Herrang us on Facebook and Twitter.

We're shutting up and listening now.



Best of Spärhusen



In the spirit of Tupac and Elvis - the 70's rock group Spärhusen is releasing an album many years after their presumed and mysterious death. 

The 12-track, limited edition album, Best of Spärhusen is now available on iTunes and includes their classic hit Apples and Fish

After Olf Nystrom and Gert Forseberg were feared dead following their tragic plane crash in 1974, the world grieved along with the band's one surviving member, Beirget Kattson. A reincarnation of the "almost great band of Sweden" is rising like....what is the name of that bird?

My Damn Channel has exclusive never-before-seen footage of Spärhusen from 1972 with their manager Bjorn Epstein, and the fiercest producer in all of Sweden at the time, Würst Fierren, quite famous for his "whale of sound."

Visit the iTunes Store today to get this existential masterpiece.


Help for Haiti

Our hearts are with all of the victims in Haiti.

Many lives have been lost, and many more are in desperate need of help - babies and small children have lost their parents, and many orphans are without shelter.  By visiting Haiti-Relief.com, you can donate as little as $5 to help rebuild those orphanages.

In the mean time, the Save the Children foundation has been setting up Child Friendly Spaces (shelters and camps) to give the children a place to play and sleep until other remedies surface.

By texting the word "SAVE" to 20222, a $10 donation to Save the Children will be added to your phone bill.

Also by texting the word "HAITI" to 90999, a $10 donation to the Red Cross will be added to your phone bill.

Other Links for Helping with Haiti Relief:

1. Real Hope for Haiti

2. Heartline Ministries

3. Love-A-Child

4. Partners in Health

5. Children of the Promise Orphanage

Also, George Clooney (among other film stars who have yet to be named) is teaming up with MTV for a telethon event to raise money for the victims.

The event is set to air this Friday, January 22 on all MTV networks (this includes VH1, Comedy Central, and CMT) along with ABC, HBO, NBC, and CNN.



"EASY TO ASSEMBLE" MINI-SERIES PREMIERES




Tag - you're ALL it. Everyone listed above is Flying High. Advertising Age just called Easy To Assemble "the most-watched sponsored web series." 

Illeana Douglas had a vision about how to make the best possible films directly for the web - for fans - for actors - and for one very visionary sponsor: IKEA.

There's proof that Illeana was right. Everyone keeps coming back for more.

Today marks the premiere of the Easy To Assemble mini-series event: "Flying Solo."


MY DAMN CHANNEL DOES CES



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.


The Simpsons - 450th Episode!

Posted in Harry Shearer, My Damn Channel with tags Simpsons, 450th Episode, Associated Press, Harry Shearer, My Damn Channel, Ned Flanders on 1/6/2010 7:55:55 AM by KT Pierce ~ Voodoo Priestess



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!!)
