Creatures of Times Square, they’re just like us. They count their cash…
they check the mirror…
they experience moments of sadness…
they comfort one another…
they adjust themselves…
they facetime with friends…
and then they head home…

Thanks to Jacob Shwirtz and ROI for having me last week. I enjoyed sharing the mission of MTV Scratch with such a progressive group. Great questions, and nobody made fun of my new sweater vest.

And what does Carmelo Anthony of the New York Knicks have to do with this? Nothing, but welcome to NYC, Melo.

The best thing about rehearsing for this year’s Woodie Awards:
Soundcheck for The Dead Weather. Jack White = Pure Genius. (Even though he wouldn’t let me film it.)
The second best thing about rehearsing for this year’s show:
The bike messengers Matt & Kim brought.
Eight messengers followed Matt & Kim on bicycles from Brooklyn to the Roseland Ballroom. The plan was for Diplo to spin a wicked set, then Matt & Kim and the bike messengers would arrive at Roseland, ditch their bikes, blast onto the stage, and the messengers would undress to become a naked chorus.
We are perfectionists, of course, so we just had to rehearse this over and over and over to make sure they were, you know, undressing at the right time and everything….
After their actual performance at the Woodies, Kim (Stolz) caught up with Matt & Kim. Matt got Kim to admit she likes getting naked more than she lets on. Then they talk about the size of Kim’s chest…
Set your tivo — Woodies hit MTV this Friday night, December 4th, at 10pm.
Finally I can post this. Been waiting all day so other blogs could trump me. We just announced the nominees for the 6th annual mtvU Woodie Awards, as chosen by college students nationwide. It’s the best college music of the yea, and it’s an incredible (and incredibly diverse) list of nominees this year.
Over the next few weeks, millions will vote to decide who goes home with a chunk of wood on November 18th at Roseland Ballroom in NYC.
Here’s how our good friend Asher Roth kicked off the sick party last year…
Past performers include Beck, TV On The Radio, Gym Class Heroes, Lykke Li, Santigold, Death Cab For Cutie, Imogen Heap, Matisyahu, Saul WIlliams, Q-Tip, The Academy Is, Asher Roth, Cool Kids, Rilo Kiley and more. I’ll let you know who’s performing this year…soon.
