June 16 is almost here! This Tuesday, the first of four brand new originals songs
will be released digitally (available at iTunes and… you know, all the usual
places). The name of the song is
“Craigslist.”
There will be a music video for “Craigslist” as well, also
released on Tuesday. It was shot
by my friend Liam Lynch (who directed “Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny” and
“Sarah Silverman: Jesus is Magic” and is also responsible for those wonderful
Lynchland podcasts). It’s a
live-action video – my first since “White & Nerdy.” But lower your expectations – “White
& Nerdy” had a huge budget, and “Craigslist” had a miniscule one. We shot it in Liam’s garage. I’m not even kidding. As it turns out, though, the “low
budget” vibe happens to dovetail well with the concept of the video, so don’t
worry, it all works out fine.
If you just can’t wait till the 16
th to see this
thing, AOL will be doing a world premiere of the “Craigslist” video
tomorrow. (Unless they change
their minds at the last minute and
pull the plug on it
like they did with “White & Nerdy.”)
So check with AOL for all the details on the sneak peek!
BTW, also on Tuesday the 16
th I’ll be doing a
live online chat via Twitter and Ustream.
I’ll be answering your questions from 5PM to 6PM Pacific time (8PM to
9PM Eastern). Details to come… but
in the meantime, make sure you’re
following me!
Oh, and in case you haven’t seen it yet, here’s the promo
clip for
AlsBrain.com.
Hope you like the new song & video!
