some of you might have noticed a new series on Cartoon Network called Adventure Time With Finn & Jake. it kicked off April 5th and shows every monday at 8pm. if you haven't, here's a little linkage:

long story short, an Adventure Time pilot was produced by my art college buddies in 2006. late last year Cartoon Network greenlit the series and started production. last month the composer, Casey James Basichis, brought me on board to help make the music! the cartoon is as much imaginative and aimed for kids as it is surreal and hilarious for us grown folk. in going from an relative outsider to a inner circler, I've become really excited about 1) my friends' accomplishments, 2) knowing about and 3) being involved with one of the coolest things on TV!
obviously I highly recommend checking out the cartoon (there is a free episode on iTunes store - http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewTVSeason?id=361706312&s=143441 ), but in any regard defo keep an ear out for the music - when my episodes air I'll bump this thread. this project is an amazing opportunity for Casey and I to infuse network TV with our own brand of musical madness. consider hearing a juke influence in an episode..
and now the treat of treats: the studio posted up the full score to this week's episode, The Jiggler!! have a listen - the entire thing is unbelievable, and features a ton of my own squashed and stretched vocals.
