A lot of people have been asking us for more video updates because our first ones were watched by a whopping 98 people….c’mon you gotta re-tweet this if you want us to take the time to make some videos.

Anyways, if a picture is worth 1000 words than this video is worth at least 10,000 words. So on that note. No more words. Just click to watch.

Real Housewives of Atlanta

The night begins

Jingle Punks should feel proud today. We were lucky enough to have our music in this season of Real Housewives of Atlanta. Ethan, Dan and I went to MPE to watch the first episode with the folks who created the show. The party was pretty fun, we drank some champagne and got laughed at because our new business cards have um…our pics on em… which some people found creepy and other folks found hilarious. Either way it was a great ice breaker and we met some really cool folks. Check out some of the snaps from this night.

Having some civilized drinks with the EP of Real Housewives of Atlanta

We took it to the Jane street hotel for some post housewives nightcaps.

After jingle schmingling for a few hours we watched the first episode which was amazing. Ep #1 ended with a classic scene about how customer service these days is a dying trend. We hope we never have a scene like this in our offices and we learned a great lesson by watching how not to run a company.

This clip is classic. Enjoy!

Whatever happened to customer service?

So this week has already started with a bang. First off. Jingle Punks has finally moved into our new office. We are so excited to now have a space where we can meet clients, compose music and hang out with all our Jingle bands when they swing through town. We also just put the finishing touches on our first ever compilation of Jingle Punks key tracks for the month of July. If you are on our mailing list you will be getting a link to this shortly.

As well, Jingle Punks has been busy working on some really cool new projects. MTV recently asked us to do some pitches for a new show and to make these songs extra awesome we brought in some hired guns. Check out the below video and enjoy.

That’s all for now. Stay tuned as our next Jingle Blog is going to feature some behind the scenes shenanigans from our epic move.

Jingle Jared Goes to Mexico…

Today was a fun one.

It started off with news that a promo we did for History Channel had gone to air, featuring Ryan Star of Warner Music.

Next up, was music for the MTV Movie Awards which airs this weekend. We are psyched to be part of this because rumor has it that this year its going to be a really good one with some much needed comedy infused antics from Andy Samberg.

By the time I was ready for lunch I had already squeezed so much music into my day that was spent. Before I could get my lunch down I noticed in my ical I had 20 minutes to be in Brooklyn to record at Shabby Road studios for an HBO project. This project turned out to be the highlight of my day, if not the year thus far. I was asked to make some authentic Mexican music for a show open and was struggling to get that authentic sound. Then, last week, as I was about to give up, I found a Mexican folk band busking on the street and got their info. They agreed to come do an impromptu session of traditional folk songs for this and I would in turn produce a CD of music for them to keep. The deal was pretty sweet for all involved and I am very happy with the music we recorded and the overall vibe of the day.

Here are some pics and various recordings we made.

Not really…but it makes a good headline?

OK. If anyone caught the premiere of The Hills last night they were probably asking themselves many, many questions. ”Why is Heidi so smart?” ”Why is her boyfriend so handsome?” And possibly…”Why is there a ton of Jingle Punks tracks being played non-stop during the live component of the premiere?” OK, you may not have asked yourself any of these questions…but facts are facts and we can thank MTV (specifically Amanda and Kyle at MTV) for choosing some juicy jams to include in last nights festivities.

Here is a link to the madness… There were nearly 30 scenes that used cuts from the library (including tracks from Group Sounds and Generals & Majors).
