DJ Schrute will be spinning "his favorite alternative and indie rock tunes" on a show aptly titled the Rainn Wilson Radio Takeover.

The Week at Paste

By Josh Jackson at 6:00 AM on June 6, 2008

It was a busy week at Paste. Several Paste staffers returned from Sasquatch, we welcomed Ben Sollee by the office for a performance, celebrated two upcoming arrivals into the Paste family with a double shower, said hello to a brand new crop of interns, and oh yeah, I started a blog. Here's a little round-up of what was going on at PasteMagazine.com this week:Rainn Wilson video from SasquatchRainn Wilson goes toe-to-toe (at least that's how I hope it was) with our own Jason Killingsworth, complaining that his favorite band The National has gotten all uppity since their album landed #1...  read more

Trailer out for Rainn Wilson's The Rocker

By Sean Gandert at 9:46 AM on May 13, 2008

UPDATE: Watch our exclusive video of Rainn Wilson at Sasquatch here. Kicked out of his band, a middle-age rock musician unites with a ragtag group of kids to form a successful group. No, we're not talking about School of Rock, but rather the upcoming The Rocker—quite a different film. How different? While the earlier film starred Jack Black playing guitar, this one instead has Rainn Wilson playing drums. Hmm... perhaps a better way to distinguish between the films is to check out the new trailer: See? Clearly there are quite a few things to distinguish The Rocker. Aside from the...  read more

Meanwhile, Film Independent's Spirit Awards just nabbed Rainn Wilson to host the annual event, which took place a night before the Oscars. And while he wasn't nominated for his Juno cameo, Wilson's "audition" tapes for the Best Feature nominees recently surfaced on /Film. Watch Wilson get into...  read more
