June 30, 2007: Morrissey may be still ill, cancelling his Madison Square Garden appearance, but Ronnissey is ready to sing. Don’t miss this one! Details here.

I journeyed to the south of France this year to mix with the global ad community during the Cannes Lions awards show..
Camping out at a villa in Mougins, just north of Cannes, with my buddy Wilbert Hirsch from Audio Consulting Group in Germany, I met some excellent people from places as diverse as Madrid, Mumbai and LA. Pics here!

Taking the cable networks by storm:

new rock out theme music for First Take, the new morning program on ESPN2… tune in 10am EST Mon-Fri.

new brand identity music for the Game Show Network, lots of beat boxing… tune in anytime for that stuff.

a psychedelic promo for the History Channel’s documentary Hippies.

I’ve just completed the new Bluefly.com TV ad “The Catch,” directed by Tony Goldwyn. This one even has a ninety second version, which, aside from being an eternity in the jingle world, is long enough to allow for a guitar solo by yours truly. Enjoy! I love working with these folks. Great company, great agency, great spots.

I have a new spot for Prince, the folks who made my very first racquet. It’s for their new high-tech wiz-bang 03 Speedport. I worked hard on getting the sound design to indicate that you could literally annihilate your opponent with this racquet. Watch and listen here.

This will come as no surprise to those who know me. I am about to step in the the role I feel I’ve been training for my entire life: guitar player (Johnny Marr) for a Smiths tribute band. Yes, I am preparing for my first gig with The Sons and Heirs, a new NYC based Smiths tribute. First show will be December 7th at Magnetic Field in Brooklyn.
