Bess Rogers and I are officially Epiphone endorsees!
These two sexy new additions to the family just arrived and are both playing and sounding super awesome. They will be seen in Bess’s next music video and also on tour with Rachael Platten and Ingrid Michaelson very soon.
Humbuckers!!! Woo Hoo!!!
Thanks Epiphone!!
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!
I already know this movie is going to make me cry my eyes out. I’m so happy for everyone involved!
OMG! i totally missed this yesterday. WOW! so awesome.
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

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.)
Just Having Fun: I love to buy music.
I love buying music. Always have, always will. iTunes, a local CD exchange, whatever. It’s not just about going in and getting what I’m looking for. It’s about stumbling upon other music in the process. Impulsive music purchases have always turned out beneficial to me. I…
i think it’s important that you spend money on music that you like and listen to. if you don’t give the artist money then they have to get another job and you don’t get anymore music from them. it’s that simple.
my personal policy is if i’ve put on a song 3 times or more i buy it. so many hours of labor by so many different people go into making those few minutes as good as they can be for YOU the listener. the least you can do is give a dollar to that person for making a song.
if you think of it as just a dollar then you think of all the people that you tip a dollar for doing something that takes very little effort and means almost nothing then it suddenly makes perfect sense to give St. Vincent a dollar for spending countless hours of her life learning how to sing, play the guitar/a ton of other instruments, and understand the core elements of how to manipulate lyrics harmony and rhythm well enough to write the music and lyrics to and then record herself perfectly executing every vocal and guitar part in “Cruel” (not to mention any other instruments that she may have played on that recording).
this is not easy stuff. please tip a dollar. it feels good to give back.
