Congratulations to Nick Canfield and the recent screening of Oh Yeah! at DOC NYC. This is a great documentary short about the song Oh Yeah by Yello. I'm a Yello fan, so it was great to learn more about these musicians and the stories behind the song. You can now watch the full short on the Rolling Stone YouTube channel. Mix by Optical Audio. Go check it out! Chi... chicka chickaaaaaa....

After working on this movie for so long, I forgot that googling this film might be problematic. I'm sorry AI Assistant. I did find out that it will be playing this weekend at Alamo Drafthouse Austin South Lamar. Sat and Tues are just about sold out, but there are tickets available Halloween night. Go check it out after Trick or Treating. Adults who like to laugh only!

FCK My Son will be premiering at The Toronto International Film Festival next month! Congratulations to Todd Rohal and everyone who worked on this film. Todd is one of my favorite people, and it's a dream to be working with him again on a new feature film. This film is like nothing I have ever seen before. Tipper Newton, Robert Longstreet and Steve Little give incredible performances that bring this movie into another dimension beyond the comic it is adapted from. Slime mixed with oatmeal fart sounds, and much more by Optical Audio.

A new season of King of the Hill will be premiering on August 4th. I worked on the entire original series, and now the reboot. I recorded the voice of Mike Judge, and Johnny Hardwick before he passed. Thinking of Johnny and how happy he would be with the new season. Check it out!

Oh Yeah! The new documentary short by Nick Canfield will be premiering soon at The Tribeca film festival. It was great to work with Nick and Paul again on this film. I had been in a deep Yello youtube hole before I worked on this film, so it must have been a premonition. I remember seeing Ferris Bueller with my Mom on the opening weekend. The scene of Ferris faking his illness with a sampler keyboard made a big impression on me. Then the later scene with the Ferrari, and Oh Yeah was just perfect. Samplers are so cool. If you are going to the festival, get your tickets now! Re-recording mix by Optical Audio. #nickcanfilm #paullovelace

I'm excited for the premiere of Leads, the latest film by Bryan Poyser at the Tribeca Film Festival. It was such a great experience working with this talented group of people. The crew and talent from Texas State are outstanding, and it's always a treat to work with Heather and Justin. If you are going to the fest, get your tickets now! Re-recording mix and ADR at Optical Audio. #bryanpoyser #filmjustinarnold #iamheatherkafka

I had to say goodbye to one of my favorite cables today. We have been through a lot together. It was my longest cable... the first to grab. Skinny and flexible. RIP Mr. Mogami. You served me well, and I offer my gratitude.

Tonight at the 13th Floor is the record release show for the new album Duplex by The Stayres. I helped record and mix this record at the studio. I'm a big fan of the band, and I'm grateful to have worked with them again. Come check out the show and look for the vinyl in stores. I highly recommend. #thestayres #13thfloor
