::::::: 2007-07-09 :::::: welcome to the new site, keep checking back for music and more. ::::::: 2008-12-02 :::::: Smile Till It Hurts!, a film I scored this summer, will be appearing at the Slamdance Festival in Park City, UT this January. The movie is about Up with People, the weirdly perky, quasi- religious, family values singing group from the sixties. It's fascinating, and has tons of great footage of with-it young movement people singing about how great the world would be if everybody was nice to each other. I'm sure it will get a great response at the festival. ::::::: 2008-12-07 :::::: Watch The 2008 Video Game Awards hosted by Jack Black this Sunday, December 14th at 9:00 p.m. on Spike TV. I wrote the music for the epic, five minute rock opera that opens the show. Yeah! ::::::: 2009-02-21 :::::: Check out the Oscars tomorrow, sunday, 2/22/09. I co-wrote the music to Hugh Jackman's opening number. ::::::: 2009-03-19 :::::: I just got back from the Valley Lodge tour of Japan. We played shows in Osaka, Nagoya, Kyoto and Tokyo, and we never wanted to leave. Where else can you find Motorhead and Dio playing in the background at the hardware store? ::::::: 2009-03-26 :::::: Watch In The Motherhood this Thursday, March 26th at 8:00 p.m. on ABC and hear the dulcet sounds of the opening theme, brought to you by yours truly. It will completely blow your mind. ::::::: 2009-08-26 :::::: Please watch the 61st Annual Emmy Awards on Sunday, September 20th and cross your fingers for my nomination in the Outstanding Music and Lyrics category as a co-writer of Hugh Jackman's opening number at the Oscars. I will be sitting in the audience somewhere, wearing a monkey suit and a pair of Depends. ::::::: 2009-09-22 :::::: Holy Crap!! I won a 2009 Emmy Award in the category of Outstanding Music and Lyrics for co-writing Hugh Jackman's opening number at the Oscars this year!! Am I hallucinating?
