I just heard word from the kids at MTV that my new video “The Last High” will be making its Network Television World Premier into MILLIONS of homes one week from Sunday (on February 21st at Midnight) on their Logo Channel‘s weekly video countdown show “NewNowNext“! Set your Tivo! There are tons of repeat showtimes from there, but if you wanna catch it as it hits the airwaves, Sunday the 21st it is!!!

This is going to be the 5th video of mine that they have picked up since 2006. Pretty exciting. I love Logo!!! To watch me hosting “NewNowNext” at MTV Studios in NYC a year ago, CLICK HERE.

You can watch the video just below as well, but there’s something about seeing it on TV that is WAY more fun. Be sure to tune in!!!

As you probably know, I am about to release my cover of The Dandy Warhols’ song “The Last High”. We shot a video for the new single this weekend with the folks at “Bystander Productions” (who were also responsible for my “Feed Me To The Wolves” video in 2007) and it was quite the production. Director Rebecca Micciche had a very clear vision of what she wanted and executed it over the 20 hour shoot on Saturday. It was a LONG day for everybody involved, but the film turned out INCREDIBLE in the end.

Thanks so much to everybody on the cast and crew…obviously Rebecca Micciche, Jesse Cooke, Brad Reeb, Brian Mohr, Cassie Daugherty, Mike, Jess, Shola, Uwe, Jeremy, Lotti, Yosh, Hayden, Monica, Maija, Kassandra, Lyndsay, Nikki, Dani, Andrew, Nick, Lacie, Quan, Ross, Erika, and Kayla…there were bazillions of extras this time and I spent the entire day in bed with each of them, one after the other. What can I say? I get around. ha ha ha Each and every one of you was great and we got what we had planned and more for the scenes. I’m REALLY looking forward to seeing the finished product and then sharing it with all of you! It’s gonna be SO cool when it’s done in post-production.

“The Last High” audio will be coming at your ears in the next few weeks, followed by the video in December at some point, so stay tuned! I’ll announce specifics and post more stills as we get closer to release time. Thanks again to those of you who showed up, whether it was to work the set or roll around in bed with me. You were ALL incredible.

I’ve been working with Y-Tron on a new record for next year and one of the tracks is a cover of The Dandy Warhols’ song “The Last High”. We’ve decided to go ahead and release it WAY in advance of the Y-Tron/LL EP and will be laying it on your ears at some point in the near future, so stay tuned! Y-Tron did the music and we have come up with a really cool new arrangement of their awesome song.

What was particularly cool about doing this was that I got to run the whole thing by Courtney (Taylor-Taylor) beforehand and he gave me his blessing and let me go into The Dandy Warhols’ studio with one of their engineers to record and mix the thing. I’ve said it before, but he’s RAD and when I was doing a last-minute lyric check with him he said “It’s yours now”, which made me grin ear to ear. I’m also happy to report that, upon hearing the first mix of the song, he still approved. WHEW!

🙂

I met with Bystander Productions tonight about doing a video for the track as well…I’ll keep you guys posted as things develop with this. Jeremy Sherrer and I will be finished mixing this coming week at some point, then it’s off to mastering, then…TO YOU! In the meantime, you can watch the original video that the Warhols made when they first released it HERE.

DANDYS RULE OK.
