HUMAN GIANT: 24 HOURS LIVE ON MTV!
Last week, MTV told us we could get 24 hours on MTV and MTV2 to do whatever we want. So this Friday at noon - we'll take over both channels for a full day and will host live from MTV's Times Square studio. They're literally letting us do whatever we want - we can program whatever shows we want, have guests, bands, music videos, anything! We just have to stay up for 24 hours and get a million hits on our website.
Here are a few of the guests we have coming down, (more bands and guests will be announced later in the week):
Will Arnett
Jon Benjamin
Andy Blitz
Michael Cera
Zach Galifianakis
Jon Glaser
Eugene Mirman
Morningwood
Rob Riggle
Slovin and Allen
Tapes 'n Tapes
Ted Leo
Tegan and Sara
If you want FREE tickets to be in the audience, just send an e-mail to battleofthebands@mtvstaff.com and please include the following:
-Name
-Age
-Phone number
You are not obligated to stay in the audience for the full 24 hours and can stay as long as you want from what I understand. It should be really fun.
Thanks! 12:52 AM-Permalink

Uh... Sorry...
I've been very busy, hence the light posting, but promise next week to bring some awesome news.
Until then - read an awesome interview with "Human Giant" director/overlord Jason Woliner. Link here. Its really the best, most accurate Human Giant interview out there in my opinion. Jason gave some really detailed and interesting answers.
Have you been watching "Human Giant"? The kid in the "Shutterbugs" episode from last night was indeed Bobb'e J. Thompson aka the most talented human being I've ever met. Seriously. You have no idea how excited Jason and I were when we found out we booked him.
And we had no idea how good he was going to be. The dialogue in that scene was 90% improvised by Bobb'e J. He took our script and made it look pitiful as he improvised killer line after killer line. Seriously, BJT owns us all. If you have no clue what I'm talking about, here's a link to that sketch:
 | Shutterbugs (Season Finale) After the backlash from Lil' 911 kicks in, Bill and Samir start to feel the heat from the big man. |
Also, here's an MP3 I've been listening to a lot. Those new Hot Chip songs they play at the live shows are awesome, and this one of their DJ Kicks album is pretty sick too:

Quick Update...
I'll be in DC tonight for The Onion Kickoff show... more info here!
Sorry I missed Crash Test on Monday, but I'll be there this Monday with some new Human Giant videos I believe.
Also, watch "Human Giant" tonight at 10:30/9:30c on MTV. Over the weekend, I missed the notorious "View and Spew" re-run of the show, where apparently they posted "fan comments" over the screen during the re-run. If anyone saw this, please post any viewer comments you remember in the comments thread of this post, the ones I've heard sound hilarious (credit some dude's LiveJournal). These are from episode 4:
- If I ever go back in time, I’ll have to bring my MP3 Playa!
- Aziz is always trying to help Paul! That boy is always in trouble.
- Man, he must need a job pretty bad. I would’ve left by now! Your boss is obviously crazy!
- I can’t decide if Rob is funny or creepy!
Wow. 8:30 AM-Permalink
