SXSW 2009: Blitzen Trapper →
The quintet headlined NPR Music’s day party from The Parish in Austin, Tex., on March 19.
Last year’s Furr found its way to many year-end best-of lists, including NPR’s, and with good reason: It refines the rough edges of Wild Mountain Nation without losing Blitzen Trapper’s natural forward motion. Ramshackle rhythms and summery guitar solos permeate Furr, which combines a...

Nick's Big Show →
This looks great, some of my favorite actors working + great writing to boot!
Nick’s Big Show follows “Nick Thune” as he quits stand up comedy to write/direct/star in a dramatic one man show.
This web series will push the limits of the world wide web. How? Watch, and then I’ll tell you. I wanna see if we get the same answer.

“… [Fox] had a really young, energetic development staff that seemed fairly devoted, especially in comedy, to putting on interesting, funny, good stuff. And it would get up to a certain point on the corporate structure, then it would hit a wall of not-understanding. Like the people who were right next to the big piles of money would sort of say, “Where’s the car crashes and the big...

It was a Six Million Dollar Man/Knight Rider inspired series about an astronaut played by Jack Black who flew too close to the sun on a mission, so when it was daylight he was the smartest man in the world, and when the sun set he was normal again. Owen Wilson was the voice of his...
