Sweet New Dirty Filthy Remix

April 20, 2010

I had the good fortune of meeting hip-hop artist Gotham Green through our mutual friend, photographer Koury Angelo, on twitter this past winter, and we immediately began collaborating. He was working on his full-length album Haze Diaries Volume 3 with producer and world-class DJ, Quickie Mart, and they invited me to come and listen to what they were working on and perhaps sing on some stuff. I had already downloaded and loved Haze Diaries Volume 2, so I was excited to work with these guys. I ended up writing a couple hooks and laying the vocals down that day. Not bad for our first time meeting! After being blown away by both Gotham and Quickie Mart, I asked if they would take a stab at remixing my new song “Dirty Filthy Liar,” which I had just recorded solo at Sanctum Sound Studios in LA after winning 4 hours of studio time with them through super kick-ass music website, OurStage.com. They were down. A few days later, they had a rough sketch of what you’re about to hear worked out and it…sounded…amazing. Thank you, crazy social media world, for introducing me to two of the most talented up-and-coming artists out there. Our forces combined, we can make some crazy stuff happen. I’m excited.

You can download this remix FOR FREE at www.djquickiemart.com, as well as many more amazing musical projects of his and Gotham Green. These guys rule. Seriously.

Have a glorious day!

Comin Atchoo, American Idol…

April 14, 2010

Powerfox and I have given ourselves a mission: to match American Idol’s weekly themes in an effort to have fun and sing songs together. This self-imposed assignment began when we magically posted “No Scrubs” by TLC just in time for R&B week. The week after that was Lennon/McCartney week, so we worked out some harmonies for the classic tune “Come Together.”

When we heard the theme for this week is the music of Elvis, we donned our purple sweatshirts and got to work. Here we are, showing a much softer (and awkwardly romantic) side.

Look for a new American Idol theme video from us every week! You can subscribe to us at youtube.com/PowerfoxandPonymane as well as follow us at twitter.com/PowerandPony. And did I mention becoming a fan on Facebook.com/PowerfoxandPonymane? I think that covers it. Be our friend, leave a comment, sing along…

We Have A Winner!!!

Yay, it’s so exciting!!! The winning video response to my Loudly Talking Cell-Phone User Challenge is quite a masterpiece. Submitted by Leslie Applebaum and Phil Marzullo out of Chicago, this video ponders the age-old question, “Who is the #1 Jes Hudak fan?” Haha so maybe I was a little persuaded by the subject matter…but they really did an amazing job and clearly had a blast doing it. So Phil and Leslie, sit back and enjoy the fame that having your video posted on my website will most definitely bring you. Haha you’re both just so freaking awesome!!! I love you guys!!!
