A few weeks ago, we shot some commercials. We didn’t really know what we were doing, but thought it’d be fun. Here’s the first two (there’s five altogether). Enjoy!
Intern Inc. Commercial #1: Should we save some for Mike?
Intern Inc. Commercial #2: Ross is the new Mike.
Special thanks Andrew, Zach, Ross, Derek and everyone else who lent a helping hand.
News Channel 9 dropped by our office today to talk about InternInc.com and the launch next week. Get a sneak peak of the office, my skills with a soccer ball, Ross typing, etc. Working on InternInc.com is what we really spend our time on, so check it out.
Anyway, enjoy! And check out the story from Channel 9 here.
Zombies are so hot right now. I don’t really follow Hollywood or pop culture trends like some of our other bloggers. But I’ve got a hunch that vampires, like hobbits are about to go the way of the wizard soon, and zombies are on the way in big time. So if you find yourself at the movies, it might behoove you to check out Zombieland and add a little credibility to your trend-spotting resume. It looks chock-full of cartoonish violence and egregious gore. Just right to get you in the mood for Halloween.
Grab your favorite sawn-off and see you at the theater, look for our review next week.
M. Ward = Genius.
If you’re not going to Monolith Festival at Red Rocks this weekend, you should be. Tickets are still only $110 for a 2-day pass.
If you can’t go, watch this space — we’ll be blogging the festival all weekend long with pics, vids and more.
If you are going, here’s a rundown of who we’re looking forward to seeing…
Saturday:
Of course, the two acts I’m most excited to see Saturday — The Walkmen and M. Ward — are crunched together at 5:30 and 6:15.
M. Ward is songwriting genius. He has such a classic sound with a modern twist and if Letterman appearances are anything to go by, dude-man is t-riff live.
The Walkmen look good live so I’m super-excited to hear Hamilton Leithauser wail his best Bob Dylan-shout-o and Matt Barrick’s stupid-crazy-awesome drumming echoing across the mountains.
Cotton Jones.
It seems like everybody’s looking for ways to look or sound vintage these days with all the crazy hyper-perfection available with modern technology everywhere. With Cotton Jones, this is not a contrived gimmick. They’re wonderfully authentic and down-to-earth. Catch them at the WOXY.COM stage at 7 p.m.
If Cotton Jones isn’t your thing, head up top, grab a drink and check out Denver-based comedian Chuck Roy with MF Doom at 7 p.m. on the Southern Comfort Stage. Chuck is absolutely hilarious if you haven’t already seen him on Last Comic Standing, Will & Grace or in town at Comedy Works. Oh yeah, and MF Doom is awesome too.
I intend to spend the rest of the evening stalking Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs cos she’s purty.
The Twilight Sad: Scottish rockers.
Sunday:
I’ll be parked in front of the WOXY.COM stage for most of the afternoon. I already talked about catching the mysterious dream-dance-disco-pop of Neon Indian at 3 p.m.
Cincinnati-based Bad Veins play at 4:20 p.m. Their songs are awesome pop anthems and I’ve seen them live while going to school near Cincinnati, definitely original and creative instrumentation. If you haven’t heard of them, trust me — they’re worth a look.
A friend shot me some tunes from The Twilight Sad a few months ago. I neglected to listen but on a whim threw it on a few nights ago when I found out they were going to be at Monolith. I am *SO* glad I did. These Scottish rockers are a throwback to Joy Division, The Smiths, My Bloody Valentine — the dark, brooding glory bands of British 80′s. Their sound is huge, noisy, but melodic and I’m definitely excited to sneak a glance at some pedal boards before getting my face melted off.
When you have to choose between Passion Pit, The Twilight Sad and French Horn Rebellion, you know you’re at a good festival. See you there. If not, see you here afterward for reviews. Woo!
Random: The 90′s captured in one pic.
Mr. Smith, you sir, have captured the 90's. Thank you.
