  • Setting Up The Bar At The Woodie Awards

    Mary-Louise Parker, Amber Tamblyn, Zooey Deschanel, Leighton Meester…we had to make sure they could each drink as much as they wanted to at the Woodie Awards last week. Besides the performances, massive consumption of alcohol is a hallmark of the Woodies. So I was happy to have helped set up the bar, and my dad…

  • Building The Set For Last Night’s Woodie Awards

    Tom Lenz’s set design for this year’s Woodie Awards was more ambitious than we’d ever attempted. And it turned out to be my favorite he’s ever done for us.   The build was kinda intense. Once we are done cutting the show (it airs at 10pm December 4th on MTV, MTV2, mtvU and Palladia, we’ll really…

  • Just Left Matt & Kim Woodie Awards Rehearsal

    Tough to figure out lighting and what happens visually in the song’s bridge and climax, but lighting designer Chris Lande, Set Designer Tom Lenz, and the rest of the Woodies production team just nailed a really powerful way to kick off the show, which is at Roseland Ballroom in about 20 hours. We are putting…

  • Winners Of The Woodie Awards Design Contest

  • Matt & Kim Performance Will Kick Ass Next Wednesday

    When we saw Matt & Kim open for Friendly Fires, and then they came and shredded our office to bits, we just had to make sure we locked the Brooklyn duo to perform at the Woodies next Wednesday at Roseland Ballroom. If you’ve never seen these two play live, you gotta. We’ve been working with…

  • Just Took A Picture Of My Woodie

    Damn, I swore to never write a headline like that.  Shit. Anyway, the Woodie Awards are 8 days away (November 18th at Roseland Ballroom in NYC) and I can finally see the show in my head. We shoot it next Wednesday, then we edit to air on MTV, MTV2, mtvU and hi-def channel Palladia on…

  • The Best College Radio Station In America?

    My group just told me how many college kids have already voted for the best college radio station in America. It’s in the millions! Not sure why I am surprised, when you think about how kickass these stations are, and how nonexistent most other stations on American radio have become. Yeah, suckas — college kids fuckin keepin’ radio…

  • Ross Martin Sucks

    Turns out, Ross Martin sucks big time. Ashley pointed this out yesterday. It’s another Ross Martin, but still. Seeing a site about how much someone with your name sucks is like seeing a photo of a gravesite with your name on it:     That sucks! Here are some other Ross Martins, some of whom…
