Additional contest details and assorted nitty gritty here.

This is from a session from March. The guy with the awesome falsetto? Bram. The guy doing hands-free on the keyboards? Aaron Arntz. Enjoy!

If you love Obi, please vote for their video on MTV U, and help get it into rotation at all the universities.

You can vote as many times as you like, so feel free to block out full days of your life this week to to sit at your computer and help put Obi on the map. Actually, go out and live life to the fullest, but if your roommate’s hogging the bathroom and you need to kill some time, please pop in and throw a few votes Obi’s way. Voting closes this Friday May 15th, 5 pm (PST). Thanks friends!

The cultural juggernaut has spoken! Of course we think our newborn deserves a sweeter score, but 6.4 isn’t so bitter in Pitchfork terms. Read and decide for yourself whether Obi has been mis-understanded/mis-underestimated or this just tastes like dark chocolate.

Have a look-see at the Grand Prize Winner of our video contest. The competitive was stiff, but out of 20 videos, this is the one that captured our hearts the most. Charming, funny, creative, ethnically diverse, and thoroughly engaging…it had about a million and one things going for it. For the record, we think the little girl deserves an Oscar, or at least a giant mug of non-alcoholic beer and some popcorn!
Congratulations Nathan Morse (director) and Maray, Joycie and Danny (the actors)!
