Last night’s Spirit Independent Film Awards featured Wakey!Wakey!’s “Square Peg Round Hole” during their broadcast alongside songs by Phoenix and our friends Princeton. It’s a wonderful festival that celebrates the independent film makers out there in a way no one else really does and we’re proud to be involved! Also Eddie Izzard was hosting, and who’s really cooler than Eddie Izzard? We also made it onto Emile Hersh’s Spirit playlist! For a full playlist of the songs played on air during the Spirits, check out the player below.

Well here is something we never thought we’d see happen! Our good friend Paul Cantor, a writer and producer who has worked with Freeway, Wu-Tang Clan, Mya, and Kool G Rap, was so into Wakey!Wakey!’s current single “Twenty-Two” that he created a special Hip Hop remix. It features up-and-coming rapper Theo Martins who adds two verses of his own, speaking on the topic and cleverly adding to the song’s underlying storyline. Download it for free over at NahRight.com, the #1 Hip Hop blog in the world.

Note that the title of this post includes the words “part 1″, implying there is another remix coming. It might come from a totally different direction altogether, so keep your eyes peeled!

Did you watch Apple’s unveiling of their new AMAZING product the iPad? Did you salivate and wish you had one already? We sure did. You can probably guess how excited we were when Apple gave our manager Wes a call a few days ago asking if they could use our song “Almost Everything…” for thee iPad “how-to” video on their website. We’ve been long-time Apple users and are thrilled to be involved in a small way in the launch of this amazing product. And just in case you’re wondering, no we don’t have one yet haha. Watch the video HERE! Listen to the song in full on the the brand new WakeyWakeyMusic.com in the player on the side!

Update: You can now buy the new single “Twenty-Two” on iTunes, with b-side “Almost Everything…” from the iPad launch! Go here.
