The Experience Music Project/Science Fiction Museum was invaded tonight by Amazonians and their plus-ones for the company’s annual post-holiday party complete with food, drink, dance, video games, and a look at J.K. Rowlings’ Tales of Beedle the Bard (a winning bid of £1,950,000 scored Amazon.com one of the seven handwritten copies, though the proceeds went to charity).

The Presidents of the United States of America played a short concert for the party, with frontman Chris Ballew unsuccessfully attempting to coerce Amazon president Jeff Bezos into crowd-surfing. The band began ending their set with a pretty good rendition of “Video Killed the Radio Star.” Though, Ballew’s clever improvisations took a turn for the worse when he brought up iTunes (a direct competitor to AmazonMP3.com). Oops.

Here’s a link to my favorite Presidents song from back in the days of Vans and headbanging. Enterprising YouTube searchers might even be able to find one of their songs from tonight’s show despite the band’s no-taping policy… That being said, their newest album, These Are the Good Times People will be out March 11 on Amazon.com.
