Apparently it’s video week over here. Here’s another video for a song I produced … debuting on Esquire, of all places. Killer video.

Here’s a brand-new video for a song I produced. Beautifully shot piece, great song.

Today marks the release of Shannon’s new record. We’re very proud of it, and we hope you like it. Headphones recommended.

OK, this is super exciting for me. The first ArnoCorps record, which was one of the first records I ever produced (in 2005!), is being re-released on vinyl on Alternative Tentacles. Yes, that Alternative Tentacles. Home of the Dead Kennedys.

Now, I don’t know about you guys, but I grew up on Dead Kennedys, and Jello Biafra was a hero to me. I used to read about him in newsprint zines that I’d find in record stores on family trips to Boston in the 80s and I was enthralled. His brand of free speech and anti-establishmentarianism seemed revolutionary to 11-year-old me. And those records were vicious. Dead Kennedys could PLAY.

I have all the original AT pressings of the DK stuff, and even some of the 2-for-1 reissue CDs they put out in the 90s … this stuff helped shape my childhood and who I am. I had Lard “Last Temptation Of Reid” in the early 90s … I wore out my VHS copy of the Ministry video where Jello comes out on stage in a diaper … this is all some of the most seminal stuff for me.

So to have something I’ve done enshrined in the same pantheon feels like a tremendous achievement for sure. It’s like being connected to my childhood heroes. Amazing.
