My friend Ingrid Michaelson released this kick ass record yesterday and I’m pretty sure a billion of my other pals played instruments on it, including Chris Kuffner who is producing my new record and Elliot Jacobson who played drums on it. Everyone is intertwined! Sexually*! 

It is currently #1 on iTunes can you even believe it?!!!!?!?!!!!

CLICK HERE TO BUY THIS RECORD AND LISTEN TO IT ON REPEAT

*joke

Yay for Ingrid’s new album and for it being number 1 on iTunes!!

Playing on this record and working with Ingrid and David Kahne was an incredible experience. I’m so happy that it’s being released into the world and that people are enjoying it. I feel super thankful to be a part of it. 

(i also got to play a bunch of really cool bass chord stuff way up high on the neck, so that was fun too.)

Get it!!!

I played drums/cymbals on Dan Romer’s score in this film. Coming soon to a theater near you. So proud of Dan and Benh for kicking butt at Sundance. Click the image for the full story.

“After several days of accelerating heat, U.S. rights to Benh Zeitlin’s debut film Beasts of the Southern Wild have been acquired by Fox Searchlight. Most of the major indie distributors — The Weinstein Co., Sony Pictures Classics and Focus Features among them — sought to pick up the gritty, elliptical drama, which had its world premiere Friday at the Eccles Theatre. Oscilloscope and IFC Films also were involved in bidding. Fox Searchlight will release Beasts this year.”

This is the film I just scored. It’s called Beasts of the Southern Wild. A bunch of my friends played the music with me. Go see it when it comes to your town!

How weird to have an ad for a recording school with a picture of a dude with a CD! That’s like having a film school ad with a guy holding a VHS tape.

PS CDs had their first popularity boom in 1985, VHS had theirs in 1980. The first album to sell a million copies on CD was the Dire Straits album Brothers in Arms.

Why was I not invited to this party

I literally thought that was Dannielle.

I thought it was Danielle and Ingrid.

The new album from @JennyOwenYoungs is now available for preorder. You may remember my chest waxing video (Google it). And you may remember me talking about recording drums on this. Well, both of those things happened and then some other stuff happened. And now you can own An Unwavering Band of Light. CLICK THE PICTURE TO ORDER. I seriously can’t wait for you to hear this music. 

This album is full of Jenny’s blood sweat and tears. Preorder all of those things.

Benh Zeitlin and I always make sure we have a fresh bottle of whiskey for accordion tracking.
