What better way to combine the two than with a party at Mezzanine with the San Francisco Film Society? Friday was an absolute blast, and I got to unleash over an hour of all new material to a packed house! I also got to hang with Party Ben, whose video mashups are just brilliant (and in case you couldn't tell, I'm a huge a/v snob). SFFS also brought out Peanut Butter Wolf who dropped music videos for songs that I didn't even know had music videos. I'm willing to bet he's got the largest private collection of music vids. All in all, it was fantastic. The bay area audience was amazing as usual, such a great show to come home to!

Black Friday Special

So like most of you living in the U.S., I've been bombarded with ads for "black friday" sales ranging from 50-70% off in some stores. I'm not sure how our economic situation is going to effect this year's biggest shopping day, but I've decided to have a little sale of my own. I'll be GIVING away 4 songs from my latest album "Spectacle", along with the music video for "Everytime". The package is called "Spectacle - The Black Friday Special" and you can download it here

Enjoy!

My YouTube Live Experience

A view from my post at YouTube Live. The house was packed and there were over 650,000 people streaming the show online, breaking the record previously held by the 2008 Olympic Games.

And of course, I shot video throughout the day with my trusty Flip. It was a pretty long day, but when you've got a show like this, energy seems to hit you out of nowhere!
