Wicked Awesome Cows
The good guys over at WICKED AWESOME FILMS have just posted a viral video for Glen Wexler's new book THE SECRET LIFE OF COWS.
Though the short film (read: really funny mock ad for Glen's book) features spontaneously combusting bovine, we assure you no cows were harmed in the making of THIS VIDEO
Cows, Hootenanny and OSLO, Oh My!
The question eliciting the shortest response this week would be "What ISN'T happening right now?" So much brewing...
GLEN WEXLER is currently featured on APPLE.COM's Start Page highlighting his new book The SECRET LIFE OF COWS. 
We hand delivered a 6' print of an image from the book, featuring a cow in a trebuchet about to be launched over a castle wall, to the Grail Theatre at the Wynn Las Vegas. The print will hang in the main hallway amidst the Monty Python artwork for the duration of Spamalot!!
MUSIC.COM, who you'll see in every peticab you get into at SxSW this week, will release their Artist-controlled music download / mobile download and customizable ringtone store Thursday (March 15). It rules, and makes it possible for the ARTISTS to get the most money for their music sales! 
MUSIC.COM has a booth at the convention center where bands will be performing and are sponsoring the High Wire Hootenanny day party Thursday at Habana Calle 6 from 12-5p.
OSLO, who just played an amazing show at The Viper Room in Los Angeles Monday, has new tracks posted to their MySpace and is down at SxSW (isn't everyone??) playing several shows this week:
Mar 15 2007 9:00P Waterloo Icehouse
Mar 16 2007 3:15P Music.com @Convention Center
Mar 17 2007 3:00P Dirty Dog Bar
Mar 17 2007 11:45P Waves (upstairs)/Texas Rock Fest
The album cover for Oslo's forthcoming release "The Rise and Fall of Love and Hate," shot by Glen Wexler is nearly complete.
Here's a fun wrap pic of a very disheveled me, Photographer Glen Wexler, "the talent" and Vu Ong from the set (shot by Carsten Steinhausen):
Reports from Austin soon...
OSLO Posts New Songs to MySpace
OSLO has posted 2 new songs off their forthcoming album "The Rise and Fall of Love and Hate," to their MySpace site!!! With the new album in the can and renowned photographer GLEN WEXLER shooting the album cover, "The Rise and Fall of Love and Hate" should garner a lot of attention lyrically, musically and visually!
Before embarking on their journey to Austin, TX for Texas RockFest and SXSW next week, Oslo will play BLAKES in Berkeley, CA on March 9 and the VIPER ROOM in Los Angeles on March 12th (10pm) as part of Indie 103's Presents.
About Those Cows
This weekend, the good fellas of WICKED AWESOME FILMS and I headed north to Phil's Livestock & Equipment in beautiful Piru, California to interview some cows about GLEN WEXLER's new book "The Secret Life of Cows." Now, I studied veterinary medicine and animal sciences in what feels like a lifetime ago. Working on this book project has tapped a part of my memory I've not needed to recall in ages (save for that one time on a film set when an actor's horse was deathly ill and the producers needed someone who could talk the [farm] talk just enough to set his mind at ease so they could get on with the shoot). 
Anyway, we had a fantastic time "on set" at the ranch. I got the chance to wrangle some cattle (read: bribe them with feed and hay) to help keep them out of sight while the guys were interviewing Georgia (who we cast for the role of "Nancy" in our little film).
I can't wait to see how the video turns out!
As for the book--
"THE SECRET LIFE OF COWS." will be released through Andrews McMeel Universal and will be available online and in bookstores everywhere on March 7th. More on this soon...
