The day the dog came to the office . . .03/06/2009

Hi guys, it is Jadeen here so expect an amazing blog!

Today, Gemma has bought her boyfriends mother’s dog, Widget,  into the office. Will has already trod on the dog- so Widget is not having the best time!

I am scared of dogs- so i’m keeping my distance!

I’m off to see Mesrine tonight – it is a French film. Looking forward to it!

Anyways, enough rambling by me. Here is what is on Channelbee:

Charlie talking to Kissy Sell Out

Charlie talking to Kissy Sell Out

Kissy Sell Out and his band were so nice! They were really funny and had some great stories.

I love the single too.

Kissy Sell Out - This Kiss

The Maccabees

The Maccabees tell a story about the most boring dream ever. . .am I selling it to you?! No seriously, it is really funny!

Enjoy people. . .I will see you all again soon!

Channelbee Today – 29/05/2009

Howdy y’all. Yeah, it’s Harriet writing the wordpress today, so i’m going to take all the credit for the fabulous content we have on offer.

Last night Neil, Sheephead and Tim went to see ‘Looking for Eric’ at the Vue in Leciester Square. Ken Loach gave a bit of a talk before the film about how the idea for it came about. It was apparently the first time one of his sets had been so interesting to the paparazzi. He said they had to hide Eric Cantona around Manchester when they were filming to avoid a mobbing! Check out our ‘Looking for Eric’ clips on the site for a taster. Three Men & A Movie to follow…

Watch out for our Friday Gag too which will be hitting up your inboxes very soon.

Up on Channelbee today we have:

The first ever Channelbee Wine Club! Tim and Sheephead give some nice English wines a taste with wine expert Julia Trustran Eve. This is all in honour of English Wine Week which runs from the 23rd May to the 31st May. What’s the verdict?

Darren Gibbs, the self-defence expert and star of our Friday Gag from last week shows us a few moves.

We’ve put up some Darren Gibbs Outtakes too, just incase you missed out on a few of his techniques…

Here’s the first ‘Looking for Eric’ clip. Looking at it, it looks like Looking for Eric looks good.

Here’s the new advert for the Adidas F50 boots. Bit cryptic. We’ve got some behind the scenes footage from it too, so take a look.

Hope you have a lovely weekend all. Sunshine please.

The Aftermath of the Champions League Party – 28/05/09

Hi guys, it is Jadeen writing today’s blog.

We have good news, Fenners is back!  He said his holiday was “great apart from the very eventful journey home”. You can hear more about  that in Fenner’s blog which will be up tomorrow.

Last night was fun, sorry about the result Dyson ! We played pass the cup and Neil and I won! I was so happy – I got £100!

You can see the highlights below:

Pass The Cup

We Want Answers with Joan Rivers

Joe and I went to interview her. She was lovely!

Continuing the Rio theme from yesterday, here is Rio on Ronaldo

Today we have Football Punk coming into the office to do an interview and me, Sheephead, Robbie and Gemma are just about to eat a Japanese for lunch.

I hope you enjoyed my blog,  I’ll be back!

Channelbee Today – 27/05/2009 Champions League Final Day

Hello blog fans, Jamie here losing my wordpress virginity on a day dominated by just one thing; thats right The Apprentice. Im joking it is of course the Champions League Final between Man Utd and Barcelona and to celebrate Channelbee has dedicated almost every aspect of the site to the occasion, but not just the front page, even the office has had a minor makeover.

It is still early doors so expect plenty more decorations and office suprises throughout the day all leading up to tonights main event; Pass The Glass.

What is Pass The Glass? i hear you cry, well we’re extending our normal working hours tonight to watch the game in the office and during the match a pint glass full of our money will be passed around each time there is a stop in play, a throw in for example. Whoever is holding the glass when the first goal is scored gets the money. The good news for banterpitters is that one of you has a chance of scooping the jackpot, all you have to do is register your name here ; and one pitter will be drawn at random today, then represented tonight by me, ( a cut of the winnings would be appreciated )

The event will be broadcast live from 7pm on Kyte, you can watch and chat here and as if that wasn’t enough,  should you want to express your opinions on the game or have anything else to say to the Channelbee team phone us on this number 07957 198284.

The office is still slightly depleted today, Fenners and Stotty are on holiday, Tony the cockney is ill after eating too many jellied eels and Sheephead and Jadeen have been away this morning interviewing none other than Joan Rivers.

Back to the main site and new today is Robbie’s champions league blag, a night of football always works best hand in hand with beer and pizza so find out who Robbie managed to get to sponsor this evening’s event.

Also new today is the latest Adidas viral, featuring Zidane and very appropriately Lionel Messi

Finally, utd’s likely captain for this evening Rio Ferdinand is featured in 3 brand new videos on the site today, here is the first where Rio talks us through the jokers in the Utd team.

We’ve got plenty more champions league final related videos, including Michael Carrick and Clive Tyldesley talking about Sir Alex Ferguson. All that remains to be said now on behalf of the whole office apart from Robbie, is good luck Man Utd and make sure you join us live tonight for Pass The Glass.

Slaters!

Channelbee Today – 22/05/2009 Pre-bank holiday joy

Hello all, Harriet here!

We’re all feeling pretty pleased with ourselves today in anticipation of another bank holiday weekend. Having said that ‘we’ are pretty thin on the ground today; Neil is away at a wedding, Fenners is sunning himself on the continent, Chris has gone on holiday, Sheephead and Jamie are filming at Lords, and Ben, Dyson and Charlie are in Coventry filming Charlie doing a Speedway piece. phew. Anyway, myself, Robbie, Tony and Jadeen are holding up the fort and a fine job we are doing too.

Today’s exclusive Friday gag was sent out today, it features this chap:

If you’d like to sign up to receive our Friday gags click here. They make weekends even better.

So, new up on Channelbee today we have:

A nice wholesome gag about drunken antics. As you can see from the picture, it features Sheephead’s world famous drunk acting. You may recognise this from such gags as ‘After Party’. Fabulous.

We Want Answers from Richard Bacon. Filmed in his 5 live studio. Fact.

New trailer for ‘The Hangover’ which features yet more great air drumming to Phil Collins if you weren’t sick of the Cadbury’s advert yet… Looks good; filmed in and around Las Vegas.

On behalf of Channelbee i’d like to wish you all a very happy bank holiday weekend. We’ll be back soon, until then, adieu, adios, and come visit us on the banterpit!

Channelbee Today- 21/05/09 . . . The Morning after the Night Before

Hello, Jadeen here.  It’s my first go at this so fingers crossed!

Some of the Channelbee team went out last night…Jamie and Ben were working hard at the launch party for the International Football Awards. Ok, they didn’t manage to get any interviews but they did end up chatting to Salomon Kalou.  Does that count as a success?  Then when they came home they took part in a creme egg challenge…the aim was to see how many creme eggs they could eat in 1 hour.  At least they’ve got a goal in life.  Anyway, if you’re interested, after much debate it was agreed they both managed 11 creme eggs.  Again, success of a kind. 

Robbie went to see Kasabian at a “secret gig”. He said, “it was good, hardly anyone was there so I could get down the front. The encore was The Source Ft. Candi Staton’s ‘You’ve Got The Love’ leading into LSF. It sounded skilliant.”

Tom Looking a bit like Meatloaf

Serge on stage

And today a lot of the team are involved in making a new gag. Here are a few pictures: 

Can you guess what it is?  Should be ready to go next week sometime.

And Robbie and Ben are now off to interview Saint and Greavesie.  The older boys tell me they used to be great and did something like Soccer AM years before Soccer AM but I’m far too young to remember.

All busy then!  Here is what is new on Channelbee today:

Tim talking to "Pulling"'s Sharon Horgan

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tim preparing for his interview with Sharon Horgan, with a little help from Robbie and Jadeen

 

Awaydays writer Kevin Sampson’s guide to “casual” fashion

 

Rock Profile with Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow.

This is on http://www.funnyordie.co.uk/.

Hope you like my first ever blog 

There will be a new one tomorrow from a member of the team !

Channelbee today (20/05/2009)

For the second time this week life at Channelbee got off to an extremely early start this morning with Neil getting into the office just after 7am! It seems we are slowly becoming nocturnal… It’s all in the good name of creativity however as Neil is filming a spoof film trailer today and much preparation is required. Robbie is also planning on doing some more lying to the public today, and Fenners has gone off on holiday to Menorca. According to the weatherman it’s 25c out there so he should be in for a scorcher.

New today on Channelbee:

Charlie’s blog today comes from a pitlane in Brands Hatch where she shows us some of the cars that people have brought over to have a drive-around in. The Brands Hatch ‘open day’ seems to be more of an Ferrari showcase than anything else…

Robbie gives Lucy the chance to win £50 in Celebrity Face Off. How good is her celebrity knowledge?

Our third exclusive “Awaydays” interview features the producer David A. Hughes talking about clearing the soundtrack for the film. Don’t forget – it’s out on Friday!

Our latest UR A&R is from solo artist Alex Roots, who lists her main influences as Gwen Stefani and Avril Lavigne. Is angry girl music back?

We also have a new video up from Le Roux. ‘Bulletproof’ is her third single and the video appears to be set in a pastel coloured spaceship. Her gravity-defying hair would suggest she’s used to these sorts of surroundings.

Have a ball with this lot, and come and visit us on the banterpit if you’ve got any comments/suggestions/tips on how we can get more sleep…

Robbie Knox’s Music Playlist (20/05/09)

Hello rock fans,

A flurry of music in the office recently. Here’s what we like the sound of…

THE TWANG – JEWELLERY QUARTER (album)

http://www.myspace.com/thetwang

I got a watermarked copy of the new Twang album yesterday. It isn’t out till July so we’ve got it very early. The sound is similar to Love It When I Feel Like This, so if you’re a fan of the band, you’ll won’t feel let down. I’ve only played it twice so I’ll give you a fuller review in a couple of days.

PASSION PIT – MANNERS (album)

This video is The Reeling from Passion Pit’s debut album Manners. The album has much bigger production than the Chunk of Change EP – children’s choir, etc. A definite improvement.

KISSY SELL OUT – THIS KISS

I interviewed Kissy Sell Out in a gondola lift at Snowbombing. He’s very tall. This single is out on 1st June, album after that.

PULLED APART BY HORSES – MEAT BALLOON

Very popular at The Great Escape (I didn’t see them myself), this Leeds band are mega. I look forward to seeing them live soon.

THE TEMPER TRAP – SCIENCE OF FEAR

These Aussies release their debut album this summer. I’ve heard it and it’s great. They did a URA&R recently too, you should check it out on Channelbee.

KASABIAN – FIRE

It’s already one of the singles of the year and it isn’t out yet. Check out the bit on the video where Tom and Chris fall down on the steps. There is no way that’s acting!

ASHER ROTH – LARK ON MY GO KART

Legal nonsense means that we can’t see the video in the UK yet. But here is a live version. Ha! Have that lawyers!

Enjoy people.

“Pulling”‘s Sharon Horgan pops into the Channelbee studio

Sharon Horgan just popped by for an interview with Tim Lovejoy:

She was lovely and very game for a laugh, even when faced with Jadeen’s questions.  Check Channelbee on Thursday for the interview.
