Will.I.Am via Hologram, The Reckoning.

I was watching MTV a few days ago when this commercial aired. Now I'm no fan of Will.i.am or the Black-Eyed Peas, but I found this promo hilarious. As you may remember, I riffed on Will.i.am's holographic appearance on CNN's election night coverage. I guess the thing about this ad that struck me as so excellent was just how blatantly Will.i.am pokes fun at himself, something too few celebrities actually do anymore.

In other news, I've recently been added to the KRUI 89.7 fm roster of DJs for the spring semester of '09. For those of you who don't know, KRUI is the student-run radio station of the University of Iowa and specializes in playing some of the best alternative music in the state. Check them out and listen in. My show will be from 4-7am on Sundays. To be known as "The After Party," I'll specialize in playing the best electro/techno/club tracks for some of you night-owls out there. I know this isn't a convenient time for most, so I'll try and offer an abbreviated form of my radio set for download (much like a podcast) quite soon. A website for my show (and likely, the podcasts) is in the works.

much respect,
