We're on the scene in Vegas. My Damn Channel Founder/CEO, Rob Barnett, was selected as one of the "25 Executives to Watch in Digital Entertainment" by Digital Media Wire.
Digital Media Wire is a full scale media company that owns and produces 8 major conferences, publishes daily newsletters and directories, and operates the popular www.dmwmedia.com news and community portal.
Rob and his fellow honorees dissected all things digital at today's all-afternoon conference in the city of sin.
Rob was also a guest speaker on a Kodak panel at CES moderated by Kodak Chief Marketing Officer, Jeff Hayzlett. You can find the 20-minute video called "I Want My Web TV" (part 1) from 1p today here.
Part 2 features our wonderful wizard, star and guiding light from "Easy to Assemble," Illeana Douglas. You can also catch her TubeFilter interview from CES here.
As soon as all the advils and bloody marys take effect, we're getting ready to launch all new episodes of EASY TO ASSEMBLE on Wednesday, January 20 on My Damn Channel. And what about SPARHUSEN??? More shall be revealed 1.20.10.
Who says The Simpsons don't age??
This Sunday night, "The Simpsons" turn 20 yrs old and the Internet is going viral with excitement (I mean, hey, they're almost drinking age!).
For those who don't know (welcome to Earth!) - our very own Harry Shearer performs a huge range of the voices for the characters on "The Simpsons", including (but not limited to):
- Mr. Burns
- Waylon Smithers
- Ned Flanders
- Principal Skinner
- Otto
- Reverend Lovejoy
- Dr Hibbert
- Kent Brockman
- Jasper
- Lenny
- Eddie (the cop)
- Rainier Wolfcastle (McBain)
- Scratchy
- Kang
- Mr. Bouvier (Marge's father)
- Dr. Marvin Monroe
- Herman
- Mr. Largo
- Marty (from KBBL)
- Dr Loren J. Pryor
- Jebediah Springfield
- Judge Snyder
- Sanjay (Apu's brother)
Wow!
Harry was featured in an interview with the Associated Press, and from there - it's spreading like a Winter Cold across the globe!
Here's a sneak peek:
Shearer, who began his career as a child actor... keeps a multiplicity of projects
under way. He hosts his own signature channel on the "My
Damn Channel" comedy Web site.
"Matt [Groening] has a satirical, anti-authority streak," says Shearer. "From the
beginning, 'The Simpsons' was taking the side of the family against all
the authority figures and institutions that buffeted them in the modern
world. Certainly, that resonated for me." |
To celebrate - we're asking all of our readers/fans to dress up as Ned and attend church this Sunday (JUST KIDDING). In all seriousness, check out some of the awesome articles going around on the web with Harry's exclusive interview and don't make plans this Sunday evening. This week's episode ("Once Upon a Time in Springfield") will be one you won't want to miss!
(It doesn't hurt that they're mentioning My Damn Channel, either... whoo-hoo!!)

We're getting into the Damned Christmas Spirit with the Dark Lord of Hell while getting our groove on to some Hellacious tunes... Mmmm hmm...
Head on over with us to Harry Shearer's Channel for a dose of Devilish Holiday Cheer starring Judith Owen's jazztastic vocals (so haunting you'd think she was blessed by the Devil himself) and the GREAT Harry Shearer's soft, fiery rhythm on the upright bass.
Take off your sweater and boots, the heat is finally on this Christmas at My Damn Channel!

Merry Gracemas, y'all!
Get ready for a Loving & Emotional Holiday Message from the host of My Damn Channel herself!
I tell ya, if she had any more Holiday Cheer, we'd bring Santa back from the dead!! Uh.. Wait...
Big love to Coolio, the author!
Our "Cookin' with Coolio" web series spawned a cook book that promises to give you the skills that lead to successful seduction at least 70 percent of the time:
http://www.boston.com/lifestyle/food/dishing/2009/11/coolio_intervie.html
It's been said he was born on Mars...
That he has walked with dinosaurs in a prior life...
That he has heard voices telling him that he will be singing "96 Tears" in the year 10,000...
Geez. Don't wanna wait till then? Neither did we. Check out
Question Mark perform his pioneering garage rock anthem
"96 Tears" at the 2009 Detroit All Star Revue with our very own
Don Was on bass.
There's no
question about it. Question Mark can rock.
