Testing something with Instagram for the Monsters Calling Home site. Fun stuff and it works surprisingly well. It even pulls the comments you add to each photo off as a caption. Yay Embedagram!

Posted on February 15, 2012 | PermalinkPosted on February 15, 2012 | PermalinkI think we’ll probably lose to a Muppets song, but you know, there’s no shame in that. It was really fun to see our names associated with the Academy Awards in any capacity. If we are in fact nominated that would be a blast, but none of us are crossing our fingers on that. Win Win was just a really fun project to work on. Tom McCarthy asked us to write a song for the end of the film. The whole thing was just a really good experience. So yeah, if it gets any more recognition, that would be just icing.
For Cory, To Beverly. Love, Monsters.

What follows are brief thoughts I managed to scribble down when I had the time and, I hope, provide a reasonably helpful description of the albums I have enjoyed the most this year.

Posted on December 13, 2011 | PermalinkHoliday advertising never makes me want to buy anything. Instead, it manages to make me aware of and grateful for the fact that I already have everything I need. To me, the holidays are entirely about spending time with friends and family.
