Andrea’s Appearance in the Avicii Documentary

Fotor060313397

 

Avicii is one of the hottest DJ’s in the EDM scene and it is truly an honor to be featured in his new documentary! What’s even cooler is that I have yet to actually interview him. Apparently, my commentary of him walking by me was so riveting that it made it into the film. Not bad!

The documentary is right now only available in Sweden, and there is no way I would have known about it unless a friend in Stockholm messaged me about my appearance. Cue a few posts on Facebook and Twitter asking for the link, and voila, here it is! Click this link to view the documentary. Catch me around the 12:50 mark covering Avicii’s historic set at the ULTRA Music Festival in Miami in 2012:

Next time, I just have to talk to him. Baby steps.

 

Cowboys v. Hot Sauce

It’s summer! That means the weather is getting hot hot hot, which is exactly why we ended our Clash of the Cowboys Part 1 with the Hot Sauce Challenge. (Note: For those unfamiliar with the PBR circuit, the Built Ford Tough Series takes a summer break in May and returns in August. Clash of the Cowboys will also return then.) The challenge for our Cowboys was simple enough: hold on to the hot sauce for dear life in the back of our Ford F-150 as a member of the opposing team drives them through a crazy, off-road course. All I can say is thank goodness I did not have to clean up that mess! The inside of the car was poisonous to the nostrils and vomit-inducing to the eyeballs. Sorry, I hope you weren’t just enjoying a lovely meal.

As an unintentional off-roader myself – i.e. my SUV meant to go over that curb, thank you very much! – I truly appreciated this challenge. I also gave mad props to Bull Rider Brendon Clark who – SPOILER ALERT – actually pounded a shot of that nasty stuff in the end. Well, kind of. These guys are the toughest men I’ve ever met, and their stomachs aren’t so shabby either to be handling that.

Here are the clips that aired on CBS Sports during the PBR Built Ford Tough Series:

We Are Live Again from Miami for ULTRA 15!!

Our motto this year was ""Let's Make History Together"" - and we have already done that from Weekend 1. During Hardwell's set - who is set to become the #1 DJ if you believe the buzz in the Twitterverse - we concurrently streamed with close to 100,000 people worldwide AND broke his twitter! He received a letter from Twitter saying that he used 30% of the Twitter bandwith and subsequently shut his account down (temporarily of course). We also broke Goldfish Live's website after we did an in depth 10 minute interview with the South Africans, which included questions like ""What shampoo do they use?"" Have you seen their hair- then you will understand.

And then, of course, there is this weekend. It is Swedish House Mafia's final set EVER as a trio, and we are going to be airing it live. Let's see if we can make real history- and all come together for this special moment! I will try my best to hold back the tears.

Join me as I host the livestream at http://www.youtube.com/umftv from 4:30pm Eastern Time.
